Charles retrieves the book from TOAD and finds an envelope with a key hidden in page 201. Charles wonders what the key unlocks. Ed nudges at the box his mother gave him. He unwraps it and discovers it is the Chrono-Adventurer Survival Kit. The contents include a plastic knife, a patch, a map, a cardboard disk decoder, a pencil, a protractor, and a five-sheet notepad. Charles is disappointed, but understands that his father had bought it for him, which matters more. Inside the box there is a smaller box that requires a key.

The second box contains a diorama of the Yu family kitchen. The diorama’s calendar and blue clock point to 7:14 on April 14, 1986. Charles realizes that this may be a message from his father. He also realizes that the reason he is trapped in a time loop is that he is always subconsciously preventing himself from moving on.

Charles decides to go to his father. TAMMY informs him, however, that finding his father is not part of the time loop. They are about to arrive at the hangar where Charles will be shot.
