Unlike before, this particular location happens to be situated in a most desolate locale, an abandoned holiday theme park rotting away along a lonely stretch of highway in the Arizona desert.

Profound loss and the passionless hands on a clock have delivered Tate Addison back to where he started, alone on a desolate beach in Fuerteventura. There before him, rotting in the placid tide, his first of many methods of transport is nearly gone now, a tormented metal skeleton, telltale proof of how nothing escapes relentless years, at least not without help from a series of well-placed dimensional doorways.
