Yes, while not a primary focus, there are elements of romance and implied romantic relationships between characters in Infinity Train.
Implied Romance in Character Relationships
Infinity Train is a show known for exploring complex themes of identity, trauma, and growth. While romantic relationships are not central to the main narratives of passenger journeys or the overarching plot concerning the Train itself, the series subtly weaves in hints of potential or past romantic connections between some characters.
The Case of Grace and Simon
A notable example highlighted in character backstories is the relationship between Grace Monroe and Simon Laurent, particularly during their time leading the Apex organization. As referenced from the Infinity Train Wiki on Fandom:
Preteen Grace and Simon cuddling as they explain the Apex to another child. It is heavily implied the two had a romantic relationship as the two frequently exchanged flirtatious remarks whilst acting intimate such as holding hands and cuddling.
This description provides concrete examples of the intimate behaviors and suggestive dialogue that led to the strong implication of a romantic bond between them during their formative years. Their interactions included:
- Cuddling: Demonstrating physical closeness and comfort with each other.
- Holding Hands: A common signifier of affection or intimacy.
- Exchanging Flirtatious Remarks: Suggesting a level of romantic interest beyond simple friendship.
These details collectively paint a picture of a relationship that was, at the very least, deeply intimate and strongly hinted at being romantic during their adolescence on the Train.
While Infinity Train focuses more on platonic bonds, self-discovery, and navigating difficult circumstances, the inclusion of such implied relationships adds depth and realism to the characters' personal histories.
