Even if there weren’t actually any murders, there’s still a mystery to solve!

[Yeah, whatever cosmic irony there is, it flies over March’s head. Having a -1 INT mod will do that.

She shudders at the thought of reviving Akivili. Part of the Path of Trailblaze is knowing there’s an end to the expedition—every passenger will, someday, disembark from the train. (March hopes that if ever their time to leave comes they all do it together.) The idea of dragging Akivili back long after THEIR travels have ended…yeah, no.]


So he thinks…that people are weak, and that the only way to keep everyone safe is to put them all in a cage? [A pause.] That’s awful. Not to mention blind! Even if there’s so much pain in the future that it scares you, you can’t just go to sleep and dream forever to escape from it. That just isn’t possible.

[March is a lot of things, but she’s never been one to back down from the future. The idea of trying to escape it because of the horrors it might contain is alien to her—yes, it might have horrors, but it might have such splendid adventures too. You take the good memories with the bad.]

Don’t leave me in suspense like this, Dan Heng!
