...Do you think the train knows more than it lets us on?
[ There's a fairly heavy pause on Roland's end before he answers, thoughts weighing deep enough to warrant second-guessing. But his interest is still there, still hot on the trail wherever it might lead them. ]
About the truth, I mean. That's why it talks to its passengers the way that it does. Why none of us can get outright answers, no matter how many times we ask. [ Conjectures, but Roland finds it intriguing, regardless. ] What are the chances that the train knows who might be behind the dark cloud that destroyed them before? The ministry? Or, some other power associated with their old bosses? It could run that deep.
[ And he loathes to admit this sounds like conspiracy, but honestly at this point, if they get nothing else from their captors, what else could Roland think? ]
Might even be the previous Voidtrecker's expedition that started this whole mess to begin with. That's why they're so sure they can't be found by the authorities. Trying to right their wrongs before the ministry catches up.
