In more detail...
In Chapter VII, the Time Traveller experiences shock and panic when he realizes that his time machine is missing from its hiding spot. Overcome with dread at the thought of being trapped permanently in this future era, he frantically searches the area and interrogates the Eloi, only to face their incomprehension and even disdain. This leads to a moment of despair and madness throughout the night, as he fails to understand how the machine could have been moved. His sense of loneliness and alienation peaks as he accepts his predicament and begins to consider learning more about this new world, its inhabitants, and the perplexing disappearance of his invention. He ends his tumultuous night with a weary awakening, a sense of resignation, and an ironic laughter at the paradox of his efforts to reach the future, now desperately seeking a return to his own time.
