Time travel can save dt.

[KisaiTenshi]

Unfortunately the game have dabbled in both notable time-travel patterns, closed-loop (elpis/alexander) and alternate timelines (crystal tower) so anything goes by now.

The thing is, the reflections are "alternative" timelines already. The CT exists in the source and the first, in the exact same place on the map. We basically (or retroconn'd) the 1.0 opening cutscene and characters as having "always" been the first. The rest of the cutscene was basically a flash-sideways to the source.

Reconciling this is still possible to do. But it does establish that all the reflections MUST be identical geography.
