After all, AU is gold!
What is Augmented Unobtainium? It's Gold.
This book takes place during a timeline very close to that of The Other Side, and this is part of the suffering that Punis experienced.
Every time he interacted with Jessica, it was a scene out of The Scary Door (TJF1, Futurama reference) where another card was pulled from a deck that could not see the rest.
The idea and intent were to show the non-interlaced realities that Punis was living during the timeline of The Other Side. Things would happen in his life, like getting a new bed, and he would fantasize about seeing her again.
Don't think of these as loops, but a lineup of a deck of cards on a table, side by side. When you flip one over, you get a new reality. You flip over another card, another reality... The two cards know nothing of one another; they are independent of each other.
