The next morning, the train arrives at a little place in Minnesota, Kanostone. There are fewer and smaller Victorian-era British-style buildings and has fewer people than in Crowell. Most people in Crowell are a pagan-like mystic spiritual northern European ethnic group named, Utrein. They speak sounds like Finnish, Swedish, and Dutch. They look like Finns. Their culture is similar to Swedish and Finnish. There's peace in Kanostone. The train stops at Kanostone's little railway station, so Charles walks out with his red backpack and his caramel brown pieces of luggage from the train and enters Kanostone through the small beige station with few people inside.
He takes a steam-powered car with a brown and golden carriage and brown wagon. The car drives legally fast through Kanostone's village center to a small country street with a few small houses and buildings and many trees. It looks like a forest but with few small houses.
The car stops when the car arrives at the country street. Charles gets off the car and picks his thing up from the car. So the car drives slowly from there.
Charles walks to a brown house which will be his new home.
There has a brown wooden house with white frames on it. The house looks like a gingerbread house. He enters the brown house.
Nico comes to Charles from his home were right from the brown house.
"Hey, you're my new neighbor. My name is Nico.", says Nico.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Charles.", says Charles.
"I can carry your things please and send them to your new home.", says Nico.
"Oh thanks, Nico", says Charles and gets red cheeks.
After Nico puts Charles' things in Charles' new bedroom and Charles puts and sets his things up in his new bedroom, someone knocks on the entry door of Charles' house. So Charles opens the door. It's a teenage Utrein girl named Julie.
Hi, are you new here, asked Julie Charles.
Yes, I'm new here, and from Crowell in North Dakota, says Charles
Hi, what's your name, asked Julie.
My name is Charles, says Charles to Julie.
Nice to meet you, Charles. My name is Julie and I'm an Utrein. , says Julie to Charles.
Later, Charles and Julie went to Charles' living room and sit on a big red couch with wooden brown frames on and watches news on TV
I use to be a hypnotherapist but now I have to find my new job here due to the new law that hypnosis is banned. That made me feel like I have a situation of multi-head people during the Multi-headed Virus pandemic.
Julie: I get it about the new laws. I gonna be a doctor after this summer. So doctors couldn't be affected as hypnotists did.
Charles: Nice. Can we watch TV?
Julie: Um Okay
So Charles turns his TV on with his remoter.
"The latest news is more people follow anonymous group's laws. The anonymous group is Dehypnos.
The rest of the US and other countries, like the UK, Australia, and Norway are now following Dehypno's rules.", says a news TV announcer.
Charles opens his eyes wide about the news.
Charles: Juile. My hypnotist friends could be caught.
Charles: I have a hypnotist online friend from West Ster, England, and one hypnotist online friend from Yorcreek Park, Arizona. I hope they're surviving and okay.
Julie: Why hypnotists can't meet each other in real life?
Charles: Because some norms wouldn't let hypnotists meet each other in real life psychically because they think hypnotists give other evil voodoo curses. Some hypnotists have been bullied or judged as the result. But now most people want hypnotists to disappear and be extinct.
Julie: I hope you and your online friends are okay and meet your online friends someday. I have a sister who gonna be a doctor.
Hypnotherapies have been replaced with machine boxes named Real Life Dreamer, and Dehypnos made those. Those look like photo booths are like surgery but safer and simpler to make dreams come true. It works all dreams like being looks like celebrities or people from magazines and getting superpowers. Unlike hypnotherapy, Real Life Dreamer made your dreams come true in real life. I will show you a commercial of Real Life Dreamer, says a news TV announcer.
After that, the TV plays a commercial for Real Life Dreamer.
Julie, Can I change the channels please? asked Charles lovingly.
Yes sure, says Julie. So Charles changes the channels every about some seconds with his TV remote control. Charles' TV shows most scenes from shows and movies that portray hypnotists as evil villains, some scenes that portray hypnotists as criminals, and Real Life Dreamer commercials. That's until the channel shows a medical drama on.
Charles. I want to watch this, says Julie excitedly and grins.
So Charles stops to change the channel to let Juile watch a medical drama on TV. He put the TV remoter on a wooden table.
Charles: Julie. I wanna say to you that I'm going to the bed. I began to be sleepy. So good night
Julie: Oh yeah, good night to you, Charles.
So Charles goes to bed.
