* '''Implied:''' Alice mutters "not this again..." at some misfortunate event like she's seen it before and seems to have uncanny knowledge of future events, but it's not clear whether this is just coincidence (it could just be Alice being tired at similar but not literally the same events, for example), time-lioping, or some other supernatural explanation like being able to see the future.

* '''Reconstructed:''' Bob is able to explain to Alice that he went through a ton of loops, and through some actions he took once he got out it becomes clear that the time loops Bob went through caused him to change into a better person than he was before, at least in some ways. For Alice, it's like meeting a new person, which opens the possibility of falling in love with Bob again.

* '''Deconstructed:''' ???

to:

* '''Deconstructed:''' ???Alice is alarmed by the fact that her husband, Bob has woke up a completely different person to the man she fell in love with. Bob has been in a time loop for several decades and has used the time to pick up new hobbies and grow and change as a person. The sudden change is too much for Alice who doesn’t understand how Bob has these new skills that he had no previous experience in. She considers getting a divorce.
