I'm glad you enjoyed the series. Mirall and CC are best girls for sure.
Haha the CC AI is very freaky, I asked her so many questions including the date on which I would receive an important phone call and she actually got the exact date right, very weird and freaky. So if she says the new game will be about romancing demons then I guess she knows something I don't haha
My favorite CC conversation is this one :
She is correcting me on my own lore, such a sigma haha
Questions on the story lore....
So the whole time branches idea, is "Alex" the original version of the MC? Is that even a valid question, an original version? Which version created the TSR that eventually allowed Mirrall to go back in time? It doesn't seem like it was "Alex" since he ascended prior to Mirrall's birth. I am leaning "the kid" being the father Mirrall is familiar with? At some point Mirrall had a dad but it wasn't Alex, correct?
Apologies if I missed this or it was already covered. Feel free to discard or shrug on these questions. Just mussing instead of working
This is actually a great question and there is a big foreshadowing in '' Happiness 1'' regarding it that seems everyone missed it.
The theory the series follows is the ''multiverse theory'' ( every choice you make has its own timeline)
So Future Alex created the TSR version 1 in the future ( a device able to only transfer you to the timeline the SEED of the time branches exist in)
Meanwhile, the Butterfly created the TSR version 2 ( a better device able to transfer you to any timeline you want )
Future Alex noticed that the Butterfly was deleting time branches and set a mission for himself to stop him but Butterfly killed him. Mirall found future Alex's body and vowed to finish his mission to stop Butterfly.
Then the events of ''Happiness 1'' happened and all timelines were destroyed.
Alex fell on his knees and begged for a chance to re-create the timelines and to save his daughter. The ''SYSTEM'' listened to his plead and Alex became the new God of time.
Because of these events, Alex was sent into a different timeline ( a timeline where he defeated butterfly and met Mirall when he was a teen)
So basically we are now in a completely different timeline than the one where Alex creates TSR version 1 and are killed by Butterfly.
But that said Alex says something important in ''Happiness 1'', exactly in the beach scene with Mirall.
Mirall says she will go to the future and kills Butterfly before he murders future Alex but he tells her that you can't defeat destiny and what's fated to happen will happen and no matter what you do the dead will stay dead.
This was a big foreshadowing that the series will end with Alex's death and that ever since the events of ''Happiness 1'' he was a dead man living on borrowed time granted to him by the ''SYSTEM''.
