She comes to to find herself in a place both alien and desolate. But the first person she meets is her grandfather, whom she has not seen for as long as she can remember. Stella finds herself growing forgetful. In the place where she is she is cut off from all means of communication, so she decides she must have been sent there to break her of her obsession with the Internet.
Justin’s father lands in the same hospital, and Justin sits by his bedside without knowing that little stAre is in the next bed. All this time Stella”s mother is feverishly endeavouring to find out what has become of her daughter. Stella’s grandfather concludes that it should be possible for Stella to go home and sets out to have her released.
