"Clio."
"Mmm?"
"Are you awake?"
"I am now."
"Sorry."
"... ..."
"Clee, I feel weird."
"What do you mean, 'weird'?"
"I feel like I forgot something important, like I left something somewhere. Accidentally."
"Everybody has felt like that at some point. But you haven't forgotten anything, unless -- you forgot to sign something important. Don't worry."
"... ..."
"Is it still bothering you?"
"Yes, it's like... There's some part of me, just below my ribs, which is supposed to be there but isn't. I have a strange feeling that I should know why it isn't there, but I can't put my finger on it."
"... ..."
"I sound crazy."
"Yes. But I think I know what you mean."
"And I have a bad feeling. Like something bad is about to happen."
"Come here... Nothing bad is going to happen to either of us, and you're not missing any part of yourself. Everything is fine and you'll feel better in the morning."
"Thank you."
"Shh... close your eyes. Think about breakfast."
"... I feel better."
"I thought you would."

In this edition, the negative is located between the page announcing "Part Three" of the book and the beginning of Chapter 18. Negative 11 is the only page in the book on black paper. On the reverse of the page is a long white line, similar to the one seen in Chapter 29.
