"I still wouldn't call it a prison..!!" Yikes! He just.
He breathes. "...I don't know what new world there is. ...I killed Pucci, but when he moved time, he started the world over...and he was able to keep you and the others from coming back in it. Maybe...maybe in the world that happened without Pucci, I have a body still, but even before I knew about Tethers... ...I knew that no one was there. ...Everyone I knew, they would be gone. So I asked the train if I could stay- somewhere I could meet new people, help people, and see new things. But there's a 'ministry' for the Void that was chasing us, and they finally contacted us to talk about the 'tethers'..."
...and. Well. "...Normally, a tether has three points- body, to soul, to craft. The train creates the bodies we have here, and keeps the real ones healthy through that connection. This way, we can travel through the void, and if anything happens...even death, it can bring us back. But if the train is destroyed, that means we go with it. That's why the train never stays on planet during missions; if it isn't safe, neither are we. But that's a three point tether. For anyone without a body..."
Emporio lowers one of the three fingers he was holding as he explained. "...There are only two points. Your soul, and the craft. There's nothing to go back to, and the connection is more unstable. The ministry offered to help with these, but..." Hm. "...Even if I trust some people from it...I don't know how much I trust them, not right now. I want to make sure things are safe...but it's hard to trust a government that easily. Especially one that took so long to understand why the train was running from it."
