oh ok that thing
got it
the way time works where im from is kind of like that too
except we have one timeline called the alpha timeline which contains all the events that have to happen
basically all of reality relies of a shitton of stable time loops so if something goes wrong it means they cant be completed
and a failed time loop means a paradox
and a paradox means a doomed timeline
so every alternate timeline but the alpha is like slated to end
people in it die and thats that
i was a time player so basically it was my job to ensure some of those loops get completed the right way
your version sounds better if im being honest

[She reads, considers what he's saying. And it makes a certain deal of sense. All of the timelines that ended with Dio's antimatter bombs going off, or with just a handful of them escaping, or being trapped in the bunker with all of them infected with Radical-6...

What happened to those timelines? Theoretically they'd just keep going, but without them all in it. And yet.]

For all I know that's possibly even what the older Sigma and Akane were trying to do. Create a new alpha timeline of sorts in our world, only one where the majority of humanity lives instead of dies.

She didn't exactly take the time to thoroughly explain herself before sending us back. It may even be beyond our scientific ability to prove at this point, as much science as we can apply to this kind of thing.

damn
id try to offer advice but ive got none
i couldnt change the alpha
only do what was needed to try to make it go the way it had to
since it turns out trying to change the past generally just made it go the way it was supposed to in the first place
i dont have that kind of experience with a bunch of alternate timelines either
ive only been through two of them and both went off the rails for different reasons
but were also necessary for the alpha in the end so go figure how it all slots together
for what its worth i hope there is some way to fix your world and that you guys find it
