Twelve pages into ON THE CALCULATION OF VOLUME II, the 2nd year of November 18's, I no longer think there's a key to unlock time for Tara, and I begin to imagine what if? Then I think of Trudy's loop, but Trudy's mind is in a loop, out of time, and Tara's loop is one day endlessly repeating. Trudy knows her situation, though not the time or place, and searches idly for an exit short of dying, because she's also in an endless cookie loop. But does she still have cellular memory, inaccessible to her conscious mind? Does she know without knowing that Karen died?
