>>56935400>It's two seperate eventsNTA but look this is what's happening
>professor is pulled to the present>you and professor meet>you two swap books>the professor goes on to cause the events of the main gameThis is the event that we see but you're saying that it played out like this before
>professor is pulled to the present>you and professor meet>you give the white book to the professor>the professor goes on to cause the events of the main gameAnd then this leads into the top green text.
In other words, it's literally the exact same event occurring at the exact same time but randomly for no reason whatsoever the professor, not you, decide to trade books instead of you gifting it to them and that would be the reason the second timeline would exist, it wouldn't exist before the change happened which you seem to think.
A child could understand this, so why don't you?
I'll even draw a shitty paint diagram for you just to make it clear.
