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.]

Then why are you wearing it?

[ He's genuinely curious. ]

[ ...hums, pensive ]

It is attached, but ...

It is truer to say I am wearing this body.

I am.

Is... the body okay with being worn?

[ Mostly he's trying to wrap his mind around this. ]

... the body is empty.

[ looking away ]

But ... he chose me when he was still there. We do not take involuntary hosts.

Then that's all that matters, really.

[ It's not like Crow figures he has any way of verifying any of that. ]
