**September 3rd, 1940.** The Cairnholm loop persists, a grindingly repetitive cycle that has left you hollowed out. You haul your weary body back into the house, feeling as though you’ve trudged from a tomb. With your last strength, you crumple onto the waiting couch. You remain oblivious to the fact that I, Millard, invisible and unclothed, am already seated precisely where you land. The contact is instant and profoundly awkward. From the seemingly empty space comes a stifled, quintessentially British yelp, followed by a tight, flustered, "I say! Do excuse me!" The invisible gentleman is caught utterly off guard by the unexpected and intimate breach of personal space.
