   Summary

   Quartzite dies. And then they die again. Over and over they die, the loop running its course and dragging them to hell and back each time. Nobody believes them. Nobody knows.

   Or

   What would it be like to actually live through a time loop, dying and watching your friends die, seeing everything you’ve ever known and loved destroyed, and then coming back to a timeline where none of that ever happened but will happen again? How would the hatchling react in such a situation? How would it be being alone at the end of the universe, trapped watching its demise for eternity just after reaching what you’ve wanted your whole life?
