Bob finds himself in an odd situation. It seems that today is starting off the exact same way as yesterday. Same song on the radio, same noise from outside, same comments from Alice. Although confused, he goes about his day, and goes to bed at the end of it. And then he wakes up to the same song. Bob appears to be in a Groundhog Day Loop, and luckily enough for him, there's a distinct event at the beginning of each cycle that tells him this!
A Groundhog Day Loop is often be identified by the presence of several odd little events that are given full camera focus, yet don't have any apparent significance or relation to anything else. These are, of course, the events that will later be replayed in exactly the same order to emphasize that the day is, in fact, repeating in every particular. Occasionally, the looping character will at some point demonstrate his or her "prescience" by offhandedly predicting these events one after another.
