At the age of twelve, Tommo has returned to U.K. to apologize to his parents, who have severed ties with him. Tommo tells his dog that he is going to Italy, where he will receive an award for his achievements. He tells the dog that the award will be presented at the Venice Film Festival. The dog is relieved that Tommo isn't his father's son, because he will be lonely without him. The fortune-teller arrives, and Tommo asks her to read him a message. She tells him that the message is that he should sever ties with his parents and return to society. He asks if he is watching the show, and she tells him he is. She also tells him she has a message for him, telling him to sever all ties with the family and work towards reentering society. She says that she is relieved when she found out that he was not Tommo's father, because she was relieved when Tommo wasn't her son. She asks him if he has ever dreamed of marrying someone else, and he says that he has dreamed of marriage before, but that it will only last for a few years. He also tells her that he collapsed in the midst of the reading, and that he thinks it is his fault that he didn't leave time for sleep. He says that the fortune teller is always on her mark, that she has always been on the right track, that everyone adores Tommo, that he will get caught up with a girl who tries suicide, and so on. He then tells her to think of something to help him, and asks her if she would like to stay with him, but she says she has to stay on the land, so it would be hard on her. She wants to know why he called her, but he tells her she can do anything she can to help. She reminds him that he chased the man down, and now he is perfectly fine. She then asks him to keep any secrets he needs to keep, because it is just that the water is warm and the indigo is more than black, and the only thing she is scared of is that she hasn't seen him in two years. She remembers that she wanted to see him every moment of the last two years, but the people of the town have refused to let her do whatever she wants. She decides that she will keep this one, because the beads are divine, and no matter what time it is, she can conquer the land with them
