Its currently 3am so im js yapping theorising that since they regress each time ML dies then maybe it has something to do with a wish perhaps..? Also it is unknown how far they regress when ml dies maybe it could be different causes each time,
Maybe the scars on the top's body indicates how many times he's regressed and since he's regressed so many times he's practically lost his sanity and memorised each scenerio
I also think it's the first time they made it this far hence he's unsure. And maybe he didn't wanna be too kind to ml bcz they get together each time and ml ends up sacrificing himself multiple times for others which would explain why he constantly reminded ml not to trust others too much or sacrifice himself (but in one of the chapers ml says "get the hell away from me" to the top in his flashback so idk maybe im js dumb[i am])
