Chapter Text
Emmet clicks his pocketwatch again.
It just happened! That’s not your fault, that’s not anyone’s fault.
He stares silently at the security footage on his tablet. The same way he’s been staring at it for the last hour.
Even if it was, you would still be my brother. I would never hate you. Not now, not ever. And that’s the Truth.
Emmet Tamadensha rewinds the footage of the Axew train line.
He watches Single Train 001 disappear between Icirrus and Opelucid.
He watches his brother step on a train at Gear Station and never come back.
He clicks his pocketwatch, rewinds the footage one last time, and watches his two-car train disappear.
You’re my two car train, whispers a promise eighteen years long, and I will never let you go.
Subway Boss Tamadensha makes a phone call.
“Nimbasa City police?” Emmet hears himself say- distantly, like from down a far-away tunnel. “I need to file a missing person report.”
