A mysterious stranger responds and wants to see the book, hesitant, Noir lets them, Noir is a shy loner, so they were nervous being around other people. When the mysterious stranger arrives, they check out the book. Noir and the mysterious stranger are transported to another dimension where Noir lives a new life.
