* In [[Honoo no Alpen Rose]], a bridge in the frontier between Austria and Switzerlan is severely damaged. The train in which the main characters travelled was able to barely stop, but there was another coming towards them at full speed. {{spoiler|Jeudi and Lundi help as much as they can to get the other train to stop... but there's an explosion and Lundi disappears.
