 > **March 7th:** Yeah! Count me in too!
+{{ :external:amphoreus:danhengpt-chrysos12-5.jpg?200|}}
+Thanks to Mr Screwllum's help, I made it back to the Express, albeit in "spirit warp jump" form.
+Come to think of it, this might be my longest trailblazing expedition since boarding the Astral Express. <del>It's been so long that just hearing everyone's voices again makes me...</del>
+Never before have I seen such weariness on Miss Himeko's face, even though for the Express, we were only gone for a few short days.
+Sorry for worrying you all. Please allow me some more time. Next time, I'll do everything in my power to bring our crew together, leaving no one behind.
+> **Himeko:** Go for it, Dan Heng. Just remember, you don't always have to bear the weight alone. We're here with you.
+> **Trailblazer:** Don't tell me Dan Heng got all teary-eyed on us?
+> **March 7th:** Shh... look, he crossed it out already. Let's not expose him...
+> **Dan Heng:** If anyone cried their eyes swollen, it definitely wasn't me. Right, March?
+I measured the vastness of the world with my own two feet, trying to chase and recognize you through the pulse of rivers.
+I bore the sprinting of the deer, their hooves thundering like heartbeats in my chest. I bore the burden of snow, my spine holding up the mountain peaks and the hawks' azure sky.
+I became an ancient tree standing tall, a stone in deep waters, using mountain ranges as guides and flowing streams as messengers, searching for you.
+I no longer merely walk upon the earth. I gradually learned to feel as the earth does, until I became the earth itself.
+To search for someone lost in the memoria tide, all I could cling to were our shared memories. They kept surfacing in my mind, constantly reminding me of my original resolve when I first departed, and ultimately guided me to where you are.
+That thousand-year journey was but a fleeting moment beyond the memoria tide. Yet the ordeal of it, the grinding down of will and spirit, was almost unbearable. But I can no longer afford to dwell on that.
+> **Trailblazer:** Waaah! Dan Heng, waaah, waaah, waaah!

+==== Three Things Dan Heng Must Protect ====
+{{ :external:amphoreus:danhengpt-chrysos12-6.jpg?200|}}
+> His ever-growing self, all beings that hail from the cosmos and its planets, and the companions trailblazing by his side.
+"Today at the market, I saw chimeras playing with redsoil, which got them endlessly chased by a dromas cub. Though it's just an ordinary scene of local life, it somehow feels strangely familiar and dear... I'll jot this down and upload it into the data bank when we get back to the Express."
+"Looking deeper, I learned these three chimeras were notorious redsoil thieves from the outside, frequently blending in with the local working chimeras to steal redsoil for their own amusement.
+The quirky Gummy Roll distracts the dromas, the hat-wearing Gray-mera snatches the clay, while the quiet Toasty Dragon keeps watch.
+The three of them worked in perfect sync, scoring hit after hit, while the poor dromas cubs were having an absolutely miserable time...
+... to the point where they became the first chimeras to have wanted posters in Amphoreus."
+> **Dan Heng:** No mischief allowed... Which one of you three is the ringleader?
+> **Chimera:** Ah, forget it, forget it... life's tough enough for all of us.

+**The Unbreakable Trio (3)**
+> (Yesterday 23:40)
+> **Trailblazer:** That nymph is so loud, I swear I'm gonna bash it! [baseball bat emoji]
+> (00:15)
+> **Trailblazer:** The nymph is gone, but I'm wide awake now.
+> **Trailblazer:** Do Amphoreans count Golden Scapegoats when they can't sleep? Do chimeras dream of sheep-meras?
+> **Trailblazer:** Dan Heng, do you know how many dromases in Okhema know Anaxa?
+> **Trailblazer:** March, don't you think Dan Heng's new ability is super handy?
+> **Trailblazer:** ... You guys asleep? Fine.
+> (00:30)
+> **Dan Heng:** Not yet. 1. Can't rule out that possibility. 2. Yes. 3. Still tallying.
+> (00:32)
+> **Trailblazer:** You're still up and went to check!? Thanks, Dan Heng! [thumbs up emoji] But... were your interviewees awake too?
+> (00:35)
+> **Dan Heng:** There is no need to wake them up to understand all these. As for question one, it involves the citizens' privacy, so it's not appropriate to investigate.
+> (00:36)
+> **Trailblazer:** I'll come find you then! I have loads more questions to ask!
+> (03:25)
+> **Dan Heng:** Remember to pull up your blanket when you go back. That nymph came flying to tell me it wanted to warn you earlier tonight that you would get sick if you didn't use a blanket.
+> (03:25)
+> **Trailblazer:** ?
+> (09:05)
+> **March 7th:** Wait, you mean you were both up all night researching this stuff??

+> **Looking for an unnamed plumber!**
+Yesterday, the bath's water pipe got clogged, but luckily this plumber was passing by. With just a wave of his hand, clear water came gushing out, along with the seal balloon that was stuck in there!\\
+I hope the plumber sees this and comes to the baths to contact me! Generous reward prepared as gratitude!

+> **The redsoil incident perpetrator chimeras have been apprehended!**
+With the help of an enthusiastic, horned citizen, we have successfully apprehended three chimeras involved in the incident and given them a stern lecture through the citizen's interpretation.\\
+The facility is now reopened for visits. Feel free to come by and feed the dromases!

+"Do you need an umbrella?" Last night, a citizen reported encountering an "Umbrella Spirit" in the heavy rain that vanished and reappeared, looking oddly cute. When soldiers arrived at the scene, they discovered the "Umbrella Spirit" was actually a kind-hearted girl in black clothes giving out umbrellas to people caught in the rain.

+Recently, a new trainer at the facility, Little Gray (pseudonym), took the initiative to recruit idle chimeras. After months of practice, the chimeras have mastered sorting, hauling, and loading skills, greatly improving their employment prospects. A fresh catchphrase is making the rounds: "Even chimeras are better than you!"
