She was surprised to see another individual at this place—a man strolling around, scarcely younger than her.

Well, there’s us.
Do you recall the popcorn? There was a stand with popcorn and candy. I never tasted anything like it in my life. Do you think that's true, or am I just being nostalgic?
You might be right.
I think I'll see if there are remnants of the Scary Train. I saved pocket money for weeks, and then I spent it on the Train. – Sorry, I must be bothering you...
You are not.
The memories are so strong here. I wished I could be young again.

If you truly want to relive a visit to the Park, you can.“
But how?
Come with me. Do you remember the Time Machine?
Sure.
You have to enter it on Walpurgis night, exactly at midnight. Repeat the phrase thrice, pay the fare of 10 cents, and it all comes back to life.

I can't believe this.
In fact, I'm here to meet my wife. I lost her ten years ago. I'd join her if I could, but I still have to care for our son, so I must return.
You're having me on.
Find out yourself. Here we go.
Indeed, a gathering of around twenty men and women, all aged over fifty, stood before a fun ride. A colored sign reading Time Machine hung askew. She could hear faint music playing.
