Ron doesn't go into the lab because it is too painful. He just buries the time machine. What was actually happened to Regina? Did she really die or did she succeed in her last experiment? I would like to know whether she will come back, and I like to see that happeninglavkathleen wrote: ↑06 Nov 2020, 02:43To answer your questions:jhnews wrote: ↑05 Nov 2020, 23:32 Timewise by Robert Leet attempted to wrap up the story quickly, I felt.

1.) I love that a transgender character was part of the story; I wish she stayed and had a more important role, though. The ending given to her was concerning! I wish we knew what exactly happened.
2.) I've already mentioned that it was anticlimactic. It was such a waste.
3.) From my perspective, it did. She was already dying from radioactive poisoning, and I guess she also used that to do her (hypothetically) one last experiment—travelling through time herself. It made me sad but... what a way to go, if you ask me.
4.) I haven't thought about that, but that would've been practical and, as a reader, more satisfying. The only downside to that thought is that Ron is mathematician, not a physicist. He may have understood her work on an impressive level, but to continue Regina's work... you have to be Regina yourself or someone better. I guess he got rid of it as he wouldn't be able to continue and make more progress, anyway. Also, he's in too much pain to even go inside the lab.

Your last question has occurred in my mind too. Ron already knew what sort of a relationship that he had with Regina. Yet he decided to reveal his thoughts. Why?

Is Ron going to Reverse her death by traveling back into time to save her?

You point out something that always gets me too. I get super bored when stories become anticlimactic. Like when you can tell that the big ending is just going to fizzle out. I also agree that the idea of being terminally ill and getting the chance to try time travel interesting. I've always told my husband that I'd gladly let myself be shot into a black hole just to see what happens if I were terminally ill. Leaving on my own terms sounds better than dying in constant pain.lavkathleen wrote: ↑06 Nov 2020, 02:43To answer your questions:jhnews wrote: ↑05 Nov 2020, 23:32 Timewise by Robert Leet attempted to wrap up the story quickly, I felt.

I agree. I also was curious why the FBI was after her and if they ever caught up with herJoseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑07 Nov 2020, 14:05 Louise seems to be an interesting character. His/her lifestyle was a bit complicated. In my opinion, I would have preferred that Louise's story was pushed further and some of the physics topics reduced. Nevertheless, it did not affect my reading experience.

In response to Louise,
I feel like an idiot because of the way it was written (or maybe that's my opinion) I was confused at first because unless I'm mistaken, when Ron realized Louis was Louise...I remember it being written as he noticed she was "human" and female. Like she was actually a spirit like form or a part of his imagination. I don't know, maybe I was really tired and sleep deprived when reading that part. But she didn't immediately register to me through writing, oh she's a transgender woman. I'm happy for a transgender person to be featured, I just feel really dumb for not realizing it right away hah
