The only thing I can find in that tangle that isn't Baron or Device is something blurry towards the top left of the cluster; just to the left of the Baron who appears to be balancing the device on one finger. But it's so blurry that I have no idea what it is; except that it doesn't seem to be Mama Gkika, who ought to be there.

And nearly all the iterations appear to have either thrown the device away or to be trying to catch it. But what that means I also don't know.

Is it a still of one baron frantically running around and trying to slap the device away? Or a bunch of minutely different timelines? Is the time frozen to stop him from throwing it? Nobody knows!

Maybe it's an additional Baron for each x amount of time that should have passed -- in other words, maybe the time stop's not complete for the Baron, who's at the center of it?

And maybe only the most recent one will survive being taken out of the time stop?

-- the device they tried to pull out says 2 on it. The one the Baron was holding when he set it off said 5.

Maybe a countdown timer? But I don't know whether any of them would say + anything. There might just be hordes of them that say 0.

That page also raises the question whether there's still a general Gkika somewhere in that Klaustrophilic mess ...

With infinite realities there may be several Gkikas in there, maybe the odd Tarvek.  (And possibly one Klaus with a turquoise blue beehive.)
Mayyybe there's an undamaged portal amongst them with half an Agatha in it?

Not sure why there wouldn't be infinite Gkikas, though. Maybe she wasn't quite close enough to the device?

I would like to see Klaus with a turquoise blue beehive.

(I would also like a different reality right now, please. Though if that theory's right, it would sure explain a lot. Somebody (somebodies) would have to be in this one, after all.)
