So, you're dead. Shame, that.
But on the other hand, it's actually kind of nice.
When you "wake" in some odd version of it, you'll find yourself lying on a rather plush bed. It's cozy and warm and just soft enough to tempt anyone back into sleep. The room is equally nice, if small, and when you turn and open the curtains to look out the window, you will see... wait, is that the town?
It is, actually. The town is laid out quite simply across the window and no matter how many times you may bang or wave through the window, no one seems to notice you. If you're smart enough to give up the venture and leave the small bedroom, you will notice that, of course, you are on the train.
The train that, is actually pretty fancy.
Moving through it, past the sleeping cabins and through to the main carts, you will find a dining car with fine dishware and meals of all kinds made at a push of a button or a request given to the air. They'll appear, freshly made and ready to eat at the table of your choice with any drink you could want. There truly doesn't seem to be any limits when it comes to the luxury of the meal.
There is also a bathhouse car with private bathrooms and saunas to fit up to four. Even one rather large room containing a small pool/hot tub of sorts is available for just about anyone to take a dip. It's kind of outlandish, honestly.
Then the lounge car, with its library and plush armchairs and couches. A pool table, a darts board, even a small area dedicated to painting. There's a bar too, fully stocked and ready for anyone who needs a drink. All it would require is a request from the bartender who... looks surprisingly familiar?
The Sheriff is there, much cleaner cut than his counterpart outside of the train. He looks up mildly at any arrivals, giving them a nod of greeting before going back to organizing bottles or setting cigars out for a smoke. He doesn't seem to be surprised at all by anyone who appears. Just... ready to serve them, whatever they may wish.
It all sort of seems okay for a moment, until you realize you're just here to wait for the game to end. Awkward. |

SHINNOSUKE
Shinnosuke-kun,
Thank you for writing a letter for me! I was really happy when I got it, and I'm glad I get to write you a letter back! It's tougher not being there all the time, but that doesn't mean I'm gone, either. Even if it's something small, you've got to hold onto the things that made you a little happier. Something like feeling safe, being glad you weren't alone, or laughing about something you teased me over, however small, is still worth keeping and protecting. It's still a time where all the bad stuff in this place wasn't strong enough to keep you down, and if you hold those bright moments we got to have together in your heart, then I'm still with you, even from all the way over here. It goes both ways! Despite what happened, I can think about all those times you told me to stay positive and work hard, and I can read that you told me to be a hero from the great beyond, and I'm happy! Besides getting to write, that's the best way for me to be able to stay by your side still, and since you're really important to me, I'd still really like to, so please let me.
Did you get your bookmark? You'll have to be a little careful with it, but I made sure it was sturdy enough that you'd still be able to feel the flowers. Plus, there's a secret message on it just for you! I know someone has to be reading this letter to you (hi, letter reader!), but you should be able to find the message all on your own. I won't write it here, but pretend I did, because I want to say it again!
Hero Club tenet: if you're troubled, talk to someone! Even if you tell me not to worry, I can't really help it, because I want you to be safe and well here. I know we're going to see each other again, though, so I won't worry too badly. In the meantime, I'll do my best to keep helping, even from here!
Do your best! Take care of yourself!
Love,
Yuna
