Summary
"Do you not put things in alphabetical order?" Sunday asks weakly, watching as March tears open a box and leaves it at her feet on the floor. His wings twitch anxiously. "Wouldn't that make it easier to find?"
"Oh, Sunday," March laughs, reaching out to swat his arm playfully. "Around here, we just remember where things are. There's no need for any complex systems at all."
"It might be a good idea," Himeko muses, pinching her chin thoughtfully as she gazes up at the shelves. "Well… we've already started. Nobody's ever had a problem with it before, anyway."
Sunday bites the inside of his cheek and swallows blood.
After destroying his own life and leaving everything behind to travel with the Astral Express, Sunday finds himself slipping into old habits.

Summary
Sunday's eyes are fixed on the piano. He can't explain why, but something about it is captivating.
It's been a very long time since Sunday's played piano.
"Uh, Passenger Sunday?" the Conductor repeats, and Sunday blinks, stiffening as he glances down to meet their eyes, widened slightly in expectation.
"I - sorry," he stammers, clasping his hands together before him in an effort to keep him from tugging his feathers. "I was just - I didn't know there was a piano aboard the Express."
Pom-Pom glances back at it, a small sigh leaving their lips. "Ah, yes," they say, shaking their head. "That old thing... it belonged to Akivili, many years ago."
They say this in the same tone one might say we found it on the side of the road amongst the trash and not this instrument belonged to the long-dead Aeon of the Trailblaze.
The crew of the Astral Express, as Sunday quickly learns, love music.
Or: five times Sunday played piano for a Nameless, and once he played for someone else.
