why Daniella pushes east: she herself, being me, is infected by my dreams of going to Central Asia to find a girl; which I only have because of Daniella’s time in Central Asia and Hannah’s search

Another time loop: Daniella just doesn’t realize where her desires to go to places like Romania, Georgia, and Kyrgyzstan are coming from

Hannah replicates my experience in Freiburg: in many ways but not all, Hannah is me in Freiburg: a happier version of me, but still she stands in for many of my experiences and even replicates my trips. Hence her fantasies about Daniella bled into me: remember eventually Hannah effectively merges with me.
