"Jeanette, Shizuku Tsukishima did not disappear forever. The Charlton Library has a 2006 copy of Whisper of the Heart, stamped and signed by Shizuku Tsukishima." Hikaru can't say that nobody knows where she is because Jeanette's journal reveals Shizuku Tsukishima's whereabouts.

"All the books they have, they acquire through trade. Therefore, they don't know what books will arrive or when and they are very old." Hikaru answers. "Recently, in Texas, a printing press has opened for business. It's the only one in the former U.S. territory I know about. They are printing Bibles in the New King James Version."

"I'm not here to change your beliefs . . . admittedly, I question how you came to your conclusion; I'm just stating that not everything adds up."
 
Hearing activity, the party continues to follow the Spirits. They come across a Salish village consisting of permanent and temporary structures and Native Americans in traditional attire. Some are building a canoe the traditional way by carving it out of a log.
 
Where there's a canoe, there must be a body of water. Moreover, Jeanette knows the Salish live on fish and travel by water.
 
A young Salish man approaches. "Welcome, guests. I'm called Tonane. The Spirits told of your arrival."

"There are none sick among us." Tonane answers. "You, who have been summoned by the Spirits, are our guests."

Tonane shrugs. "Okay, Fernando. Do you know how to catch fish?"
 
"Wait," Jeanette asks, "how do you know Fernando's name?"
 
"The Spirits told me all of your names. Come."
 
Jeanette follows. "What kind of fish do you catch?"
 
"Salmon."
 
"I like salmon."
