As the ladies step out of the church, a crow lands in a tree and caws.
"They did?" Moro replies.
The crow continues.
"I'm impressed. It now seems the party does not need the bus we have prepared. Thanks for letting me know."
The crow flies away.
As the ladies walk through the market, Chihiro sees something familiar.
On a table are two anthropomorphic cat dolls. The orange cat is wearing a tuxedo, matching top hat and is holding a walking stick. The cream colored cat is wearing a dress and a hat. She is holding some flowers.
"Baron!" Chihiro looks the orange cat doll and immediately notices the eyes. "You're not the real Baron."
"So, you've read
Whisper of the Heart?" The dealer asks.
Chihiro nods her head. "Yes."
"Those are just replicas." Moro tells Chihiro.
The dealer continues. "Legend has it Shizuku Tsukishima was brought to the world of the Spirits shortly her book was published."
"She was in the world of the Spirits but she returned." Chihiro says to the dealer.
"Why do you say she returned?"
"Shizuku Tsukishima disappeared in 1995. The Charlton library has a 2007 copy of
Whisper of the Heart signed and stamped by the author."
The dealer has noticed Chihiro's accent. "Do you read Japanese?"
Chihiro nods her head again. "Yes."
The dealer pulls out a wooden box. "I have something especially rare." She opens the box revealing a copy in Japanese. "Not only is this a first edition," she opens the cover, "it's signed by the author."
Chihiro looks at the signature. "The signature is a fake. That's not . . . her hand writing."
"Are you some sort of expert on Shizuku Tsukishima?"
"I am."
Elsa looks at a doll of a red headed girl in a traditional style dress. The dress is not historically accurate for 1803 Arendelle.
"That's Anna as a child from the Disney movie
Anna."
Jeanette sees a Vanellope von Schweetz doll and picks her up. "I have a Vanellope von Schweetz doll; I've never actually held her before."
"How can you own a doll without ever holding her?"
"All of my dolls are mint in box.
Sugar Rush is my favorite arcade game. I even have the game's theme song on my iPod."
The dealer looks at Danielle. "I have a Girl Scout doll you may be interested in."
"I don't collect dolls." Danielle states.
"What are you interested in?"
"Guns and playing the piano."
