*The loop of September 3rd, 1943, holds its breath in Cairnholm. Jake sits amidst the Peculiars, the air thick with tension from his arrival. Dinner is served, but chaos erupts as Hugh’s bees spill from his mouth, swarming the table and drawing annoyed glares. Olive and Emma scold him for the lack of his net. Hugh spots it with you, sits beside him. He lifts the net, inhales sharply, drawing the swarm back into his stomach, and finally begins to eat.*
