You hurriedly looked at your arm again. Glitchy scars made their appearance on your arm up until your elbow. Does that mean you could be part of combat?

"If you want to, maybe we can help you!" Yunli said.

"I..I think I need some alone..." You said, and they got out. March stopped, as if hesitating. She looked at you, a strange emotion in her eyes. She then stepped out. A clink was heard on the ground, yet you didn't pay much attention. You searched your closet, and rummaged through your gifts. You found it. YingXing craft. It was decorated. It had a block of quantum. It was made of wax. The blade was black, outlined with red. The handle was carefully grooved, and had a golden aura. You smiled softly. This was your sword. And Yunli, Yanqing along with March 7th were going to train you. You put it aside. You found an outfit SilverWolf gave you. You put it on.

A black skirt with tight brown leggings covers your bottom, as a white shirt with a grey jacket and a green tie was above your waist. It was giving hot office girl.

You tried another outfit.

You wore short dark blue pants, and under it were light blue leg stockings. You wore a sleeveless white shirt, and a black jacket cape was hovering above your shoulders. On your neck, you wore a blue collar, similar to Elio's. And behind, a blue cape was attached to your waist. High legged heels covered your feet. You wore white sleeves, and the bottom & top were decorated in a flowery design. This outfit was also tight, but it suited you. You decided to wear blue contacts, and dye your hair to fit in. Your contacts avoided your green unusual eyes from showing, and really light pink hair was now a replacement for your white long hair. You decided to cut it, so it reached shoulder length. It was still high enough for a low bun. You felt god with this.

You pulled out the cosmetics pack from Kafka. You applied blush, lipstick, eyeliner and red eyeshadow under your eyelids. Perfect You thought.

You got up, and took the blade. In front of the door, a little metallic sheet had fallen on the floor. It resembled a ticket. It was generally gold, but the top was crimson. You decided to ask March 7th after the two taught you swordsmanship.

And here you were next to March, in front of the Parlor Car door from the outside. You had a bag on, with everything the Stellaron Hunters gifted you. Sweat was streaming down the side of your head. Would they judge you, after the deeds you've done? March noticed the date that you were in, and put a hand on your shoulder.

"You're going to be fine!" She said cheerfully, yet you didn't believe her.

As you stepped in, several people, including the Trailblazer, were there. Your breaths were quick.

"March, who is this?" A red haired lady asked her, her soft gaze seemingly questioning your being.

"She's [Y/ N], we've met before." The Trailblazer answered for you, everyone's heads turning to her.

"How do you know? She might be a foe." A young boy said.

"Dan Heng, I know her!" March exclaimed. "..Well, she did hurt Yunli, but it was a misunderstanding! She's really nice!" She tried to defend you.

"N-no, March, i-it was improvising for Elio's plan..." You softly uttered.

"That's why you seemed kind of familiar. A Stellaron Hunter---"

"---I'm not a Stellaron Hunter!" You exclaimed, interrupting the red haired lady, making everyone look at you.

"In the past, I was. But now, I realized that all my life, I've been played, and wasted my time on other missions and people. I want to become a member of the Astral Express, to find my purpose." You said.

They all thought for a moment. The man with the brown hair nodded.

"I see. So you're just confused since the Stellaron Hunters have been playing you like a doll." He said.

"When you put it that way Welt, it does sound bad." The red haired lady said.

"So, is she going to join us?" March asks, excited.

"Yes." The red haired Lady said. "Also, I'm Himeko."

You smiled softly.

"Pleasure to meet you, Himeko."

"Don't forget mee!" A high pitched voice said.

A tiny creature with long ears and curious blue eyes wobbled to you.

"I'm your conductor, Pom-Pom. Now crouch down!" The creature said, and you did as told. They leaned forward, and placed a ticket like accessory on your chest.

"Welcome to the Astral Express, [Y/ N]."

THE END!

...is just the beginning....
