When: Day 22, evening
Where: around

[This evening, out of nowhere, Hazel's carriage disappears. There's a shower of sparkles, a bright light, and after that... it's gone. Anyone who was in its hallway is now in the Garden entrance. The Garden car itself is now hooked to Clover's carriage, as if it had aways been and Hazel was never real. Clover itself is currently bare as well -- the lock screen is dull, completely turned off, and there are no lights inside. No one is there, now, but at least the space remains.

In some carriages, that loss of vibrancy is countered by the appearance of some new heroes. In general, the gloomy mood throughout the train is only heightened by the onset of a heavy storm. Outside there's a crack of thunder that rattles the train, and it begins to pour so hard the edge of the clearing is barely visible through the windows.

The rain, the thunder, and the strobe-light effect of constant lightning will continue til dawn.]

Tsk-- [ alright usually kebishii do not talk and also are not polite

however, what other conclusion is he to make? ]

I don't know what trickery you're trying to pull on me, but you must be the source of this disturbance. Which means that if I kill you... I may return home.

[ that's the logic here.

so he has to win.

and he's suddenly moving-- fast, and his skill is apparent as he swings his sword towards her ]

[ her eyes flare red under the skull as she sighs, the sound audibly resigned— it's a very "I'm not mad, just disappointed" sort of sound. there's a moment of disorientation as she makes eye contact... and then dodges, an efficient and effortless sidestep that takes her the bare minimum out of the way of his swing. ]

You are wrong. I have been taken from my home, too.

[ he stumbles-- what? that's not right. he doesn't stumble. taken aback briefly he takes a moment to regain his bearings and turn towards her with his blade again, taking a stance ]

Likely story. [ mutters though he's somewhat less confident in his assertion now. still... it's such a simple answer. ]

The only reason anyone might willingly wear a skull on their head is if they are a Kebishii. Or if they just have terrible taste.

[ taking another few steps away, then waiting. come at her if you're gonna bro ]

The second is true. But ... the skull is more like what you might call a "shikigami."
