A mysterious young man who comes and goes without a trace. Perpetrator of many bad deeds and a few good ones — good and evil are so ambiguous to him that all accusations against him seem weak and meaningless. Simply classifying him as a cunning enemy is not quite right, but treating him as a friend too soon is recipe for exploitation with worse consequences. No matter how strong or mysterious a person is, one would have a past and weaknesses. What secrets lie in Hayabusa's past? And what unimaginable weakness does he have?

Hayabusa excels at the art of disguise and generally will not admit what identities he has taken on before, which is quite disconcerting. No matter how you grill him, he will simply grin and say, "All sorts of identities, of course. It's all for completing missions," but he is perhaps the only one who will ever know just the kind of lengths he has gone to for his "missions." Just the thought that any young woman they met could've been Hayabusa in disguise makes people start to doubt their own instincts.
When Conductor told him about this, he was taken aback, claiming he had never once appeared on the Eternal in disguise. Indeed, all of the "recorded crimes" and complaints from passengers are linked with Hayabusa's actual self, and the mysterious occurrences with things and people not matching up usually end up just being misunderstandings among the crew.
Still, at any rate, keep in mind not to accept any food given by Hayabusa in unclear circumstances. What this entails isn't purely minimal odds of food poisoning but a worse situation: it is more often than not purchased by him and instead swiped on a whim. If the food's owner comes storming over before the evidence is destroyed, all hell will break loose.
Hayabusa's father is the mayor of Shoggolith City, Jose Lynch. This is a name not only known in the city where he holds power but also relatively heard in other places. However, this name must never be mentioned in Hayabusa's presence. Even when he simply hears it by chance through news broadcasts, the smile that's always on his face will be instantaneously wiped off. Clearly, he and his father's relationship is far from amicable.
The last time Hayabusa showed up in public as "Jose's son" was during a certain public event several years ago. Jose, campaigning as a populist, had earned tons of election votes with the identity of a widower raising a daughter and son alone and was at a place in life where his career was flourishing. From the photos taken by the media at the time, the adolescent Hayabusa can be vaguely seen facing the camera emotionlessly with his back toward Jose, who was answering questions from the commoners, and a short distance away was a girl waving at Hayabusa for attention. She was Jose's daughter, Hayabusa's little sister.
The significance of this photo lies in the momentous time it was taken. Just a few short minutes after this shot, the venue of the Reality Stabilizer's groundbreaking ceremony was under attack. Jose's daughter was sent to the hospital critically injured, and there were casualties among the security team. Meanwhile, at the media conference later on the same day, Jose vehemently proclaimed that if he were to be mayor in the future, he would never allow such acts of terrorism to happen. The image of him "not giving up on the tough duties of constructing a city despite grieving as a father" once again boosted his election approval ratings.
As for his son, the boy disappeared from the public eye since then and gradually became the current Hayabusa.
The original document has been replaced by a note.
"You're curious, aren't you? Well, instead of spilling everything, I find it more fun to see you disappointed. The expression on your face right now is quite intriguing. Thanks for the treat."
...
When did he manage to do that? And nobody on the train noticed?
Is he lurking around, keeping an eye on me now?
Something is written on the back of the note as well.
"You're quite persistent. Has no one ever told you that you are quite annoying? But fine, I might just be in the mood to share something, though I can't vouch for its accuracy. Now, put down this note and turn around, Conductor."
Hey, I'm Hayabusa. No welcome for me?
No matter how far you are, I can accurately track your whereabouts... Hmm? I'm just kidding.
Of course you can't notice it when I'm sneaking up on you. I'm a professional.
Of course I've been working hard for Night Chains. What? Do I look like a jobless drifter?
Don't slack off, Conductor. I've been watching you.
I didn't expect to see so many battle fanatics on your train. I seriously don't have anything to say to them.
Conductor, I've got a piece of cake for you. You're welcome... It's a bit noisy back there? Oh, perhaps they're looking for the cake in your hand.
You're getting used to it, huh? You used to get all flustered when I stared at you like this.
There are too many weirdos and troublemakers in Night Chains. Huh? Why do you look at me like that? How rude.
Do you think I can't tell that you switched the ketchup with chili sauce? I hate such spicy seasoning. That's an awful taste. It masks the original flavor of the ingredients.
The snow mountain parfait in Night Chains Land is very famous. It's the best out of the 75 types of parfait I've tried. I recommend strawberry flavor.
Bang! Nah, such a bland reaction. You've already noticed me? Hahaha, no way, I'm Hayabusa!
To be honest, I didn't expect to get along with you like this. It's only normal to kick me out of the train after going through so much. Or perhaps you're... Nevermind. Hey, don't glare at me.
Conductor, you're not considering me a friend, are you? That's a dangerous thought. You'd better forget it. Remember, I'm a nasty villain.
I said I hate violence...
Their movements won't escape my eyes.
Please give me some interesting foes...
Totally predictable. Boooring.
What an eyesore. Just disappear.
See, told you I'm not good at this.
I'm getting sick of this.
I'm doing all the real work here, and you lot are completely useless.
