The Train to STE Meme (SPOILERS for canon deaths)

You know those Train to the Afterlife memes? In STE the canon versions of all our characters are dead. What if there was a train bearing their spirits on to reincarnation here?

This is a meme where canon versions of the characters can interact. They all know they're dead. They may or may not remember just how they died, or how they got to be on this particular train. Doesn't matter if they'll be born decades apart - that just means some people disembark a little earlier than others. Go over brochures about what your new incarnation will be like, spontaneously turn or be human, try the snack cart, fail to convince the friendly but very busy conductor to give you a transfer, or simply chat.

You just can't stop the train, or leave it. Not yet.

A young blonde girl slept on the train. She looked in the prime of health, and it wasn't entirely clear why she was even dead. It wasn't until someone sat next to her or otherwise woke her up and saw her eyes that the could feel the huge gulf of years within her. Despite her appearance, this was no child. Just how many centuries she had lived was anyone's guess.

She yawned deeply after being woken up, sat up politely and looked around.

"Oh."

"Yes, oh." The one who sat down next to her was Reimu. She was far more patient in waiting for the witch to wake up than she would've been in her youth, though right now she looked just as young as Marisa looked. Though just like Marisa one could see from her eyes that she was actually much older, if not quite as old. She'd been at least 80 when she'd died after all.

"It's been a long time, hasn't it? At least for you." Another indication that this is the much older Reimu who'd died peacefully of old age the last time the two old friends saw each other rather than a much younger one was the small smile she gave her.

"Okay hold on. It'll come to me."

She blinked, thinking back.

"You're the....second? No, the first Shrine Maiden I knew. Reimu!"

A younger Reimu would've been annoyed by the fact that it took a moment for Marisa to remember her, but this Reimu just laughed. It had to have been centuries since then after all. "Yes, that's me alright. Took you long enough."

"Well I certainly hope you haven't been here all these years. That would be a bit low key even for you."

"I don't believe so." Reimu looked thoughtful. "It only feels like I've been in this place for a few hours. Perhaps time moves differently here."

She smiled. "What a relief. It's also good to know there are still mysteries even after all this time."
