>>55053814>>55054447Yo, I think I get it now, thanks anon(s). Although I think there's more than just Timeline A and B, it could even have way, way more layers, like 10 or more. Maybe the Violet/Scarlet book was very barren at first and then kept getting more through the professor's influence or some bullshit (like adding more paradox mons) by going through several loops. Could even be the reason why the copies of the book had blurry text on the page about Terapagos, something about the timeloop is distorting it or whatever.
Anyway, point is, the professor that we met at the lake is definitely not the same professor that died in our timeline, or at least won't end up the same once they're back. The prof gave us their unique(!) copy of the book - the very same book that, in our timeline, Arven personally has given us. It even has the exact same item description. And that book was made the literal key to stop the time machine. The prof has made it the key (since they still had it) and we used it to stop the machine, using the mechanism they created.
In our timeline, Arven has found it in the lighthouse lab which, again, means that the professor of our timeline did NOT give it away - even though they definitely had Briar's book. Otherwise the note in the depths wouldn't exist in our timeline. But it wasn't us that gave him Briar's book, it was either someone else or another iteration of us.
God, this shit is insane. I'm not even mad that they barely explained shit because this is so interesting and fucked up. I couldn't believe when I saw Turo in front of me.
How many fucking loops are there? Are we stuck in a loop? What is Terapagos endgoal? Is it going through timeloops to "fix" history? Is it trying to make the world a better place by changing timelines? Is it just fucking around? It's so fucking strange and makes barely any fucking sense.
But I love it. And I hope that we maybe created a second timeline where Arven gets a happier life.
