Excerpt:
I didn\\u2019t panic right away when Violeta said she had succeeded in building a working time machine.

All of her inventions worked. All of them. But all her other inventions were a lot less\\u2026ambitious.

I mean, a time machine. That\\u2019s the ultimate invention, isn\\u2019t it?

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. Central image with a top and bottom border to make the format square. A woman seen from knees up, stands facing and looking forward, leaning against a multicolored jukebox at right. Her right thumb is hooked in her belt, which is hung with a few tools and devices, and her left elbow rests on the jukebox, arm bent.\\xa0 One brow and the corner of her mouth are raised. In the background are splashes of color that match the jukebox\\u2019s colors.
