Summary
To be in love in general is to accept that your sanity has betrayed you. You can lose a lot in life, after all. Your life, your mind, your– dubiously intact– innocence. The worst kind of loss though is the acceptance that you are not special. You, like everyone else in this terrible, mortifying love story, are a loser. Nothing more, nothing less.
Kaoru spends a year becoming something entirely beneath him: a teenager with a crush.

Summary
You and Odile on the other side….
For you, it was a constant mockery of the very same god that thought so lowly of yourself and your culture. The god that basically bragged to you that they knew how the loops would end, but continued to let yourself and your family suffer through them for their own entertainment. The constant pain you felt knowing how easily they could dismiss you and your beliefs based purely on the fact that it was so powerful it destroyed itself and its entire existence.
But you were fine!
Siffrin suddenly realizes they have a whole culture they left behind. The rest of Vaugarde doesn't seem to care.

Summary
Three years have passed since the King was defeated and Vaugarde was saved. Mirabelle spent those years helping around the country, but she’s been putting off her pilgrimage long enough.
The reason for her pilgrimage is a little... unorthodox, however. She's looking for someone, and all she has is a vague description, the name of a Mwudu university, bare strokes of a plan, and the mirror picture she's kept in her pocket since finding it on Siffrin's bed in the infirmary. No one knows where they disappeared to after he collapsed right after the battle with the King, but if Mirabelle's right, if she finds Siffrin in Mwudu, then...
She's... not sure. She wants answers. She knows that much, but the answers turn out to be more complicated than she'd thought to imagine.
A housemaiden should know how to let go, but sometimes it's important to know when to hold on tight.

Summary
"But I would do anything to protect all of you. Horrible things, to be honest, as long as I could be sure you were all safe."
---
Housemaiden Mirabelle wouldn't have been the first person you killed for the King's wish, but she could've been the last. (Should've been. Would've been, if you were better at your job!) But a missed opportunity last month, a second's hesitation last week, a very stupid failure this morning, and now you're tied to a blinding tree in the middle of her party's camp with an injured leg.
And... well... you're not stupid. The question here isn't whether they'll kill you or not. It's what they'll do to you first.
You have information they could use, after all.

Summary
The room you’re in is dark. There’s a bed underneath you. Where are you now? The night before the House might be the answer—
No, that was looong past now, wasn’t it? You got out, didn’t you? This isn’t real, you must be having some strange… dream.
Your eye sees your hands. No, no no no no no! Those aren’t your hands, not anymore!~
So then WHY ARE THEY ATTACHED TO YOU RIGHT NOW.
(Or: the Universe took "I'll join you and become one?" in a very different direction than desired by any parties involved)

Summary
In an alternate act five, Siffrin breaks in a different way than canon.
He and Loop go around and around and around. They both know what wish was made. They both know what traps them here. They both know what the condition is which, upon reaching the Head Housemaiden, so guttingly fails to be fulfilled. But Loop won't say it outright. And Siffrin won't look at it.
Until, eventually, there's nowhere left to look.

Summary
Mirabelle is stuck in a time loop, all the way back in Dormont. She’s the only one looping and no matter how hard she tries to convince her friends of what’s going on, they just brush it off as her being over-anxious as always. She can’t seem to make much progress through the House of Change in her attempts to defeat the King and save Vaugarde, her one and only mission that she was “blessed by the Change God” to fulfill. She’s been stuck for a long time now, almost twenty loops! Oh, Change, how is someone like her supposed to do this alone?!? She just wants someone else to believe her when she tells them about the time loop, someone who can help her figure out how to escape! If only there was a person who knew a whole lot about time loops who could help.
If you're not careful, homesickness will drag you back…

Summary
"If, on the contrary, two stars should really be situated very near each other, and at the same time so far insulated as not to be materially affected by the attractions of neighbouring stars, they will then compose a separate system, and remain united by the bond of their own mutual gravitation towards each other. This should be called a real double star; and any two stars that are thus mutually connected, form the binary sidereal system which we are now to consider." - Sir William Herschel
After saving Vaugarde and leaving Dormont, Siffrin makes another wish... Loop is forced to deal with the consequences

Summary
You're jealous. You're jealous of your own blinding Sadness. It waltzed right into your camp like it isn't something awful made of everything wrong with you and– and it, wretched inhuman thing that it is, has the guts that you never did. And it's spilling them all over.
Everyone but the kid seems casually horrified. Whether that's because it's you or because it's a Sadness, you'll never bring yourself to ask.
(Mal du Pays appears pre-canon! Yay!)

Summary
Nothing changes in the loops. Nothing changes at all. Nothing is supposed to change.
Except for Isabeau. Just one thing changes about him, and it's that he keeps coughing, keeps losing his breath. And it's getting worse.
What... what happens when it gets too bad? When it knocks him off his feet at the start of every loop? When it threatens to kill him?
You had eternity, didn't you?

Summary
Loop's wish has different wording, and this makes a few things a little different. Mostly it means the Researcher of the group is now looping, while Stardust remains blissfully ignorant. This is certainly the main difference noticed by Loop, who looks at the evidence before then before assuming they're to play stagehand to the Researcher solving of the mystery in record time.
But roles are tricky. Very nearly tricky as wishes.
Sponsor, stagehand, lead actor, audience, critic, fool, traveler, ex-scissor wizard turned star - how absurd for a human to contort themselves to fit a single 'role'! How cruel to for a person to find that no role they can Change themselves enough to fit!
Ah, but there's no time to wallowing, not when you've one more wish to make - one more desperate GRAB at hope for the play ending, now the greatest ever cosmic joke has been replaced by a smarter actor then you could become even after a million loops.
One, two, THREE - breath in…and out, take a bow to the audience and ready yourself.
The show has once again begun ~ !
