“Yomiko,” Donnie whispered.
“Hmmmmm?” was Yomiko’s feeble response. She was out of breath, exhausted.
“I think that we should try looking elsewhere.” Donnie held her hand, trying to lead her away. But Yomiko just stood there, staring at the big shelf, scanning every title there was.
“We’ve looked in this shop for around 10 times already.”
“I know, but…”
“Maybe we could ask the shopkeeper when the new stocks are arriving.”
Yomiko sighed and let Donnie lead her away from the shelf. They walked towards the information desk and talked to the little old man. The little old man told them that the new stocks would be coming in the following week. Donnie and Yomiko left the bookshop empty-handed.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, there was a woman holding a hard-bound book.
