Reminiscence ~The Boy~

I had a great time.
It was really fun running around with Mary inside the train.
I don't remember why was I so happy, but both Mary and Mary's mother laughed a great deal.
I'm sure I was laughing with them too.

They were all nice people. Mr. Isaac, Miss Miria, Mr. Jacuzzi and Auntie Natalie. Everyone at the dining cart was very kind.
However, neither did I realize (their kindness) back then, nor did I try to figure it out.

But I think I understand now. Or rather, I would make an effort to understand even if I don't at the moment, at the very least.
Looking back, everything I've forgotten (about humanity) was inside of that train.
Maybe it served as a "crossroad" of some sort for me. If I didn't take that train - if I didn't meet Mr. Isaac and Miss Miria - I don't want to think beyond that.

Monster? Are you talking about the "Rail Tracer"1? ... That scarlet monster was... yes, I met it. Just like Mr. Isaac, that monster was also one to change my life. ... But It's scary for me to even think about it! I might go crazy any minute if I try too hard to remember...
It was a materialized form of power and fear. Whether it be violence or authority, the will of God or Devil, one's destiny or the cause and effect of every possible event - it was capable of twisting them all. That was the type of fear its presence reminded people of...

- Did I just say something that wasn't very child-like? You must be thinking too much. Yep, that must be it. Okay? Ahaha.
