After returning to his physical body following a tense confrontation with Oki, Janu visits a library where he encounters Tora and Nokana. Tora has begun volunteering at the library after leaving her previous job at Tami’s salon, an arrangement she describes as a positive change. During the conversation, Janu struggles with "patchy" memories of his life and previous relationships, notably inquiring about the bookstore that Nokana reveals closed months prior.
Nokana expresses regret over her previous awkwardness toward Janu and admits to "staring" at him, framing it as a result of her own social insecurity. As they discuss Janu’s search for stability and normality, Nokana presents him with a notebook he had previously given her for safekeeping. While most of the notebook is empty, Janu discovers an enigmatic poem on the final pages. Janu, unable to decipher its meaning himself, leaves the notebook with Nokana for further critical analysis, hoping that comparing it to his other writings might reveal a hidden message or theme. The interaction ends with Tora returning from purchasing drinks for everyone, leaving Janu with a sense of purpose regarding his ongoing search for answers.
