LOOP 1: DESPERATION SETS IN – AGE 2, FIRST GLIMMER OF CYCLE AWARENESS

  Loop 1 progressed:

  Age 2 – identical tantrums, same baby talk

  But amidst childish antics, eerie awareness seeped:

  Déjà vu moments – knowing what Mother would say next

  Father's anger triggers – anticipating his explosive rage

  Olivia's smile – feeling like we'd played together BEFORE

  My toddler mind reeled – grasping cycle fragments:

  This isn't my first time living this life.

  Something's wrong with Father.

  I must warn Mother… but how?

  First attempt to alter loop:

  Stuttered warning to Mother: 'Dada… bad!'

  She smiled, distracted – 'Who's a sweet boy?'

  Father overheard – eyes narrowing at me

  Loop 1 ended in horror:

  Father's rage unleashed – he slammed me into my crib!

  My tiny head hit hard – vision blurred, pain spiked

  Last sounds: Father's furious roar, Mother's terrified scream

  My small body went limp, life fading to black…

  MY LIFELESS BODY WENT STILL. AUTOMATIC RESET ACTIVATED… LOOP 1 COMPLETE. LOOP 2 INITIATED.

  Loop 2 begins with same innocent smile, same nursery rhymes playing…

  (The cycle restarts with slight variations…)
