Several hours later…

After a long day at Corasme, you find yourself back at the train station, where everyone has gathered and are now chatting amongst themselves. From what it seems, only you received the strange message, and you wonder what you should do about it. You've shown it to a few people in your group, but they dismissed it as nonsensical gibberish and advised you to do the same. There's little sense in the message, after all, and it's probably just a prank, according to those you've consulted, and you're about ready to agree with them.

Still, you take out your phone and read it one last time. An announcement rings out, stating that the train is about to arrive, and you glance up at everyone before you tell them…

…that there's somewhere I have to go.

You give everyone a random place that just pops into your mind, and they stare at you for a moment. Balogh sighs and says, "Well, it's great that you've had plenty of fun today, but shouldn't you at least remember that you have work tomorrow? We've got plenty of things to do tomorrow, and we don't want anyone to be lagging behind in their duties." You try to protest but realize he's right. There really isn't much else to do, and so you tell him that you should just get back home.

Balogh nods absently and says, "Isn't that why we're here?" You nod as well and wait for the train to arrive. It doesn't take long before the train arrives, and you board it with your teammates. By now, everyone seems quite relaxed, with the recent troubles put out of their minds. You take a seat and look out the window.
