[ Welcome to The Magicians, where everything is terrible and etc.
Maybe she can try taking hers apart later, see what she can glean from it. ]
If time weren't obviously progressing, I'd say that sounds like a time loop. [ Real time loops are exhausting for people who can remember them. Fogg seems like he was done long before timeline 40.
Sighing, she crosses her arms— more like hugging herself, really— and spares a glance to make sure no one's staring. The last thing she wants is to become the subject of neighborhood gossip. ]
It's the same story for all of us, isn't it. Wake up in a house filled with pictures and mementos of this entire life you supposedly lead, and everyone thinks you just moved here.
[ It's a question, but if she intones it like one, she's liable to start getting even more tense. She's not sure her body can handle that without ending up with her causing a scene, and again, the less people here take note of her, the better. ]
