[ A simulation? The word doesn't mean much to Ardbert, yet he takes Fukawa's explanation into consideration. The basic idea seems to be that their surroundings aren't real, even if they themselves are, and that it's only their consciousnesses that exist here. It would explain how he's miraculously come into a new body against all reason, though the fact that this place could fabricate things like hunger, pain, and tiredness beggars belief. ]

Some sort of sense, yes. I have no way to prove that's not the case, so you may be on to something. This train is also called the Existential Express, isn't it? That may be a clue as well.

[ There are quite a lot of similarities that Fukawa cites, however. It's enough to make Ardbert suspicious, and when she brings up the numbers he can't hold back on a sigh. ]

Yes, I don't suppose anyone has sorted out what those mean? It's all rather cryptic thus far.

[ He also can't quite shake the idea that it's only a matter of time before the truth of this train comes to light in a most unpleasant fashion. ]
