Summary
In the Holy Roman Empire, superstitious peasants returned to their huts as the sun went down, fearing the arrival of the ‘Glühendekette’, or ‘the glowing chain’.
For centuries, people in Japan told stories of ‘Dansei no teikā,’ or ‘the taker of men.’
Puritan colonists in the 17th century whispered prayers to ward off ‘the iron serpent.’Since the beginning of mankind, the infinity train has existed in some indeterminate place, forever racing along rails that lead to nowhere, taking people and setting them loose in worlds akin to dreams and nightmares.
An anthology of one-shots featuring passengers from all across human history at different points on their journeys. No matter when they were from, who they were, what status they had, and what nation they hailed from, they all wore the same grey uniforms.

Summary
When they’re still long enough, Min can decipher that their features are accentuated with some sort of orange makeup, corresponding with their clothing. It’s some sort of stripe from the forehead to the chin, and even without prior knowledge of skating culture, Min considers it a bold style to one’s aesthetic.
They skate like they invented the stuff. Like the world owes them this dance. They’re choreographed, every action hand-picked; when they jump, arms knitted at their torso, spinning, spinning…. It’s an artist comfortable in their craft.
or: ryan is an ice skater. min is Some Guy. can i make it any more obvious

Summary
In 2001, four high school freshmen disappeared at inexplicably on a field trip. The case ran cold within months, and their disappearance was eventually declared a freak accident. Ryan Akagi and Min-Gi Park, the two high school seniors who were chaperones looking after the group, stayed out of the public eye after the incident. No one has heard much from any of them since.
Two years later, Grace Monroe comes across a strange notebook in the woods outside of town. After digging further, she learns of a mysterious “numbers train” and all sorts of inhabitants that live there in the train cars along with the passengers that travel within them.
When the notebook ties this train back to an incident where four kids disappeared in the woods two years ago, she, her friend Simon Laurent, and a strange new companion decide to turn the heat up on an old case. Before they can go any further, they'll need to talk to some old friends of theirs to put the pieces together and find that train again.
