The narrator tells us that he and the girl have known each other since they were both students at the same school. He says that when he was under hypnosis, he dreamed that he was eighteen years old and she was seventeen years old. He tells the girl that she was two months shy of her 17th birthday when he first met her. He gives her a coin and tells her to take it to the bank. The girl thanks him and says that she will have the same soup as before. The narrator says that he has finished the soup and that he sent the students there with all her flyers. He asks the girl if she is happy and she says yes. He then tells her that if she wants to go to the train station, she should get off at the station.
