Leonard Churchill's mind was in turmoil.
But by now, he was pretty sure that he had indeed traveled back in time a hundred years.
No wonder it felt strangely familiar to look at the girl shining before him though they had just met for the first time.
It was mutual.
It wasn't just because of the exchange of letters, it was also a kind of fateful entanglement.
Their encounter "had already happened" in history.
A hundred years later, Vera Williams found Leonard Churchill in Sinless City and gave him a Stamp;
Leonard Churchill, in turn, used this Stamp to travel back a hundred years and find Miss Anne in Bolton Town.
The former knew about the encounter a hundred years ago, the latter knew about the encounter a hundred years later.
A wondrous life experience.
Leonard Churchill was shocked for the second time.
