On the front end of the train, the pale conductor was kneeling down, sobbing.

"I punched their tickets and put them to sleep just like you said. Please...put me to sleep too. Please....I want to see my dead wife and daughter...please...I beg you..."

A demon hand was crawling on the floor with a single eye and mouth.

"As you wish. You did well. Sleep now...and meet your family in your dreams."

In an instant, the conductor's eyes went wide and he hit the ground unconscious. Four little children behind him looked as the man hit the floor, slightly scared to disappoint the demon they're working for. The girl with braided hair and a red kimono spoke up.

"Um...what about us...? What would you like us to do?"

"In a little while, their sleep will deepen, so wait here until then. Hostility and signs of demons will sometimes awaken demons slayers with good instincts. When you go to tie them up, make sure not to touch them. It might waken them and then the whole plan will go to ruins, you understand?"

"Understood."

"Good. I have to stay in the front car for a little while. Do your best until my preparations are complete. If you succeed, you will have sweet dreams too!"

They all spoke in unison.

"Alright..."

The hand crawled away back up into the front car of the train

The hand crawled away back up into the front car of the train. It climbed up to the roof and reattached itself with what looked like the main body of lower moon one. He smiled as the wind blew into his face and clothes 

"It doesn't matter how strong demon slayers are. Human motivation comes from the heart, from the spirit. You just have to destroy their spiritual core. Do that and they become living corpses that are easy to kill. All humans are the same. Fragile and weak like glasswork."

Back in the main car where the four were sleeping, they were resting peacefully as the train moved at a steady pace.
