"The dreams embraced by a single life are boundless beyond even the stars." "The dreams that we foster over time are waiting for the moment when we come upon them." "The words we exchange make our hearts tremble, and a chance meeting could change the future." "People, no matter who they are, as they pursue their dreams, have the courage to travel new paths." "As we leave behind a living testament of our journey, the Galaxy Railways on which we travel continue ever on." "Long ago, there was a war on a faraway planet." "A pitch-black train appeared, and took the dead aboard." "When there was a terrible accident on the Orion Line, and when epidemics would break out, the pitch-black train appeared, and would take aboard a large number of deceased." ""Those Who Call Themselves Eternal"" "Brother, wait!" "Brother!" "Brother, where do you think you're going!" "?" "Brother!" "Karen is no longer around." "What good will it do to do this?" "There's no way a ghost train is coming here, you know!" "It will come." "Even if it's only for just a glance, I want to see Karen again." "Jane, you go on home already!" "No way!" "If you're going to stay here, Brother, then I'm staying too!" "Suit yourself." "How could you leave your camera behind, after taking such good care of it?" "Aren't you planning on coming back?" "You said you were going to take the kinds of pictures that would give the people of the world happy memories." "Jane..." "I shouldn't have yelled at you." "But this is the only way I can see Karen." "You have to understand..." "Look at this." "The planet Meridies goes around two different suns, in a figure-8 pattern." "It is a daytime planet, without night." "However, due to its orbit, there is one night that comes, but that night only lasts for ten minutes." "The ghost train will come at that time." "It's here!" "Brother...!" "Brother, don't go!" "Brother!" "Wait!" "Brother!" "Wait!" "Brother..." "Do you know that story about the ghost train that runs on the Orion Line?" "What is it?" "It's a special train, that takes you to the spirit world." "Once you board it, it's the end for you." "You'll never come back." "In the middle of the night, a pitch-black train silently comes to a stop at the platform, and a white hand beckons you." ""Come here, come here..."" "What are you spacing off about?" "Nothing." "No way, Yuuki-kun, are you serious?" "Not really." "I just heard the story." "Even so, do you think it's okay for a member of the SDF to be talking about ghost trains?" "It's not me, I told you." "Louis, you're the one who likes those kinds of stories, aren't you?" "Me?" "No way, you must be kidding me!" "I'll just bet she likes them, all right..." "Members of Sirius Platoon, please assemble in the briefing room." "Members of Sirius Platoon, please assemble in the briefing room." "Uh-oh!" "See ya!" "I'm coming, too!" "You're late." "I'm sorry." "According to what an eyewitness said, the train in question had a pitch-black body, and double headlights." "Its model number is unknown, but it resembled Production No. 1 38, a train that was suspended during the development stage." "The missing person is Terry Goldman, age 24." "Three months ago, he got aboard this train at the abandoned Alpha Centauri platform, and disappeared." "Our mission is to search for Terry, as well as to investigate this suspicious train." "Any questions?" "What is he talking about?" "Weren't you listening?" "It's that story you just told me." "Has this unknown train appeared anywhere else?" "According to reports, the Orion Line, the Aldebaran Loop, and the Alpha Centauri Line." "Why hasn't anyone done anything for three months?" "Because night only comes once every three months there." "Apparently, the train only appears at night." "That's a ghost train, all right." "Who was the witness?" "Jane Goldman, age 1 9." "She is the sister of the missing person." "She's the only one?" "That's right." "That woman is suspicious." "What do you mean?" "He boarded a ghost train and went missing?" "I'm sure we'll find his body around there someplace, aren't you?" "You can't mean that." "You really are a patsy, huh?" "Okay then, everyone to your stations." "Dismissed!" "Roger!" "Roger!" "Yuuki..." "Don't be late." "Got that?" "I'm sorry." "Let's go, kiddo." "System check." "System check, standby." "Big One moving to launch position." "Ascent Float lock confirmed." "Gravitational barrier generator systems normal." "Energy normal." "Pressure within the boiler is rising." "Cylinder valves open." "Engage main circuits." "Engaged." "Systems all green!" "Big One, move out!" "A ghost train, huh?" "That's crazy!" "What's the matter?" "Train-sick?" "It's nothing." "Louis, could you at least put away your own dirty dishes?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "I have a habit of doing that." "Nothing..." "That's one nasty habit." "You hush up!" "This sure is an awful place, huh?" "This station was put out of use twenty years ago, and all." "According to calculations, it's five minutes and eleven seconds until the time when that train is supposed to appear." "What calculations are those?" "I took witness' story and figured the number of days that have passed, and then corrected for the orbit." "Want to put money on it?" "Not me." "How much do you think you can get out of me?" "These are all trampled, and I can't make much of them." "And it's hard to ask around on an uninhabited planet, you know?" "I wonder what that is..." "Infinity?" "Unlimited." "Eternal." "That kind of scope." "That's what my brother drew." "Jane Goldman!" "You're Terry's sister, right?" "Why did your brother get on that train?" "Well, um..." "Louis, look at this!" "Oh, no!" "It's going to collide with Big One!" "What's going on here?" "Stop her!" "It's too dangerous!" "Jane-san!" "Hold it!" "Wait!" "Yuuki!" "Louis!" "Hold up!" "Manabu!" "I- it vanished!" "H- hey there..." "Get up, would you!" "?" "You're so heavy, I can't!" "What do you mean, heavy?" "Yowch..." "Stop sticking on me!" "I can't move!" "That goes double for you!" "What is this?" "How is this a ghost train?" "Um, where is it you're heading?" "This train has no last stop." "You decide for yourself when you get off." "You can ride forever." "What about you?" "We don't want to get off." "We still want to watch the world we were in for a little while longer." "We're looking for this person." "Have you seen him?" "I'm not sure." "Perhaps he got on, perhaps he didn't." "I do not know." "Next stop, Hazama ("In-between") Station." "We will stop..." "...for 1 8 minutes and 30 seconds." "Louis, let's go check out the conductor's compartment." "Mm-hmm." "You may not come in here." "This is the conductor's compartment." "I am Yuuki Manabu, of Sirius Platoon." "What is this train's identification number?" "It has no identification number." "What about a destination?" "Our next stop is Hazama Station." "That's not what I meant." "I want to know where it is you're heading." "We have no specific destination." "What kind of train is this?" "I do not understand your question." "It's no use, Yuuki-kun." "He can't answer any questions he isn't programmed for." "Let's look for Terry, instead." "Yeah." "Karen!" "Karen!" "Karen!" "You're Karen, aren't you!" "?" "Sir, would you like some coffee?" "Sure." "You've come at last, huh?" "Karen!" "Where have you been up to now!" "?" "You fool." "Why have you come all the way to this place?" "I missed you." "No matter what, I wanted to see you once again." "Why?" "I am no longer of this world." "What good will it do to see me?" "Karen!" "Don't say that." "Why would you say such a thing?" "I haven't been able to sleep since then." "Your voice... your figure..." "they've been burned into me, and I cannot shake you off." "Okay, I'll see you later." "Mm-hmm." "Karen..." "Geez..." "Next Sunday..." "What about it?" "You're coming, right?" "Yes." "Be sure you do." "I'll be sure to come." "Karen...!" "Terry..." "There's something I wanted to tell you." "But in your condition..." "I'm here now." "Please, don't go anywhere again." "I'm sorry, Terry." "I was afraid to see you." "But if I got off, we could never see each other again." "It's okay." "I knew, Karen." "T erry-san, isn't it?" "We are members of the SDF." "There was a request made to search for you." "Are you guys alive?" "You guys are alive, right?" "Go on back!" "This train is for the deceased!" "You're alive too, and we came to take you back." "Terry-san, your sister is worried about you." "Terry?" "This is Louis Fort Drake." "We found Terry." "Captain?" "Captain Bulge?" "I'm not getting through." "This is Yuuki." "It couldn't be...!" "What's the matter?" "Time has stopped!" "Those rookies would go and act on their own!" "Let's contact the administrative office." "Put us through right away." "I need to speak with Commander Layla." "Roger." "This is about Yuuki Manabu, right?" "Yes, ma'am." "In fact, Louis is with him." "We haven't been able to contact them, nor has there been any report from them." "They are on the Eternity, which ties this world with the next." "It is a special train, which does not appear on any timetable or diagram." "There is no way to stop this train." "B- but what about Manabu and Louis?" "They acted under their own will." "Leave them to their fate." "I cannot do that." "Follow the threads of destiny." "That is all I can say." "Captain!" "I'm picking up something on the orbital radar!" "Display it on the main monitor." "Damn it, not again!" "You needn't worry." "We'll be sure to find your brother." "The signal disappeared just ahead." "Hurry to the target point." "Roger." "Say, Bruce, a thousand ables says we'll make it back safely." "What are you, stupid?" "If we don't make it back, you're out either way." "Yeah, you're right." "I see it!" "What!" "?" "Maximum output!" "Don't lose sight of them, no matter what!" "Roger." "What's wrong?" "Output is dropping." "We cannot get any closer." "Let's go, Karen." "Okay." "Where are you going?" "What station is this?" "Hazama Station." "We're getting tired of riding on the train." "What about you?" "My mother is here to pick me up." "See?" "Where's Terry?" "Where is that girl?" "What are you talking about?" "Hurry, he's leaving!" "Right." "Once you pass through here, you cannot return." "Karen, I won't leave you again." "I'll be with you forever." "I'm so happy." "You can't go!" "Hold on!" "What are you here for!" "?" "If you go through that gate, you'll die, you know!" "You won't ever be able to come back!" "Why are you going to throw your life away?" "You're alive, aren't you?" "What about the sister you're leaving behind?" "Tell Jane that her brother is dead." "How selfish of you!" "How could you understand?" "Don't take my Terry!" "Ow!" "Let go!" "This is the world of the dead." "If I keep holding onto you, you will die!" "Stop!" "Go on, and stay out of our way!" "Why, you...!" "Yuuki!" "What are you doing, Yuuki!" "?" "Brother!" "Don't go!" "Brother, you have a dream, don't you?" "You said you wanted to take pictures that would make everyone happy!" "What about that dream?" "Don't you need me or Mom any more?" "I have to go now." "Goodbye, Jane." "Brother!" "Forget all about your brother now." "No!" "Please!" "Karen, don't take my brother!" "So cold..." "You're going to hold my brother in hands this cold?" "Is that how much you love my brother?" "Karen!" "Thank you." "K" " Karen..." "It's okay." "Terry, thank you for coming this far." "That alone has been enough." "Karen..." "Don't make that sad face." "Smile, Terry." "Karen!" "I will be happy, because of the memories you've brought me." "Don't go!" "Goodbye, Terry." "I wish you happiness." "Karen!" "Beneath the wheels of destiny, people love, hate, and then finally leave." "There is nobody who knows where they go." "Only those travelers who call themselves eternal know that parting is just another form of love." "Yuuki-san, Louis-san, afterward, my brother went on a trip." "However, every time I get mail from him," "I can tell that little by little, he is recovering." "Thank you for stopping my brother back then." "Please give my thanks to the other members of Sirius Platoon." "Say, Louis, what is destiny, anyhow?" "I don't know about that." "But those two are happy." "Isn't that good enough by itself?" "Uh-huh..." "How many nights have I spent alone since then?" "Constantly having dreams of the hope that you are, as I lightly sleep." "The smiles and tears that you gave to me and me alone come to mind every time I get disheartened, and I set forth again toward the morrow." "The joyful light of the galaxy beckons me to that beloved person within my heart." "No matter how far apart we are, my memories will never fade." "My heart wishes always to be at your side."
