Train Station is an area that can be accessed through the stairs in Pale Park.

Features

The connection from Pale Park leads to a lobby containing shadow people. North of the lobby is a booth with a ticket salesman named Monsieur Pivoine. Minnatsuki can purchase a train ticket from him for 100 Lunas, which can be used to open the gates to the train to the left. However, there is a way to circumvent paying for a ticket by going through the path at the bottom right of the lobby. At the fork, take the door inside the spiral path to the left and continue down the stairs until you reach the train.

At the train, you can sit in any of the seats. After 25 seconds, the Train Ride event will happen in which the train will be shown moving to the left side of the screen, with a beautiful sprite of the city in the background. After pressing "Z", Minnatsuki will be shown sleeping on the seat you previously had seated on, and the BGM will also have changed. After leaving the train, you will appear at Overgrown Railway.

The other path from the bottom right of the lobby area leads to a hallway with screens showing a colorful fractal pattern, and continuing leads to an area where the tiles seem to have fallen away, revealing the same colorful fractal pattern beneath. This fractal pattern is similar to that of Julia Set fractals. Continuing across the halls leads to a manhole. Minnatsuki can climb down the manhole on a red ladder leading to a room full of exploded and exposed batteries. Interacting with the blinking electrical service panel on the wall in the center takes you to Sun Reactor.

Going right of the manhole, there are gates blocking the path to the window hallway.

If you go to the right of Monsieur Pivoine, you will enter a hallway with a window showing a town by the coast. If you leave through the right, you will be at the gates mentioned above. The lights will dim, the music will be replaced by a mechanical hum, and all of the NPCs will disappear. In this darkened state, all gates will be open, and you can encounter the Night Train.

Night Train

Per Spirit World visit, there is a 10/256 chance (or 3.9% - Variable 30 must be from 0 to 9) for the Night Train event to occur in the platform area just outside of the train. In this state, the area is completely dark, BGM is different, and the train cannot be entered. In addition to the Variable 30 requirement, this event can only be activated if the platform area of the train is reached from the path that is right and up from the ticket salesman, through the windowed hallway and past the manhole that leads to Sun Reactor.

Using Portrait Forest to discern your current Variable 30 value can be useful to greatly reduce the number of attempts. On your way to Train Station, enter Portrait Forest. If the area is dark, it indicates that your Variable 30 is somewhere between 128 and 255, meaning it is impossible to activate this event so you can immediately return to the real world. If the area is set during the day, you can proceed with the attempt.
