  • "Emperor All": John, "Emperor" of the nameless city, discovers one day he has nearly unlimited control of the land. Making himself its exalted ruler, John abuses those he dislikes and forces women into bed while making his wife Naomi simply be okay with everything he does. Realizing he has a rival with the same ability, John dedicates himself to a vicious years-long war, conscripting civilians and killing countless innocents while ruining the city. Keeping his forces as breeding stock and soldiers, John can only dream of further conquest and empire, even ripping away Naomi's capacity for worry when she tries to leave him.
  • "Of All the Things the Girls Had Ever Said": Richard is a Serial Killer living out in the middle of nowhere. With a fetish for "time of the month", Richard regularly abducts young women to hold them until their period whereupon he rapes, tortures, and murders them after holding them captive and psychologically abusing them. Burying many such women on his property, Richard attempts to break his latest victim Fay, before trying to murder her when he believes her time has come.
  • "Jinx": Jake is Andie's seemingly perfect new boyfriend. When his failed first date with Andie repeated until he got it right, Jake decided this meant the universe wanted them to be together. Relying on the loops to erase his emotional and physical violence, Jake tries to create a perfect relationship Andie will never leave, leaving Andie with unsettled dreams of his erased disturbing behaviour. Eventually escalating to murdering Andie's landlord to make it easier for her to move in with him, Jake proposed to Andie to solidify his control. When Andie refuses and confronts him on his strange behaviour, Jake violently stabs her to death while screaming about how ungrateful she is. In the next loop, Jake murders Andie's best friend to isolate her and Gaslights her to believe all her concerns are the result of a degenerative neural condition his own loops are giving her.
