A host of bizarre characters pass them by in what seems like the blink of an eye, each by turns magical, philosophical, and even theological, as the Galaxy-traversing train pushes ever onward.

Giovanni speaks to Campanella's father, who says his son has been lost in the water too long to be saved. One major thing you want in a story about children is for the younger characters to speak their age, because the trope of the child prophet is as dumb as it is smart.

Dark and innocent, sublime and whimsical, these stories have the ageless feel of the best fairy tales. When Giovanni asks if he catches birds for “ specimens,” the bird catcher replies that he catches them for food. However, as the train approaches Coalsack, a black hole, Campanella sees his mother waiting for him in a meadow (in the " true heaven" of his faith) that Giovanni is unable to see.

Japan has a short mention of the work as illustrated in the reaction of the judge Pierrot, the world class clown, after eating the bread of Shadow who promised it would send him across the galaxy to see his mother.
