Some of these chapters take place at the same time, from different points of view. Odd chapters are Ib's point of view, even are Garry's.
Garry was at the café, drinking coffee and having some macaroons. He pulled out of his pocket, Ib's handkerchief, still bloodied. From the other pocket of his worn jacket, he pulled out a note with Ib's phone number. He pulled out his cell phone, and quickly entered the number. He must have someway to remember to call her, in case he lost the paper. He considered calling her, but looked at the café clock and decided it was too early for that, she was probably asleep. Lucky, he thought, Ib is, if she could actually fall asleep after that ordeal. He picked up his last macaroon. He smiled, ate it, and paid the bill. He started to walk away, when he, out of the corner of his eye, saw a bright yellow rose. He saw a girl at the table, about eight, with blonde hair. The girl picked up the flower and laughed. He heard her mutter, "Though, I like blue better" He stared for a moment, and then realized that there was nobody there. He sighed, and walked home.
