"A book can be printed in limited quantities, less than 100, even less than 10. When a Grad Student publishes their dissertation, it has to be published by the college or university print shop, but they only print as many as the student need, from 1 to 5, 10 at most. If you self publish your own book, you can print from 1 to 10,000. Most print 500 and sell them locally. I really doubt who ever published this wanted it to be on the NY Times Best Book List. If 100 of them were printed, that would a large order. I'm guessing less than 20 were made for a very limited audience." Fernando explains, adding, "But, it being a recorded history of the future, makes this a very dangerous book to read. Somebody wanting your death would only need to get the book to know when and where you will be on a given day and kill you then and there. If it were me, I would toss that manuscript into a fire and forget it exists."

"What we do know is no one will kill me. If I were killed, I would not be able to work in an orphanage in Charlton." Jeanette stops to think. "Would the fact you are suggesting that the book be burned influence what I put in my journal? Given the fact the book Hikaru has is from a press, it can't be a manuscript."

Given what Fernando and Jeanette said, Hikaru can't say if the book she's holding was destroyed or not.

"Lets correct one thing - they did not kill you then, when the book or books did not exist. It exists now. Thus if you repeat the actions of your history, for you you will be meeting these people for the first time. They have already met you in the future, and thus when they go through a period of Deja Vu, and realize that you did them wrong,they will try to kill you this time. Your older self here and now continues but your present you will cease to exist. Now who would you do wrong? Saving a girl from a pimp. They realize what happen and you did them wrong in taking the girl - and crows or not, they nor you can't outrun a bullet. So, we need to make sure that a very limited number of that book has been made, like 1. And make sure only one person read it - You Hikaru." Fernando explains.

"I didn't go into details about this conversation when I wrote my journal, assuming I mentioned it at all. If I did, Hikaru would not have brought that copy with her.
 
"If the books exists now, they existed then. Likewise, if the pimps experience déjà vu now, they experienced déjà vu then. Therefore, not many copies were published."

"Fernando," Hikaru asks, "do you want me to answer that question?"

"Not really. This looks like a parallel universe of what is going on from the last time. It's like this. You have lab with a time machine and a cage with a rat inside. Take the rat, send it into yesterday. There was 1 rat today but no more after a certain time. Because of that there will be no rats tomorrow. But sending the rat into yesterday creates an infinite loop, creating an infinite number of rats in Yesterday. Strangely, Today only has 1 rat, the same rat as before." Fernando explains, "We might be in an infinite loop, we don't know it. I do not have my equipment to measure it to see if this is our second time or our millionth time. All we know is that it has to be done. After a while, those experiencing deja vu will realize who you are and act out your termination. But like the strange part, like the 1 rat in Today, old Jeanette exists."
 
Fernando looks at them and to see which one of their brains blows up first. But then he decides to ask a question.
 
"Hikaru - look at today's entry, and so far without saying anymore more, those events we are going through thus far, are stated in the book as they so far happened?"

Hikaru turns to the first entry, April 30. "Yes. May I make a suggestion?"

"After Jeanette writes in her journal tonight, I compare it with the copy I have. If it is the same, word for word, we can assume the time line has not been altered."
