Carl and Donut walk through the floating Iowa chunk while fighting off zombie farm animals. Donut complains that the crawl keeps reusing undead enemies, but Carl realizes she is trying to distract him from the emotional weight of reaching the trailer connected to his father.

At the trailer yard, Carl sees his father’s motorcycle beside a vending-machine-like device advertising one fight for nine tokens. The silhouette on the machine resembles Carl’s father, and Donut’s comments about the resemblance unsettle Carl. Carl notices that the yard is wrong: unlike the surrounding winter-transferred Iowa, this patch has summer weeds, dust, flowers, and clean splice lines.

Carl and Donut determine that the trailer yard has been inserted from a different time instance. Cut-off objects, duplicated bicycles, and mismatched boundaries show that this rectangular patch was deliberately spliced into the current floor. Carl suspects the crawl’s designers want him to witness something specific from his father’s life.

Carl examines and loots the yard, including his father’s prized Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Unlike ordinary floor loot, the motorcycle enters Carl’s permanent inventory category for bad transportation items, suggesting objects from this inserted time can be kept. Carl also notices carefully labeled flower pots with feminine handwriting, implying a presence or history in the yard that does not fit his father alone.

After Donut activates the fight with the tokens, Carl receives warnings: the fight will begin in forty-two minutes and thirty seconds, the area exists in a different time instance, and physical interactions here behave differently. Donut urges Carl that he can wait outside instead of entering, but Carl decides he needs to face whatever the trailer contains. He leaves Donut and Mongo outside, enters the trailer alone, and closes the door.
