** Being left and forgotten. Hiro originally came to Sodor from Japan, and worked there until he broke down.

** After Spencer gets wind of Hiro's existence, Hiro is understandably terrified for his life. Thomas and his friends all worry that Hiro will be scrapped if he's found out, so they all dedicate their efforts into hiding and protecting him, while getting him whatever parts they could find so Hiro could appear "useful".
