   Summary

   There is a freedom, in the madness of a time loop, in the insanity of time having no meaning or worth or value, in the fact that no interaction or conversation or relationship holds any significance when it will all be erased within a few weeks’ time anyway.

   Sanity is such a trifling matter, anyway.

   Or: Raphael will only release Tav from the time loop when she gets him the Crown. Tav uses it as a chance to take up oil painting, glass blowing, and sleep a lot.
