[ There she is.

As luck would have it, Five is watching when the familiar figure breaks off from the rest of the group. He follows silently, grateful for the sound of rushing water that disguises his footsteps.

The solution seems obvious to him. To stop a time loop, you go back to the beginning. This is a prime opportunity to stop it at the source and make sure nothing like this happens again. He could. Just appear behind the woman, like she appeared in his windows, and be rid of her before she can cause him any more grief.

Her tears draw his attention before he can. He slowly steps forward, if she hadn't already seen him, and interrupts her rambling with barely contained judgment. ]


You did it. [ There's no question, he already knew. ] Your son is lost, then what's the point? Do you think she'll notice?
