The Alex tale does not do the former, as far as I can tell. Did Alex kill (or let die) millions of alternate lives and worlds to calculate his results via alternate timelines? Did the WoL die over and over before the true ending happened? (if there are answers, please tell me... its questions like these that make me shove Alex into 'fun fights, but ignore the story' in my brain, unlike the rest of the games story.

And, yes, I know the Echo isn't time travel. Viewing the past is fine, but doing so and not being aware what you are viewing is the past is not. It only confuses the narrative, at least to me. Maybe playing through the events (of 1.0) made sense, but reading about them only makes me confused. Also, Echo with in an Echo just... makes even more confusion.
