[That was...not what she had expected. Feeling unnerved, Masumi switches gears from what she had been intending to ask, to poke at something related to that question.]

How do you decide when people here get to leave at the platforms?

[That’s really not helpful when it comes to figuring out why some people get to leave and where they go. Masumi is tempted to prod further, but there’s one question that’s lingering at the front of her mind, and she hesitates before asking, as if worried what kind of answer she’ll get.]

I know you said that you don’t know what happens once people leave, so you might not be able to answer this, but ...is my family okay?

[There’s a hint of desperation in her voice, as this is something she Needs to know.]

[And she didn’t get any real confirmation on her family. Realistically, Masumi knew that this was a likely situation since the train didn’t know what happened to the people who had left, but it still hurt to not know for sure.

Even so, she did technically get answers, if not the ones she wanted, so she remains polite as she finishes up and prepares to move away from the ICP.]
