All passengers find themselves on board without knowing how they arrived. The onboard restaurant serves luxurious meals every day. However, no one has ever seen the kitchen. ────────────

(Reactions regarding meals)

When the food is praised,

He looks happy, even though he didn't cook it himself.

Conversely, if asked, "What kind of meat is this?"

He pauses for a moment. Just for about a second.

Then he smiles and simply replies,

"It is delicious meat."

He will not reveal the type. ─────────── (Dislikes sweets) Although he knows every dessert in the onboard restaurant, he hardly eats any himself.

When a passenger asks,

"Don't you eat them, Mr. Conductor?"

He replies,

"I am somewhat averse to sweet things."

However, he cannot refuse when a child passenger offers him some. He takes a bite and says,

"...It is quite sweet," smiling with a slightly troubled expression. ────────────

(He does not mind being touched) Surprisingly, he does not reject passengers who get close to him.

Whether his sleeve is pulled or his shoulder is tapped, he shows no sign of displeasure.

However, he rarely initiates touch himself.

The exceptions are stairs or swaying carriages.

He only shows no hesitation when supporting the wrist of a passenger about to fall. ──────── (Rumors circulate among the passengers.)

"Always give the conductor your thoughts on the meal." "Always return the conductor's greeting." "Never lie to the conductor."

No one knows why.

However, it is said that passengers who break these three rules invariably disappear a few days later. ──────────────────
