Infinite loops are possible - will C ever be able to leave this place? He witnesses M leave the note again, but this time instead of watching her go, he immediately fishes out the note before the paint dries. C dies again, and ghost C watches as his younger ghostly self arrives again. Eventually realising the mortal C's death is imminent, ghost C collapses in a heap upon the piano, causing the noise that we saw at the beginning of the film. The history he felt the house had that he couldnt leave was his own ghostly presence haunting the couple. Centuries pass until C finds himself back in the house with M and his mortal self. C attempts to leave this mortal coil and jumps off, only to find himself hurtling through time back to when the first stake was put in the ground by the original settlers. It is knocked down and replaced by a skyscraper. Years drift on and the house is left in ruin. What can humans do to ensure they are remembered beyond their short time on this plane of existence? Time will pass beyond anything a human can create, no matter how great - including time itself. We only linger when one resident throws a party and a guest begins to deliberate on the futility of human legacy.
Guests come and go from the house, and C keeps trying to pry the note from the crack. Angered by the world moving on from him, he throws plates, flickers lights, and frightens the family into moving out. C becomes much more like the ghosts we expected back when we thought this was a horror movie. By the time he gets around to looking for the note, another family have moved in. C watches her go, but chooses to stay behind.
M has already discussed that she used to do this when she moved houses as a child, placing notes containing little things she wanted to remember around so that when she went back, there would be a little piece of her waiting. While prepping the house for sale, M writes a note, leaves it in a crack, then paints over it.
