Shade withdrew the hand he had been resting on the box and decisively shook his head.
"No, not now."
He had not come here because he truly wanted to find Flora's missing uncle. His original purpose had been the Myriad Aspects of Impermanence Cards, while his current purpose was learning Bennett's truth.

"No, no, next Saturday is far too late. I might not even be in town by then."

He did not intend to waste too much time here. No matter what, next time he would travel directly from this place. Once he experienced the principles behind its time travel, Bennett's story could more or less come to an end.

The Masked Man shook his head.
"Sorry. Making an exception and opening on Sunday for you this time was only because of the customer from just now.
