The horror of this circular world lies in the complete collapse of free consciousness and free choice.

The purpose of the old Jonah is to maintain the cycle and end the cycle (he calls it the last cycle). Perhaps the purpose is very cruel, that is, to destroy the world, and then fundamentally end the cycle. This method is the most cruel and cruel. The old Jonah killed Martha, leaving the young Jonah behind: There are 3 possibilities: ① The young Jonah survived the explosion, but turned into the terrifying appearance of the old Jonah, otherwise he could not explain why the old Claudia Ya frequently crosses appearances like ordinary people. (Most likely) ② The young Jonah is no longer needed (the middle-aged Jonah will travel through time and space with Magnus and others, and the middle-aged Jonah will start the next cycle in order to save Martha to become the old Jonah). Least likely ③ Know that another Martha will come to rescue the young Jonah. (least likely)

The horror of this circular world is that the free consciousness and free choice I thought were completely collapsed, and the person involved did not know whether "my choice" had already happened, and whether everything I had done had been set. People who claim to change everything do the same thing when faced with the end of the world.

Here's a question: Why did middle-aged Jonah lock Martha in a warehouse instead of taking her away with a time machine? Even if you survive at the end of the world, the outside is still a mess, and the living environment is too poor. The only explanation is that the middle-aged Jonah should not make his own changes. The middle-aged Jonah has been carrying a gun. Oh, he has to make changes, but it was this change that led to the death of Martha, and to a certain extent, he should. In the play, you change "a grain of sand, and the whole world follows," so the world still runs as old Jonah set it.

The "Qi Liu Hai Masha" who came through may come from a world without Jona, the world Claudia has seen, where technology is more developed, and time travel machines have been made into small broken balls. Qi Liuhai and Martha came to rescue the young Jonah, indicating that there is still a turning point in this, breaking the cycle set by the old Jonah.

The explosion seems to be Charlotte and the mute Elizabeth's mother, and the mute Elizabeth and her own mother Charlotte. The identities of these two people are the most contradictory. Everyone else is a teenager, middle-aged, and old. Charlotte and Dumb Elizabeth are like chickens laying eggs, eggs laying chickens, and they are the center of the contradiction. It seems that the two people contacted each other under the channel opened by dark matter and caused an explosion.

In addition, the world seems to have changed, such as middle-aged Claudia saving her daughter, old Claudia saying sorry to her father, etc.
