from Alice D

I found a book opened p46 and 47 with the following words showing:

"Tension and strain, half dormant still, light with shadow instantly behind, the real and the fantasy, she heard it promting them to speech whispering, and years beneath an uneventful sky secrets are gradual, everyone was waiting for that word, stirred in the light with little flames of silver"

And a card saying "first he doesn't exist. Then he vanishes."
