3rd POV. Sometime prior to Welt becoming a Passenger of the Astral Express. Parlor Car, Astral Express.

Sometime ago.....before Welt, Dan Heng, March 7th, and Stelle even boarded the Express.....

Himeko was barely starting her journey the moment she repaired the Astral Express.

And while on that journey, she passed by Avalon which was left desolated after the Swarm Disaster.

Himeko explored the ruins of the Kingdom of Britain, roamed throughout the ruins of Londinium, and then....

The moment she stepped foot inside Camelot Castle, she found it somehow intact. She noticed that there were particles of light dancing the empty halls of the once majestic castle.

Himeko: Hmm, now what answers lie in this ancient castle?

She explored the halls until she reached the empty throne room.

Himeko: What an intricate throne room. Despite all the destruction outside, this throne room remained immaculate and intact.

She wonders through intricate throne room until she discovered a bed of flowers.

And the person lying down on top of it.

A young man with blonde hair, wearing a blue tunic underneath a broken silver armor.

And on his hand was a sword......

Himeko: Is he alive......?

Himeko touches the unconscious young man....and she felt warmth.

Himeko: He's alive.....? But he looks like as if he is dead.

Himeko: Was he in asleep in a state of Temporal Stasis?

Himeko: If that is the case, is there even a way to break it?

Himeko searches across the castle to find a way to break the mysterious young man of his sleep....

Until she saw an omimous clock hovering above the throne.

Himeko: Hmmm, the hands of that clock is not moving. This is probably some power that allows a person to be frozen in time.

Himeko readies her suitcase and a sawblade comes out of it.

Himeko: Maybe I can try to brute force this one.

Himeko slashed the clock but it was quickly repelled by the mystical clock.

Himeko: All right. Maybe....

Himeko activates the blaster weapon of her suitcase and fires off a laser beam towards the mystical clock.

The laser made contact and resulted into a massive explosion. It created a thick dust.

Himeko: Hopefully it worked.

When the dust settled....

The mystical clock began to crack....
