Time is strange there, she says; the town’s one clock has no hands. Her real self lives in that town, and the girl with the protagonist is only a shadow. Her real self works in the town’s library. The girl believes the boy has the qualifications to be a Dream Reader and to read the dreams collected in the library. The girl explains to the protagonist that he can only find his way to the town if he really wishes to. She asks him not to give up and warns him that when he finds her in the library, she won’t remember him.</p>
