People have stopped traveling between Cambridge and Cello a very long time ago but Elliot has discovered a small crack between the two worlds that allows him to correspond with Madeleine. The two strike up a friendship but Madeleine thinks all the talk about Cello is some wonderful imaginary fairy tale that Elliot has made up.
