Chapter 24
The trip to the Izumo Airport took well over twenty-four hours. From there, Ceinwen and Rachel took a shuttle bus to the train station. They discovered trains left frequently for Matsue, but when they asked about Kamigawa, they were met with blank looks. Finally, they bought tickets to Matsue, hoping to learn more at the Lafcadio Hearn Museum. As they stood on a platform waiting for the next train, Rachel spotted a sign over a distant track that was flashing the name “Kamigawa” as a train approached.
Ceinwen couldn’t see it, but Rachel was insistent. With Rachel leading the way, the two ran for the track, and made it onto the train just as its doors shut. To their surprise, the car was empty. They guessed the other passengers had all chosen to sit in cars closer to the front.
