  You’re pretty sure Hermes is single, right?

  211 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 17/04/04 01:35

  I was wondering what the deal was when she sent a rare early morning e-mail.

  ‘Perv copped a feel on train,’ it read.

  She sounded really depressed so I tried my best to cheer her up via e-mail.

  Then

  ‘Had I been there, it would never have happened’

  ‘But I can’t expect that from you’

  ‘Shall I take the train with you? Commute together?’

  And we tried to work out how to coordinate timing and train stations but it doesn’t look possible. Too complicated.

  Truth is . . . it’d be impossible for me to dress right every day . . .

  You’ve really found a self-assurance that wasn’t there before.

  I don’t see the Train Man who couldn’t decide whether or not to call Hermes.

  You jumped over our heads and took a giant leap forward didn’t ya.

  Makes me kinda sad but I’m happy for you.

  I guess Train always had the courage.

  He just needed the right opportunity.

  Haven’t heard directly from her mouth that she is indeed ‘single’ ..

  There’s a scene in Matrix 2 where Neo kisses another woman in front of Trinity and apparently, that scene gave her a bit of a shock. We talked about romantic relationships and such after we discussed that scene.

  By the way, she said that if she’d been Trinity, she would have died from shock. And me, I said ‘I don’t know because I have no experience’ → ‘You’re joking’ was how it went, basically.

  243 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 17/04/04 01:49

  Why don’t you just ask her whether she has a boyfriend or not?

  Say something like ‘I thought it would be wrong of me to keep asking you out to dinner if you had a boyfriend’

  256 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 17/04/04 01:57

  I guess you’re not gonna be telling her how you feel for a while, which means we’re in for a long battle-! But it looks to me when I hear what Hermes is saying, that she knows how Train feels and that she’s struggling to come to terms with it.

  If you tell her now, she may say ‘let me think about it’ . . . at least that’s how it looks to me.

  258 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 17/04/04 01:58

  Thanks again for all your encouragement.

  I will fire myself up for tomorrow.

  Honestly, Mr Tren doesn’t need our help anymore.

  We’re gonna fall victim to Tren’s anti-depression bombs and get depressed ourselves as we retreat back into our gloomy thread.

  It could be that we’re finally returning to our true states.

  291 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 17/04/04 08:45

  . . . blessed us with a visit after some shut-eye Mr Tren, eh . . .

  First let me just charge straight into this commuting together bit tho it may get long . . . can’t you try . . . even if it’s difficult for you . . . to commute with her? You don’t have to worry too much about your work clothes. All you have to wear is a basic suit, no? If you don’t own a lot of suits, just get 7 or so shirts and that way even if you don’t do laundry every day, you’ll have enough to wear something different every day

  I think that even if it is a bit on the difficult side, you should step up as a man and be her knight in shining armour. These perverts on the train tend to really terrify women and you can’t escape the fact that you’ve been knighted as the Train Man already. If saving her from a drunk was the reason you met, then why not step up to the task for real!

  And as far as boyfriends are concerned, if the conversation went this way it must mean she doesn’t have one. Besides, if she had a boyfriend, she would never complain about not having anybody to go restaurant-hopping with. She’d also be asking her boyfriend to protect her from the train perverts, no?

  Train, this is your chance!

  You can see Hermes every day!

  If you do, then you can get to know her better and better!

  You figured out last week that you can basically talk about ‘anything’, no?

  Well, I’m sure the story is that Train has to get to work earlier than Hermes but . . . I think you should attempt the first two days of the week by asking your work whether you can come in a bit late on those days.

  If you do end up commuting together, I think you will score extra points.

  Mr Tren, this is the way to go (plant your flag dude).

  294 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 17/04/04 10:49

  Just woke up. And just made a reservation at the hair salon.

  I plan on talking to her about commuting together The problem is that the station she gets off at and my station are on different lines, not to mention the fact that they’re far apart, so if I were to ride all the way with her then I would definitely be late for work. Bottom line is that if we’re gonna do this, then we’re both gonna have to get up early.

  Plus, if we go early then we would be missing rush hour traffic . . .

  296 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 17/04/04 10:53

  By the way, what are your plans for today.

  Whatever you feel comfortable sharing, pls.

  423 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 17/04/04 23:55

  Train will definitely go online to send Hermes an e-mail once he gets home and it’s only natural that he’ll post a quick note to us . . . therefore, I am assuming that he hasn’t gotten home yet.

  448 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 18/04/04 00:14

  I think their 2nd location tonight is a romantic bar atop a fancy hotel.

  Just as Train gets ready to leave so they can catch the last train, Hermes flashes a hotel room key . . .

  Unfortunately, there’s no sign of Train showing up. But just as one by one people start giving up, Train Man returns. He returned with a secret stash of firepower.

  476 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 18/04/04 00:42

  I’m back.

  Though we were meeting in the evening, since my reservation at the hair salon was on the early side, I left way early.

  When I got to the salon, the same hairdresser did my hair

  She asked ‘Do you have a date today?’

  So I said, rather cool, ‘yeah, kinda.’

  Since I had a lot of time to kill, I went to Akihabara, to check out some electronics. Not that I can afford to buy anything anymore . . .

  When one of the PR girls said to me ‘you don’t look like the Akihabara type’ I was stunned. (`·ω·´)

  After killing some time I headed for our meeting place and got there 15 minutes early but she was already there. I quickly ran over to her.

  this is how we are with only a warning shot . . . . . .

  This time, Train Man aims his gun directly at the Geeks, who are fretting over the false alarm.

  616 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 18/04/04 01:15

  ‘Hello.’

  ‘Whoa, you’re early today’

  We say hello casually. She tells me that since she had always been late she did her best to be early today. She was wearing a very light, spring outfit.

  She was wearing trousers, well, jeans, I guess, which was unusual.

  Her legs were so skinny that I wanted to ask if she was eating right.

  She had a cute short-sleeved shirt on. Her arms were so white and thin too (ohyeah)

  What can I say . . . the light fabric is . . . really makes a guy smile . . .

  We immediately started to walk towards the restaurant.

  Again, the street was overflowing with people on either side of us and we parted the crowds. I had my head turned slightly to look behind me.

  ‘Crowded again today, isn’t it,’ she mumbled.

  ‘It’ll be ok because I’ll hold on tightly to you,’ I said, half-jokingly as I grabbed her wrist.

  She laughed, looking down at the wrist I grabbed.

  ‘Make sure you follow me to the restaurant’ I said, heading towards it.

  Her wrists were so thin

  Amazing how Train’s words, one by one enter the sticky-messy place in my heart and then explode.

  What precision. Only with a new weapon is this possible.

  One by one the Geeks take flak yet Train Man continues to pull the trigger.

  695 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 18/04/04 01:26

  I kept holding on to her wrist.

  Just as we were waiting for the light, she pushed away my hand then grabbed the palm of my hand.

  ‘This feels much better,’ she smiled at me. I was so shocked and have no clue how I looked at that moment.
