What's really going on
The room turns Jim's teenage self into something physical: "You literally have every shirt you wore in high school still," Amanda says, and each one becomes a small argument about who he was. The joking is comfortable, almost practiced, but it keeps circling the same thing — how much of that past is still alive in him. When Amanda reaches the notebook, the register shifts. He says "That's private property," half-teasing, and she reads anyway, because the poem inside is addressed to her, or to a name that happens to be hers: "My lips said hello my friend but my heart said hello my future." The awkwardness of old desire meets the reality of two people who didn't end up together. The time capsule isn't just his clothes; it's the version of Jim that loved her.

Whose old things are they going through?

A love poem. It includes lines like "My lips said hello my friend but my heart said hello my future" and a closing line about being ripped in half, and the name in it is Amanda.
