Summary
When Nyles woke up in the morning, Sarah was gone.
He panicked for half a second before he took in the room he was in. He wasn’t back with Misty. It was November eleventh.
Sarah’s mom told him that she had left earlier that morning. “She’s halfway to Texas now, uh--Nyles, was it?” she said.
She left without him.
He was struck with so much emotion that he almost missed the fact that someone had finally learned his name.
-----
In the first few days after the loop, Nyles cries, it rains, and Fred makes a very good pillow during phone calls.

Summary
What he wanted was not to die, but to end this existence. He’d died before. But to Nyles, death didn’t mean an end. It just meant yet another beginning.
Fuck, he couldn’t keep doing this. He didn’t know how he could keep doing this. There was just no way. But he had to. He had no choice. It was the worst torture he could imagine.
He closed his eyes.
It was because of this that he did not see the reason why the wheels left the ground.

Summary
Now that he was out of the loop, eating was mandatory.
A lot of things were mandatory now, like finding time to actually fall asleep, or shaving, or showering and brushing his teeth and all that fucking hygiene self care shit that didn’t matter when his body didn’t remember everything he’d done to it.
If all the scars Nyles had accumulated over all his loops were real, he’d be covered in them.

Summary
He was so tired. Although that was probably in his head, too. He was pretty sure his body couldn’t be tired from everything he’d done in all the god knows how long he’d spent in this fucking loop, given, of course, the loop. But he was so, so fucking tired.
So he got drunk. Sure, it wasn’t the best coping mechanism, but fuck that, he was stuck in a motherfucking time loop! Who gave a fuck if he destroyed himself?
Not Nyles.

Nyles has a time loop defying headache.

Summary
“Ohh my god,” she laughed. “You are a literal child.”
Nyles took a pointedly aggressive bite of his sticky-ass sandwich while flipping Sarah off. She snorted.
“I’ve never actually had a fluffernutter,” she said. “When I was a kid my dad used to pack me a pb&j to lunch every day, and a little bag of baby carrots. Except I never ate the carrots. I’d throw them out or give them away, but I never once in my entire elementary school career ate those carrots. I don’t even know why! I like carrots!”
“That’s hilarious,” he said.
“What were you like as a kid?”
And he froze.
He didn’t remember.

Nyles can't remember his childhood. They eat peanut butter. Yay!

Summary
Sometimes at night, he set up a tent he bought earlier during the day and lit up a campfire and sat near it in a foldable camping chair. He always brought along his red puffer jacket with him because it always got cold at night in the desert. He liked looking at the sky. It was clear and covered in stars, they were so close to each other yet so far. They were so bright. As if they were taunting him.
Nyles often found himself longing for closeness.

Summary
He wants to be with her for a million forevers. And he will. That’s the best part, that he can, he can spend the rest of eternity with her, and sometimes, when he’s falling asleep with her head on his shoulder, lit up by a campfire, he stops thinking about the loop as a curse, and starts to love it. Because it’s them, just the two of them, in the spaces between, and nothing can ever separate them.
Not even time.

Summary
Nyles eventually lost count of how many times he’d looped.
Granted, he hadn’t really been counting in the first place, but he’d been able to look back and tell the days apart and count them retroactively if he wanted to. But one day he tried to do that and realized he didn’t know anymore.
It was scary.
That day, he walked out down the highway and stepped into the path of a big blue truck.
