 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.

Yes, you got me. That's what I get my kicks off of, and I was so sad that I was blind when you two did it in the middle of a trial. Surprise!

Too bad you missed the show the first time. Pretty sure there's not going to be an encore, though.

Might as well get used to it now, anyway.

[noct is entirely too nice, probably. but he doesn't like the idea of ash going back to his own world to be totally dead, for some reason.]

No wonder you and Milla get along. You're both a bunch of goody-two-shoes.

It's got nothing to do with that.
