I thought it’s just a prototype which was sent to him as an example.
I also first thought a little about the colours but didn’t think they mean more.

After that, I would say. Boris death happens in the present while Franklin’s flashback was in the past.
Here a list of some of the events:
- • the fire in the factory was 20 years ago
- • Ransome’s flashback was 9 years ago
- • Delores’ flashback was a few years ago
- • Franklin died a few weeks ago.
- • Chuck’s funeral was a few days ago.
- • Boris died 24 hours ago (the night before)
- • The current year is 1987
