in cute astral express au, robin has been a part of the crew at least as long as dan heng. she receives a combat education so small skill upset (but same ult I think). of course she has her own room aboard the express and sunday is... out there. doing whatever it is he does as a part of the Family. the key difference is robin had and took the opportunity to escape. and caelus has the chance to really get to know her.
the memshare is a collection of snapshots along the timeline as caelus experienced it. belobog followed by the luofu. it cuts short before penacony, as if unprepared to reconcile who 'died' in robin's stead.
however, the final flash of memory is innocuous. they're on the express, within the main car where they may entertain guests and access the omni-synthesizer. robin and himeko are chatting about their next destination. caelus is trying to convince pom-pom that he will definitely remember to bring back souvenirs this time.
caelus blinks many times as he takes a seat in a teacup back in the graveyard. ]
[ she takes in this new life with a small breath. it's a sweet dream to travel among the stars with a trailblazer's heart. it's much different to her touring star systems.
the train is not a cage, but it is still robin leaving sunday behind and alone to follow a path.
as the memories fade, she closes her eyes. ]
It's a sweet dream.
[ she doesn't know if that'd change anything for sunday even if it did change things for her. ]
Your family is so warm. I knew it before, but I know it more now.
anyway, that is a sweet alternate take, isn't it? who knows. maybe in time sunday would have also fallen to the astral express' charms. but it isn't how anything actually went. it's a funny fantasy.
caelus needs a moment to shake it off.
the feeling he's left with is conflicted. ]
... I wonder if they'll recognize me if we see each other again.
[ he doesn't mean the eye scars. caelus' overall look hasn't updated much. ]
[ well. gazes at the new leaks that just dropped today
anyway, fantasy or reality, robin doesn't think it's wrong to think of what ifs or to remember the past or different scenarios as long as it doesn't make you stop. and even if you do stop, you are still human, and there are people who can help you.
she smiles softly. ]
Of course they will. It's the heart that makes you family, and at your core, you're still recognizable.

[ naturally caelus' true heart lies with anything similar to bumper cars, but he needs a hand to hold the cotton candy. a true gentleman. ]
Those seem like a good time.
[ do you want an unhinged au or a cute astral express au memshare ara ]
no subject
she nods and walks the way to the cups after taking a piece of the cotton candy. have to respect when someone's being a gentleman. ]
I think they have an appeal. It's not quite like Bubble Pinball, but it has a similar energy to it.
[ but instead of traveling anywhere, you just spin a lot in place. ]
