The framing journey follows Roland with Eddie, Susannah, Jake and Oy after the events at the Green Palace. The same relationships carry into this story, including Jake’s companionship with Oy. References to Blaine recall the journey already shared by the group, so the train’s membership here is recorded as a mention rather than a fresh encounter.

Roland’s account of his younger life also recalls Susan Delgado and Marten Broadcloak. Susan connects the story to the love and loss narrated in Wizard and Glass. Marten is the court-magician identity reviewed under Randall Flagg, so his mention belongs to that existing character history rather than to a new person.
