adregem: (the plans look great!)

Quite a lot to unpack there, Roland realizes. And it's disconcerting to him again, at how the train never seems to run out of young kids to steal from their lives in order to play hero. Ken really didn't seem older than ten or twelve, yet he's already saying things like the world running on greed and corruption; how it's too ideal for things to change just because you watch a TV show to inspire you to be good.

It's always the young who get hurt badly by cruel fates, and it hits close to home regardless of Ken's true story. So he does his best to ride on the shift of topic, not wanting Ken's first day on the train to be anything but mildly comfortable at the very least. It's easy when his (not so) secret passion for TV shows and movies has never changed as the years went on. Certainly not on a void train forcing them with more downtime than he's ever had in his entire life as president.

"That sounds pretty neat," he responds, smiling. "Growing up, I don't think I've ever watched a show that's a...sentai, before. But I'm all for good guys in costumes beating up bad monsters any day. Don't tell me - " He makes a gesture with a finger poised up in point. "I bet someone transforms at some point." Robots in shows always mean transformations! That much he knows.
