OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
Looper Makes Time Travel a Body-Debt System
The premise makes time travel feel like debt collection. Contracts, aging bodies, cash, memory, and future violence all come due in the present.
Why it works
The loop-closing logic gives abstraction a physical bill. The same person can be employer, target, witness, and cost depending on where time places the body.
