i know that from 1.0 you can interact with the echo, but its very rare, there was one mission where while in the echo you are address and spoken to, and then explained that it could happen. is the shiny us, the manifestation of us in the echo we are having in the present(cutscene moment) if so, when did we get the googles? is it broken lore?? if not then is us from the future having another echo with cid, where we do have the googles in the inventory and we travel back to give him his googles, knowing , from the current echo that we HAD to go back and give them thoes googles to start the chain of events that make cid become who he is in the past AND also remember who he was in the present.

we are just missing the future part of the lore i guess, cause i hope it wasent a writers mistake
