Chapter 1: Curtis

Chapter Text

In some ways it's hardest with Curtis.

There's so much pain ahead of him, but no way to avoid it.

He's the most important because to protect him is to protect Alisha; and he's the least important, because Simon can't bring himself to so much as save Nikki for him.

He wants to, or rather, he wants to want to, but he's aware that every time the gun is aimed at Nathan's chest, he warns him and lets Nikki fall.

In penance, he always starts each loop by searching every local theatre group and university until he finds Lola. He feels guilty afterwards, but not as much as he should.

He doesn't feel even slightly guilty at what he does to the sports trainer.
