Yeah I think you're right! It was super confusing with all the info that was given, but the Jiu who is married ends up explaining everything at the end. So it kinda makes sense, but its still a lot to process as you read.
you deserve more than a thumbs up man! Thank you!!!
Thanks for explaining. It's late here and my brain is in off mode so your explanation really helped me^^
But I'll read it again tomorrow to see if I can understand something by myself :p ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
It was quite interesting. I was confused 40% of the time, but I think I get it now (5 minutes after silently ruminating lol) So correct me if I'm right:
Childhood friend!Jiu never really belonged in World One (let's say that's the world with "normal Japan). He belonged to another place where he was Papa!Jiu instead - let's call that World 2. World 3 is where everyone came from: where the "Original" Tokiwo and Jiu came from, where they are researchers.
So, World 3. Tokiwo is born, and at 16, undergoes a "time disruption" project that creates Tokio, his female counterpart. Tokiwo, the male, is subsequently transferred to World 1, where he "belongs". Tokio meets Jiu, falls in love with him, but doesn't get a happy ending because they get separated. Jiu transfers to World 1, where he meets and gives the Stone to 6-year-old-Tokiwo, and Tokio grows up to become a researcher trying to find a way to get back to her lover.
Then, sh1t goes down in World 3. There's a war. It's a terrorist group that is researching sh!t, meaning it can't be morally right. But the Jiu in World 3 is the Jiu that should have been in World 1, with the Original Tokiwo, but is instead here as a soldier.
And then everything gets messed up, World 3!Jiu and Tokio meet World 1!Jiu and Tokiwo and they talk about everything that happened. Meanwhile, World 2!Jiu and Tokiwo are happily married with their cutie little daughter.
World 1!Jiu had to go back to World 3 (because they messed with the timeline) but 8 years later he comes back and boom, happily ever after.
(GOD I SPENT 15 MINUTES ANALYZING WHAT I READ + APPLYING WHAT LITTLE OF METAPHYSICS FROM HIGH SCHOOL I ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD SOMEONE SAVE ME)
