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.

Suddenly, he reaches out and snatches the green bookmark somewhat more gently out of her hand. In turn, he replaces it with his own by slapping it against her palm while holding the back of the same hand.
He shoves her hand toward her as if to tell her to keep it, it's her, whatever. He doesn't want it.] Why do you think?
If I have to remember you, then it's only fair you're required to remember me.
[To not forget. Don't forget him.]

but then she beams, bringing her hand and the bookmark gently up to her heart.]
Then there's one more part of the deal. [Not that she didn't have every intention of asking about this anyway, but as long as they're phrasing things in requirements and ultimatums—even so, she's smiling so bright and warm.] You have to let me write you letters sometimes, so that way I can make a new one for you!
wtf every time i try to hurt you, you just double your efforts????
GOD.] ...Fine. I'll write you letters sometimes. [It's hilarious to, every week or two, get a letter:
...blew the entire thing up in one shot. Kent's son is a moron. I don't know why Father and Kent insist on making us work together. He's brash, stubborn, and doesn't know how to control his powers.
Therapeutic, and it will never cross his mind. Like a journal, and maybe what he needed.]
hero club tenet try not to give up bitch
[SHE HAS A LOT OF FEELINGS AND SHE LOVES DAMIAN SHE HAS TO WRITE SO MANY LETTERS!!!! In that ever-so-earnest way of hers, Yuna puts her hand to her heart again.]
I'm really happy! I'm going to miss seeing you, but I won't have to miss you as much if we can still talk sometimes.
