Miraboarded Train 405 at 10:12 p.m., a quiet night train heading north. She had a window seat, a playlist called “Escape,” and a novel she borrowed from a tiny library near her apartment. She liked long rides—no Wi-Fi, no noise, just the steady rhythm of the tracks.

As the train pulled out of the station, a voice interrupted her reading.

“Excuse me, is that Letters to Iris?”

She looked up to see a guy, maybe her age, holding a cup of vending machine coffee.
“Yeah,” she said, lifting the book slightly. “You’ve read it?”

“Only the first half. My copy disappeared at page 189.” He laughed. “Tragic timing.”

Mira smiled. “Want to borrow mine? I’m only on page 80.”

They switched seats. For the next hour, Mira dozed off listening to soft piano music while the stranger read beside her.

By 1 a.m., he closed the book and left a note on a napkin inside:

“Thanks, Mira. The last chapter hit hard. If you’re ever at Platform 3 on a Thursday night… I’ll be reading something else. — J”

When she woke up, he was gone.

She read the final pages on her own. They were beautiful and a little bit heartbreaking.

That Thursday, and the next, Mira returned to Platform 3.

And one rainy night, a familiar figure stood under the flickering lamp, holding a different book—and two coffees.

中文全文翻譯405次列車的最后一頁

米拉在晚上10點12分登上了405次列車，一輛向北開的夜行列車。她選了一個靠窗的座位，耳機里播放著名為“逃離”的歌單，手里拿著一本從公寓附近小圖書館借來的小說。

她喜歡長途旅程——沒有Wi-Fi，沒有喧鬧，只有鐵軌規律的節奏。

列車駛出車站后，一個聲音打斷了她的閱讀：

“打擾一下，你手里的那本是《給艾瑞斯的信》嗎？”

她抬頭看見一個與她年紀相仿的男生，手里拿著一杯自動售貨機咖啡。
“是啊?！彼⑽⑻Я讼聲?，“你看過？”

“只看了一半。我那本在第189頁突然不見了?！彼α?，“簡直是悲劇性的時刻。”

米拉笑了：“要不要借我的？我才看到80頁?！?/p>

他們換了座位。接下來的一個小時，米拉靠著耳邊的鋼琴曲打起了瞌睡，而那個陌生人安靜地坐在她旁邊閱讀。

凌晨一點，他合上書，在一張餐巾紙上寫了一段話夾在書里：

“謝謝你，米拉。最后一章真讓人感觸很深。 如果你某個星期四晚上出現在第三站臺……我會在那里看另一本書?！狫”

當她醒來時，他已經不見了。

她獨自讀完了結尾——美麗、感人、又有點憂傷。

那周的星期四，以及之后的幾個星期四，米拉都回到了第三站臺。

直到一個雨夜，一個熟悉的身影站在閃爍的燈光下，手里拿著另一本書——和兩杯咖啡。。
