I'm so sorry, for lying, for not telling you about our past. And I don't blame you for being mad at me and staying away for so long. But I've been thinking about it a lot, and I don't know, I feel like we had something really good going before I screwed it up, you know.

So, I think I found a way out. ‐ Huh? ‐ We are trapped in a box of energy. We get out of it by escaping the box in the 3.2 seconds it takes to travel through the loop itself.

‐ And by "escaping the box," you mean‐‐ ‐ We blow up ourselves and the cave during that window. And if we detonate the C4 at the exact right moment, it will propel us out.

‐ I don't know. We could wake up, and it's today, we could wake up, and it's 20 years from now, or, you know, we could be dead under a pile of rocks.

‐ Spuds' goat. I sent her into the cave and I, I blew her up. I don't know where she went, but she is not here anymore. Can you zip me up? ‐ Wait. The goat is gone? ‐ Mm‐hmm.

That's crazy, right? So, I think that we just get through the rest of today, we don't do anything too nuts, and then tonight, we peace the fuck out of this shithole.

‐ Well‐‐ I mean, you sure you don't wanna run some more tests or something? ‐ What? No. What are you talking about? ‐ Well, it's just the cave's not going anywhere. What's the big rush, you know, in case something actually does happen?
