I mean, I think we have enough information to infer something at least, for me , a calamity is about to happen and the MC needs to be strong enough to face it, and since that doesn't work the first times, the shadow figure makes the MC meet scribbles so he can unlock his true potential and be strong enough, and Therium resets the "timeline" and repeats it all over every time the MC fails, but in the process Therium is forced to remember every timeline and well, he's going a little insane in the process for falling in love with the MC (because he doesn't seem to notice him unless an anomaly happens, he does something to our mind and then suddenly the option is there to follow his path, something that would not normally happen), I actually like him, I like crazy people, I wanna date him so hard with his mad red eyes damn.
