When Sean and the crew rolled back, it was already the next evening.

Sean and Matthew were chilling at the door, while Alexander was half-sprawled in a rocking chair. He had someone snag it yesterday 'cause he couldn't stand the tree stumps at Casey's place. Right then, Alexander was whittling away at a piece of wood. It was already looking kinda human-shaped.
