We spent the last few Loops doing things we weren’t able to do. I taught Amy how to carry out a heist, program a drone, the lottery numbers for each month whenever you feel like making a getaway and how to make balloon animals and Amy taught me how to draw. We got to see a whole lot of exotic sites and saw almost everything the world had to offer (I still don’t want to go anywhere near Snake Island).

Life was great, but one morning at my place Amy told me something.

“I found a way we can leave this hellhole.”

I was ready to role my eyes and dismiss her but I decided I’d give her a shot. “What? And don’t tell me I have to do something selfless or I will…”

“Lief Einstein,” Amy said. “He’s a guy studying tachyon particles, time dilations and time loops.”

“He’s a nutcase,” I said. “I saw him on TV, he claimed they transferred Albert Einstein’s brain into his head when he was a baby. How the hell does that work?”

“Quirks aside…”

“Quirks? They seem like red flags to me,” I said.

“He’s research has been improved by actual scientific boards,” Amy said. “He may be crazy but I think he’s onto something and his next paper…”

Amy pulled up a newspaper article.

MAD SCIENTIST LIEF EINSTEIN INVESTIGATING TIME LOOPS.

“It’s on Time Loops,” Amy said.

“Even if he does help us,” I said. “Instead of thinking we’re… you know crazy? Research like this takes years and every year we Loop. How will we make any progress?”

“We remember the Loops, don’t we?” Amy said. “Whenever we Loop we tell him our findings and hope he’s crazy enough to believe us and judging by the fact that he thinks he has Einstein’s brain. I kinda think he is.”

I sighed. “Oh well, what do we have to lose?”
