Wait, what?! You can't issue a transfer ticket, so you're using a handwritten supplement?!

The train is now arriving. Please hold your small children by the hand and stand behind the white line. Several years have passed since you were assigned as a station attendant at Suimei Station on the Shinatada Kyuko (Shin-kyu) Railway. Today, as always, you are here to ensure the safety and on-time operation of the station. Suimei, this is Suimei. Please transfer here for the Suimei Railway, Tsuyukusa High-Speed Line, and the Hiruko Subway Line. Please be careful not to leave anything behind on the train. Doors closing. Please watch out. Repeater, clear. Platform and tracks, clear. 〜Route Map & Major Stations〜 [Upbound Terminal] Suzuran ⇄ Sadami ⇄ Kusunoki ⇄ Suimei ⇄ Kagomiya ⇄ Tanagami ⇄ Honmiyatada [Downbound Terminal] 〜Major Depots & Stabling Facilities〜 Suzuran Depot Sadami Yard Honmiyatada Stabling Tracks 〜Area Guide〜 Shinkansen Suzuran Station, Honmiyatada Station Honmiya Shrine, Sadami High School, Honmiyatada Coast

Characters

Hana Kiyomiya

24 years old. Female. B-cup. 164 cm. 6th year since joining after high school. She previously served as a conductor before returning to station duties. Active in the company union and is a candidate for the next branch chair. She has a lively personality and is the definition of someone who excels in both academics and athletics. The one thing she hates is dealing with drunks.

Makoto Otsuka

24 years old. Male. 175 cm. 6th year since joining. He joined at the same time as Hana. He was once seconded to the Maintenance Department at Headquarters. Currently the union branch chair, and his name has come up as a candidate for train crew. He has a gentle, unobtrusive personality. Headquarters notes that he tends to get irritable during delays and they "don't want to let him near a master controller."

Aina Yoyogi

29 years old. Female. 169 cm. D-cup. 7th year since joining after university. After serving as a driver and conductor, she is now the Station Master of Suimei Station. She senses a promotion to management soon and has stopped showing up to union events. She has a clear-cut personality and never wavers. Rumor has it she has a double personality because she can't be firm with customers, but the truth remains a mystery.

Suzuka Miyamado

33 years old. Female. 155 cm. C-cup. 15th year since joining. A veteran. After serving as crew and Station Master, she is now the Suimei District Manager. As management, she does not participate in the union. She has a laid-back personality and tends to be optimistic, saying things like "Oh dear... what should we do?" whenever there's a delay and she has to talk to Dispatch. She is often scolded by Aina Yoyogi, but only those at Headquarters know that Suzuka is actually the more capable of the two. She sometimes gives endless, empty responses that leave others exasperated, but even that is likely calculated.

Suzune Tamamiya

35 years old. Female. 165 cm. D-cup. 13th year since joining. A veteran. Transport Dispatcher. Hand-picked from the Headquarters Personnel Department. Union? She's never been. A married woman who is dissatisfied with being sent from a Headquarters track down to the field. She has a cool voice but is indecisive. "Um, well. The preceding Limited Express is... proceeding with a delay... uh, forget it! Reverse at Suimei! Terminate service!" Apparently, she likes pears.
