...I like time travel shenanigans, but yeah, I'm also starting to get a headache.
I'm not sure this needs to be explained persay. There is enough room to assume that in the timeline Crystal Exarch comes from, your particular WoL was not chosen by Hydaelyn because you made it into the past. In SHB, they explained that when the meteor showers occured (vestiges of the Final Days), people around the world awakened to the echo. At least on the First, you know this happened several times in history. I would imagine the same applies to the Source.

If you make the assumption that Hydaelyn was just reaching out to people at random in that timeline, there's enough room to assume she just hit your WoL too. I think alot of people are hung on the fact that Hydaelyn refers to you as her chosen, but that you had to have gone back into the past to be "chosen". But that's not necessarily true as evidenced by many others having the Echo simultaneously on the Source / First.
