They spend one last week together before their Separation Day, then go to the station where a simulation of the library in which they first met has been prepared for them. However, as they prepare to say goodbye, strange things happen. Words in books change, a moth explodes in midair, and the bookshelves ripple. A statue of two lovers starts to come alive, and a loud groaning sound is heard, accompanied by the appearance of a large blue box. | They spend one last week together before their Separation Day, then go to the station where a simulation of the library in which they first met has been prepared for them.
