[Page Twenty Eight] Chihiro : "I should be able to get to Inaho's creek through here..." Chihiro [Thoughts] : "Inaho, huh... Inaho... Lemme see..." "I guess I must've confused the girl's name with the Goddess' name, hmm..." [Page Twenty Nine - Right] Chihiro [Thoughts] : "Hmmm.... I can't quite remember who that girl I met was..." "The memories about the girl who's name is 'Inaho...'" [Page Twenty Nine - Top, Middle, Bottom Left] Chihiro : "Wait, I'm sure I heard the sound of bell somewhere when the bear attacked..." "Hahahaha, that just can't be, now, can it?" Chihiro [Thoughts] : "But I still wonder... Who was that girl back a while ago..." [Page Thirty] Chihiro : "Heh, this place hasn't changed much..."
