The Hopeless Romantic managed to shut down Perthville’s coal mine yesterday, at least for the time being. His actions have impacted heavily on the economy, as Perthville’s trains mainly transport coal, but he is trying to make the town fall back in love with him.

He is currently showing some love for the Train Driver, with an ulterior motive: he loves trains, and secretly wants to be a train driver himself.

This reporter predicts that the Hopeless Romantic will leap down from his lookout above the train and depose the Train Driver after he has distracted him with an amorous sign.
