Chapter 97: Memories Return

Duet pulls up to the platform, passes it. Parks. I climb out, the dog at my side, puppies happily wriggling their way to the ground with Poppy beside them even as Duet hops down and turns. We stand there, watch the train hiss to a halt next to the concrete walk.

Chime jumps down, looks around. It's not as I remember Penn Station, this dark and dank terminal. The original building is long gone, the beautiful architecture destroyed in favor of the sports stadium now resting above us. But in my time, for I know now it's time that's changed, they've done more to restore the history of this place.

I step forward, catch the edge of the platform, heave myself up to Chime's level, only to turn and catch Poppy as Duet gives her a boost. Two puppies, a dog and my sister later and we're all standing outside the train, paused and waiting as if something should be happening.
