* ArcWords: "What kind of maggot grows in the corpse of a day?" The first time Bina travels to the past, she finds these words written on the door of Josephine's office upon her return. The "corpse of a day" means that an entire day has been erased from existence, and the "maggot" is the EldritchAbomination that caused it. [[spoiler:When the Botfly is finally defeated and the paradox is destroying the time loop Bina is in, she sees that same door and writes these words on it.]]
