 It's time to go.
Most people are on the train by now. Settled into their cabins and among friends and loved ones. There are only three new arrivals left to board and once they do, Hal pulls a conductor's hat out from underneath the bar, tugs it on, and steps around it to the middle of the train. He opens his mouth to talk, voice filling the train.
"It's time to go. Stops happen once a day until everyone's departed and I already have your stopped listed. If you'd like to be prioritized, let me know, otherwise we'll go in order of death. Settle in and enjoy the ride. If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask, folks."
This, of course, means that those who died earliest (Manfred, Higekiri) will depart first while those who died latest (Barnham, Damian, Percy) will depart last. There's a stop for everyone, though those who want to get off together are more than welcome to. Hal pulls a notepad and pen out of his pocket later and people will notice that he goes around the train confirming stops with everyone. Whatever feeling Hal may have had to a character back in town isn't noticeable here -- he is simply a robot assigned with a job.
After that, it's all a matter of settling in and enjoying the ride. If that's possible for you, at least.

[honestly tho Milla's just going to wait here until Yuna wakes up entirely. maybe she'll get herself a snack?? maybe she'll have a snack ready for when Yuna's up again. she might be hungry after this nap, after all!]

waking up is a Process but she is ever so slowly starting to roll over and then sit up, blinking blearily against the light.] What's for lunch...?
[it's past lunchtime. give her a minute]
no subject
Cookies, for now. [Milla answers, amusement lacing her words] Although it's just to start you off. You'll have to eat something with more substance later.

Really? [And now she's getting up properly, pausing to look at the blanket as it falls off in the process in confusion, and immediately refocusing her attention to sweets.] You're the best, Milla!

I had a feeling you'd be hungry when you woke up. All that energy you've expended running from place to place is really catching up with you.
