When I was doing the commentary video of "Source Code", there was a line in it that impressed Roland deeply.

It's not the unknown future that scares you, it's the repetition of past mistakes. ’

Why do many people fantasize about being able to do it all over again?

Isn't it the choice made back then that makes me feel stupid now?

Time loops are the perfect solution to this problem.

When you are well prepared, most of the problems that bother you will be solved.

Roland thought that he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life when he entered the time loop.

But when he analyzed the conditions for leaving the time loop, he suddenly fell into self-autism.

If he has a way to win the project "Home Alone", then he has to learn other knowledge of!

became an instant hit, film contracts followed, the accumulation process of primitive capital was erased in an instant, and next, he could do whatever he wanted.

But alas—

Even if you become a Shilipo Sword God, you have practiced to the full level in the novice village, and after you go out-

Still can't leverage capital.

It's a sad story.

The time loop can help Roland learn skills that he didn't have and give him the knowledge he will use in the future, but it's not a panacea, and you want to get John Hughes to give up Macaulay Culkin in a short period of time?

Do you think of John Hughes as a time-perceiving Dormammu?

Or do you think Elizabeth, who is not yet a year old, is Wanda?

"That's a bit of a cheat! The time loop can help me learn and improve, but the key to breaking the time loop is related to the old business of capital kidnapping? Let me get John Hughes? It's more difficult than convincing David to convince me that I'm a time-traveler and invest in me! ”

In fact, when Roland first learned that he was 'reborn', his heart was actually happy.

He felt that this might be his own plug-in.

But now, when he figured out his situation, he was a little speechless.

He thinks that it is not a good choice to enter the industry at his current age?

Sorry, the time loop told him what a real Ming-style domineering president is.

I don't want you to think, I want me to feel!

I think you can handle John Hughes, so—

Come on, New Year!

Thinking of the evil smiling face of the sect leader, Roland shuddered.

He also wanted to figure out how to fool David and let him buy all kinds of professional books for himself in the time loop.

But now—

It's all for nothing.

If he can't solve the problem of leaving, then what's the point of him repeating the same day?

Isn't this a disguised sentence for him to be wifeless?

After thinking about it seriously and not finding a hard bug in his analysis, Roland sighed discouragedly, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and then sat on the steps in front of his house, blowing the wind.

It's still quite cool in Los Angeles in January.

The sea breeze blew, whisking through the leaves, rustling, just like his chaotic mood at the moment.

Unable to find a clue, he sat there like this, until the hands on his watch quietly walked towards seven o'clock, and the sound of a bang pulled his thoughts back.

Turning his head, he saw that the little chubby pier who lived in the next room was rushing out of the house in the form of a meat bullet chariot.

When the guy with the green hat climbed over the courtyard and hurried all the way, trying to rush up the steps and knock on the door, the lone figure that 'suddenly' appeared, like a ghost, and directly startled him who was unprepared.

If it weren't for Roland's quick eyes, he pulled the other party.

James may really fall three meters away this time.

"Roland, why are you hiding here?"

"Are you trying to scare me?"

A slightly angry and panicked question made Roland roll his eyes.

He's sitting on his doorstep.

Moreover, there was no cover other than a fence.

In this case, James can be frightened by him, which can only be said that he did not see the road.

Although Roland was able to clarify the problem, he did not enjoy the ease of his tongue.

What's the point of losing James and putting the blame for being scared onto the other party?

This, in turn, does not change the conditions under which he leaves the time loop.

shrugged his shoulders, took the initiative to buckle the black pot on his back, and after apologizing to the other party, the two left together.

As on the previous two occasions, when he entered the house, Roland saw the postman who drove as fiercely as Donald.

Because he had been prepared, he had witnessed with his own eyes this time, how this guy drifted and parked.

He took the newspaper, went into the house, ate breakfast quietly, accepted David's offer, and went to audition.

This time, Roland did not say hello to his 'old friend' Leslie, but quietly accepted the fact that the audition failed.

Maybe it was because Roland was too calm, or maybe the audition didn't meet David's expectations, so after leaving the Fox set, David, who was close to his friend's son, directly found a McDonald's all year round.

"Whatever you want to eat, order it yourself."

"But when you get back, don't tell James about them."

David put his hands in his pockets and squeezed his eyes at Roland with a smile, which also made Roland smile bitterly.

In David's view, Roland is a child, and even if he is extremely restrained, he still has the possibility of being tempted by junk food.

If it was a non-time loop state, Roland might have shook his head and vetoed it, but now-

He gave up on himself and ordered a bunch.

Looking at Roland, who was holding a cheeseburger and gnawing endlessly, and David, who was holding his cheek with one hand, he was smoking Coke without a mouthful.

He's organizing his own language, and he wants to have a good conversation with Roland.

When the sound of sucking out of food and the echo drilled into his ears, Roland on the opposite side was also full.

"Do you want more?"

Roland shook his head.

"Shall we talk then?"

The prepared Roland did not make a sound, and nodded silently.

Seeing this, David put down the Coke glass, folded his hands, leaned forward, and naturally slammed his elbows on the table.

"When I went out in the morning, I heard James say that when he went to call you this morning, he saw you sitting on the steps of the door?"

"Do you have something on your mind?"

"Can you tell me about it?"

The snooping eyes, full of intellectual curiosity, made Roland, who was leaning back in his seat, purse his lips.

Although he didn't know when James shook all this to David, judging from the current situation, that little fat dun should have said a lot to his father when he wasn't paying attention.

What exactly did they say?

Do these matter?

Unimportant.

Anyway, I'll sleep tonight and forget about it tomorrow.

Seeing that Roland didn't mean to respond, David was not discouraged, but took a deep breath, looked directly at Roland with sincere eyes, and said to himself.

"Roland, I-I've wanted to talk to you for a long time."

"It's like this, alone."

"I don't know what you think of me and Garnetty, but I have to admit that the death of your parents does have something to do with us, and if it weren't for us cutting the ribbon in the past, they wouldn't have left like this."

"Ganetti and I have always felt guilty about this matter, so after the incident, we got in touch with you as soon as possible, and found someone to complete all the formalities, hoping to keep you around."

"I know it's cruel to make you make a decision about whether to follow or not to follow your parents when they died, but these things have to be done, because all the problems they left behind need to be solved."

"Do you understand?"

Hearing David mention 'his' parents, Roland, on the other hand, nodded.

This is a topic that he has tried to avoid since he crossed over.

For him, the memories in his head are like a wandering eye, and there is no real feeling.

This kind of thing that obviously belongs to him, but has never experienced it personally, is the 'past' that he does not want to mention.

After all, it's a lot of mistakes.

But—David clearly didn't think so.

When Roland only showed frustration when the first audition failed, David took the initiative to comfort him, and while he was not paying attention, he informed the family members of the audition results, and at dinner, no one asked about it.

When the second audition failed, because Roland showed that he didn't care, David didn't greet him in advance, but instructed his wife to ask about it at the dinner table, wanting Roland to tell everything calmly.

David's performance was actually based on Roland's mood after the audition.

This man who is worth a lot of money really cares about Roland's feelings.

Looking at the patient, smiling, and willing to listen to the guy in front of him, Roland sighed.

Although he understood that as long as he remained silent, David would not embarrass himself.

As soon as tonight passes, everything will go straight back.

But—

Silence alone is not a problem!

What's more, even if he was decadent hundreds of times in the time loop and drank beer every day, he wouldn't be able to become Thor!

Even if it was an impossible goal to get rid of Macaulay, then he had to give it a try, right?

And in the face of such an impossible task, he felt that he really needed a helper.

A——

Able to understand time loops and trust their helpers.

Thinking of this, Roland had no scruples.

"Okay David, before I talk about it, I want to ask you a question."

Although Roland omitted the title of uncle, David was not angry, but was very happy.

As long as Roland is willing to communicate, what are these things?

"You say, Roland." David nodded.

"Can I trust you?" Roland asked seriously.

"Of course." David replied cleanly.

"How?" Roland leaned forward, his eyes staring straight at the other.

"Because Ganetti and I have broken the law for you."

The persecutive questioning did not put any pressure on David, and he shrugged his shoulders lightly, and he replied with a smile: "According to the law, children under the age of twelve cannot be left alone at home. ”

"But we let you live in your own home."

"Although it is the same courtyard and our two families share an entrance gate, it is also illegal."

"If someone from the Children's Protection Association came to check on me, I would be in very big trouble."

"But in order to take care of your feelings, we know the law."

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Satisfied?

Roland was certainly satisfied.

If this is a video game, then David's sincerity bar is obviously full.

That being the case, then—

"I see, Uncle David."

"Tomorrow morning at six o'clock, I'll go look for you."
