Ione wakes up with her head feeling like a watermelon that has fallen off a four-story building. And had its watermelon soul go to watermelon Abaddon and be hunted down by things that eat watermelon souls, things with white eyes and bony hands.
Everything seems dreamlike and her thoughts are like she's halfway through falling asleep, thoughts that don't follow from other thoughts, and therefore she needs to say, as her first words when she wakes:
"Stop damaging books takeral! This is a library takeral!"
