Line 2 consists of a total of 9 different stations. However only 3 stations are unlocked at the beginning. After completing all available stations, the player can return to the first station, increasing their Cycle Count and unlocking more stations. After completing the first Cycle, the Terminus Station is unlocked which can be entered at any point during the run.
The Terminus Station serves as the final battle, and upon entering it, the player will be unable to leave. Completing the Terminus Station will end the run.
The rank of a run is determined by the Cycle Count. Runs with the same Cycle Count are ranked according to the total number of turns taken.

Buffs
One Ally Buff and one Enemy Buff has to be chosen for each Cycle that is cleared. Ally buffs heals Sinners, buffs attacks of a certain damage type or sin affinity, or grants extra status effect potency to allies or enemies every turn. Enemy buffs provide for a larger range or enhancements.
All buffs are stackable; that is, choosing a buff multiple times will increase its strength by the number of times that it has been chosen.
Ally Buffs
There are 19 ally buffs to choose from. The ally buff that has been chosen for any given Cycle may not be chosen again for the Cycle directly after it, but may be chosen again after 2 Cycles.

It was working ceaselessly. The machine has never stopped working since its pressurized, scalding hot steam turned its first gears. We must break the cycle in which it has long been trapped to continue on our path.
The fox cries, sometimes. We know not if it cries for sorrow or rain. We know, however, that the umbrellas piercing its body are not there for the rain. For the fox has not once opened them for itself.
You know what they say: time is money. I've once heard the tale of a miser who amasses a hoard of gold deep within his basement. Amassing time as one does gold is not so different, perhaps.
...Their clocks are giving me a headache for some reason.
The refraction rate rises steeply in this train. Every single Station feels like a mountain to climb. I think we can take a short rest by the stocky tree stump and the forest with blue lights... The teal-colored light atop the branch dances from side to side, beckoning us...
We must sometimes become selfish things, full of animosity if it means our survival. Sometimes, we make others suffer so that we may not. For a moment, I hesitate before the two buttons in front of the Station. Am I doing the right thing...?
'Come here, come all! Take a swig!' I can smell the unpleasant stench of alcohol even before the Train door opens. 'Hurry along, all! A big swill, and you'll feel swell! ...It doesn't even look remotely potable. One of the Sinners begins to retch violently. Guess I'm not alone in thinking that.
The train awaits our choice. The refraction rate is at its limits. Breach past it, or... Ricochet and start a new Cycle? Whichever it is, we must choose carefully. We want to avoid falling off into a wayward path like that...thing outside the Station.
This is an adequate place to get off this train without getting lost. The refraction rate is already off the charts. For the first time since we embarked on this journey... I see a signpost. Maybe, this is where this railway line ends. Or maybe...this is where we meet our ends.
