Part 6: “Mirella and Vincent/file corruption”

Part 6, Chapter 1 Summary

This chapter follows Gaspery and Zoey after they walk away from the tree that Olive is under. They hide from patrols in a now-closed restaurant doorway. Zoey asks why Gaspery broke the rules, and he said he couldn’t stop himself from warning her. Zoey says his actions didn’t affect the Time Institute, but she advises him to take out his tracker and stay in this time so she can visit him. He asks what she would do, and she replies that she’d try to “solve the anomaly” (201). She sends a new destination to his device for him to continue the investigation and uses her device to leave.

Part 6, Chapter 2 Summary

Gaspery, on the beach in Caiette in 1994, reflects on the location’s similarities and differences from when he saw it in 1912 as the priest. The ocean causes him to think about a picture of the ocean his mother had. Gaspery walks to the maple tree clearing in the forest and waits for Vincent, hiding in the bushes. The forest noises make him anxious. In the afternoon, Vincent (13 years old) films the scene that her brother shows at his concert in New York.

When her camera angles up, “reality broke” (204).
