Thank you! I'll correct those errors right away :D

Oh, um, there isn't a time loop. What happens is that when you put on his shoes, his soul transfers (the sole holds his soul). For some reason when that happens, everyone starts to perceive the person wearing the shoes as him. Christoph is slowly taking over. I hinted at it in the restaurant when Jason gets there he appears to be Christoph to the waiter/diner guy, but he starts out sounding like himself. I tried to show what was going on in that he sounds like Christoph when he leaves. I further hinted at it when he was climbing the stairs with the line, "By the time that he reached the final floor, he was a different person entirely."

I wanted the stair ascension to be symbolic of Jason Marlow becoming no more/dying, at that point it's Christoph Laurie who is in control. At the end, we're meant to find out that Christoph has come back before and had his shoes stolen multiple times. The bodies that were buried stopped appearing to be him to other people because his shoes had been stolen from them. I hope that makes some sense.
