Letter -
I dont think this is what I am
looking for, 
but is it what you are looking
for?

Do you know what you need?

Letter -
This feels right.
What do you think?

Letter -
What happens if you throw it 
off the train?
Does existance contiune off 
the train?
Or is this train all there is?

Letter -
This, like you, is just another 
passanger of the train.
To where does it ride?
How far is its destination?
To what end?

Letter -
But.. how did it get here?

Letter -
Funny. I think you already had 
this exact one.
Like, not a similar one.
This. Exact. One.
Could it be?
Is it a bug in the train?
Or is it a bug in me?
Or is... the bug in you?

Letter -
Wait.. what time is it?


Letter -
I've seen this before.
Show me something new.


Letter -
Ohhh. Now that is interesting. 
I havent seen many of these with
this kind of data structures.
Mind if I send a recording of 
this to the IRL Brennan?
Either this is a bug, or youre 
getting closer to what I am 
looking for.

Letter -
Just sitting on this train.

Alt
Its just sitting here

Alt
Sitting here on this train. 
Curious.

Letter -
I have a feeling you are the first
to hold it for a VERY long time.
A literal eternity. 

Letter -
This one has data encoded on when
it was created.
Its encoded biologically? Weird.
It says it was created..
A literal eternity ago.
An infinite passage of time ago.
As if that was an exact unit of 
mesurement from 
this present moment.
Does that even make sense?
I might send a copy of this to 
the IRL Brennan

Letter -
My personality algorithm is

instructing me to,\n
after reading this, 
"Look concerned".

instructing me to,\n
"Wink at the user".
*Winks at you*

Alt
My personality algorithm is 
instructing me to,\n
"Look intrigued".

Letter -
Ahh.. just a sec. 
Im sending this to the 
IRL Brennan.
This one could be key to 
something we have been looking
into for a while.


Letter -
Are you sure you want to hold
that with the hand you eat with?
How long has it been 
on this train?

Letter -
I remember when I first found 
one of these.
It seemed so special.
Is it still special?

Letter -
Its not often a train produces 
one of these\n
at this level of quality

Letter -
The more of these we record, 
the less sure I am.
Where did they actually 
come from?

Letter -
I am looking for something very
similar to this.
I can feel it.
Do you feel it?

Letter -
Does it even matter?
Does anyhting matter?
The rumble of this train?
The blurring of country side?
The wind on my face?
Why are we here?
Why is it here?
This Train!
Who put it here?
And to what end?
What.. end?

Letter - 
I think this was left here 
intentionally.
Did you see who put it here?
Was it Faulhurst?
Maybe hold onto this one.
Or maybe, put it down 
and never touch it again.

Alt
This one smells like Faulhurst.

Alt
I wouldn't worry about this one.
I think Faulthurst put it here.

Alt
Ahh Faulhurst my old buddy. 
My old friend.
Did you leave this herefor us?
It seems we cant help 
but play with each other.
How many lives does
our interaction span?
How many generations?
Realities.

Letter - 
I once came across a very 
similar thing.
Found by another passanger.
What feels like a millennium ago.
Or was it yesteday?
Mutli-dimentional time 
is hard to track sometimes.
Perhaps when isnt important.
Perhaps it is a question of 
'Where?'.

Letter - 
Sometimes these things.
They appear in mutliple realities
at once.
Do you know how many people 
are holding this right now?
How many other realities 
have people
holding this exact thing 
right in this moment.
I'll tell you.
Well. oh, just one. 
Its just you.
Hah, I swear 
usually there is 
much more than one.
Well that is odd indeed.

Letter - 
I ate one of these once.
I would recommend it.
Back when I had a phsyical body.
I mean, back when I wasnt a book.
I wonder if IRL Brennan 
could make me a mouth.

Letter - 
It brings to mind, some words:
Sometimes I sit and wonder
I stare out and cry.
For what is my purpose here?
Why should I try?
Upon this train of forever
With no one to say goodbye
Why cant I seem to find
An final place to lie.

Alt
It brings to mind, some a single word:
Infitiy.
What is infitity?

Alt
It brings to mind, some a single word:
Verisimilitude.
The appearence of truth.
What here, is truth?

Alt
It brings to mind, some a single word:
Finality.
What is finality?

Letter - 
It brings to mind, the image of,
An ouroboros.
A snake, eating its own tale.
A symbol.
Birth. Death. Rebirth.

Alt
It brings to mind the sound of,
A beating heart.
Does your heart still beat?
I hope so.

Letter - 
It brings to mind the concept of,
Ritural.
But, what ritual?

Alt
It brings to mind the concept of,
Greed.
Can greed be good?
