Linkon Subway: Line 11
Organization Name: Linkon Metro Supervision Service
Website: www.linkonsupervision.ccm
The Linkon Subway is a frequent mode of transportation showcased throughout the game. The in-game world has a vast system of railway lines, stations, and terminals throughout the Linkon City area.
Line 11 of the subway runs from the Coelum Express Terminal to the Linkon Botanical Garden, it's first availability is at 5:00 AM and it's last stop is at 11:55 PM.
Warnings & Signage:
Here are all of the legible signage/information I spotted on the subway. Overall, it seems to be a very accommodating service!
"Please do not get on or off the vehicle when the door light is flashing"
"Disabled-friendly carriage is available. Please contact the staff if you need any help"
"Please pay close attention to the interchange schedule if you want to transfer to other lines."
"We stop selling tickets three minutes before the last train arrives."
Details:
The specific subway the protaganist boards in "Late Night Encounter" is subway 18. She mentions it's a subway she takes every day. That particular night, she boarded the train from the Garden West Station. At the time, it's announced as the last subway to Linkon Botanical Garden that night.
When the subway circles back to the same departing station again, the opened doors show a glimpse of signage listing the other stops along Line 11. It lines up with the known terminals of this line as well as the next stop shown on the display. The only mismatch is the sign shows the stop before Garden West as "Newtown Avenue" while the internal subway display says it was "Metro Boulevard". The text is pretty hard to make out, but I'll list what I've deciphered so far:
In descending order, it lists:
Linkon Botanical Garden
South (?) (?)
Ch(?) Town
Linkon South Station
(?) Highway [if I squint, it kinda looks like "Alkaline"?]
(?) (?) (?) Park [kinda looks like "Estate World Theme Park"?]
(Jiajang?) (?) (?)
Linkon No. 3 (?)
Pioneer Village
(Bohee?) Tech Park
Garden East
International Exhibition Hall
Garden West [the station where protaganist boarded]
Newtown Avenue
Linkon Library
University of Linkon
Commerce Harbor
(?) [the first word kinda looks like "Public" and the last word looks like "Center"?]
Moonrise St.
River Bridge
Jayden North
Duke's Bay
Cloud Train Terminal (likely an unintended artifact before the name "Coelum Express" was finalized?)
After defeating the Wanderer, the subway station they exit from has another sign identifying Line 11 and a sign indicating the following locations are nearby:
Garden West
Central Park
Century Center
Other Linkon Subway Lines:
In a few scenes, we get a glimpse at the map of subway lines. I was unable to gather any useful details from it. But if you spot something, pls holler lol.
Funny Details:
If you look closely, you can spot a couple of misspellings in the signage:
Instead of "Next Stop", the display reads "Nest Stop"
In the message about disability carriages, it tells you to contact the staff if you "need any hel"

I fully headcanon that those in the Thorston family with “nut” at the end of their name was is in the higher hierarchy of the family
Because we have the nuts, which includes the twins, their cousin and their aunt (and a few others) so that’s close family
And then we have these poor bastards
I don’t think we know anything about these people
But I think I’d like Larry

I’d have to imagine that both Ryan and Min-Gi grew up poor, the Akagis being a big family that struggles to accommodate for 5 children, the Parks being first generation immigrants who struggled to find jobs in a mostly white country. Ryan was the kind of kid who would feel frustration with his financial situation, but he learned to work with what he had and not complain because it’s not like him being upset would fix anything, right? Then Min-Gi had the bulk of the burden thrust onto him because he was at a greater advantage than he parents, being a born Canadian citizen and all. He was made to work himself to the bone to not only be independent for himself, but to help his family too. He carried the stress of his family on his back his entire life, so allowing himself to be selfish and pursue his own happiness over financial stability is something he’s just not allowed to think of at all. Meanwhile Ryan, while not financially stable, still can feel more at ease about taking the leap of faith because he’s never had to be the sole provider for his family. He’s allowed to be the disappointing son, he’s expected to be, and while he’s definitely not okay with that, it definitely explains why he isn’t looking at running away with the same fear that Min-Gi is
