Shiro wonders to a spot, he asks himself "How do I use this token" when something catches his eye, it looks like a ticket fare box, it is made of wood, has a golden lid, and a big "TOKEN" written on the front
"How did I never notice that?" he asked himself as he walked towards the box, it had a slot and he placed the coin in when all the chatter in the train disappeared, he turned around to see everyone gone, the whole train was empty, that spooks him a lot 'where did everybody go' he thought when the train starts to speed up, knocking him off his feet, it moved faster and faster as the light began to pour into the cabin, he sees moments of his life flash through the window, like a tv screen.
"Stop hurting him" A young Shiro shouts as he sees a group of thugs beating up an old man
"Oh yeah, what you gonna about It useless kid" one of the Thugs snares at him
Standing in between a Thug and two other Thugs he yells "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HIM!" as young Shiro tries to launch an attack on them, but they dodge "You little shit, I'm gonna beat the crap outta you, you think you're some hero" one of the Thug said, as he and his gang round up and start to beat up young Shiro.

"Not gonna happen," the doctor said as bluntly as possible, "I'm sorry ma'am, but your son has little to no spark essence judging by these results, meaning he's skill will be mediocre at best" The doctor paused looking at his mother "if he develops a skill at all" those words hit young Shiro like a freight train.

The scene then changes to show Shiro in middle school, "Shiro hasn't shown his skill yet, that's strange" one of the teachers said, "didn't you hear" A female teacher spoke "he might not get one," "that's impossible, everyone gets a skill eventually, he's probably just a late bloomer", Daichi and the other kids that had eavesdropped on the teacher decided to mock and ridicule him for it.

The scene changes once more to show Shiro in his room, listening to his parents argue about him, "that boy is no son of mine" a male voice presumably his fathers can be heard, "how can you say that about our son" she asked in tears, "what son? in this day and age, a child without spark essence is as good as dead, how will he survive? what will he do?" his father asked in rage.
"Where are you going" his mother cried out as his father walked out with his luggage "What use is there staying here with you and a useless…Thing" he snared as he saw Shiro peeking from around the corner.

Shiro crying in his room as his mother entered "Hey Mom, what's wrong with me" he said holding a knife, in horror she rushed to take it from him cutting her forearm in the process. "Why would you hold a knife? What were you…." She paused seeing the devastated look on his face, tears starting to roll from his eyes, she began to cry as well as she hugged her son "I'm sorry Shiro, I'm so sorry" she cried.

Then it changes to show Tetsu 'Shiro's high school friend' earlier that day in school, "You know there's no way of becoming a Hero without no skill, it's impossible, listen to me as a friend and try to focus on another dream dude"
/-/
Then it changes to show Sentinel "I'm sorry kid, but it's impossible to be a hero without a skill" the hero spoke "Hero or hunter, they say if you work hard enough you can achieve anything, but there's a limit to how true that statement is, being a hero without any skills is simply impossible" the scene fades and the cabin appears dark.

Shiro was already crying, despair of all his past traumas was coming back full force, but in the midst of it all, he heard Hermes' voice, "So what if you have no skill" Then showed the earlier accident with Daichi at the phantom terror and dread written on his face "Is having a skill what defines a hero or is it their heart and action" it shows Shiro running to save his classmate.
"Listen to me Shiro, a hero is someone concerned about other people's well-being and will go out of his or her way to help them" The scene shows Shiro throwing his textbook at the phantom and rushing in to help his classmate, "just because you don't have any skill like the guardians or the hunters, doesn't mean you can't be a Hero. That person who helps others simply because it is the right thing to do", Everything fades black and shows Hermes talking to Shiro at the train station "is indeed without a shadow of a doubt a true Hero!".
The train comes to a stop and the doors open to reveal some sort of cave.
"Where am I, what is this place, Am I dead?" he asked confused,
He turned to see Hermes was gone, "Hermes?!" he said, with no one answering any of his questions he made his way towards the entrance in front of him.
