6* If you manage to go back in time and put Stefan's toy under his bed in the hopes of saving his mother, you find out it was all for nothing: [[ShaggyDogStory she was always going to miss her train and have to take the later one.]] No matter what you do, she's going to die in the crash. The only thing you can do is decide whether Stefan dies with her.
7** Choosing to go with her results in both of them dying offscreen. When we cut back to the present, [[YourMindMakesItReal Stefan has died in his therapist's office]], [[MindScrew seemingly for no reason]]. The story ends with his therapist in shock and his father sobbing over his body.
8--->'''Haynes:''' I don't understand, he was just sitting there. He closed his eyes for a few moments. He just closed his eyes. All he did was close his eyes...
9* There is absolutely no way for Stefan to succeed. Ever. Him doing the most sensible thing and taking the job offer leads to delivering ChristmasRushed drivel. Any other attempt at making his dream project come true causes ''equally terrible results''. Not even [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity ending in prison]] or [[DeadArtistsAreBetter dying]] in the process seems to matter, because his game is either trashed in the reviews for being unfinished mess ''or'' pulled from stores.
