The next morning, the gang prepares for their meal. The narrator tells the gang that the experiment was completed the night before. He tells them that the book that they brought with them from their dreamland is like a "cocoon" that can't be broken. They have to collect the book a hundred times before it can be broken, which is half a month away. The gang asks the narrator if he has any wishes. He says that he has something to tell them for a long time, but he doesn't want to wait in case something goes wrong. He wants them to pretend that he didn't say what he said just now and that he's leaving first.
