Ok so from what I understand it’s from the system. I don’t think in any of the other loops the system actually showed itself. And she had more information this time around. Like of course she didn’t know they Ivonne was leila but she knew she just had to live.
And her soul being in another world is kinda like (from my opinion) is that because she has some resistance to the brainwashing her soul would gradually diminish the more she resisted it and died. After it became too much her soul was completely destroyed and it got scattered across the universe. Siyeon (her Korean counterpart) is actually her but just in a separate dimension where her soul ended up and healed.
I think I answered your question. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Omg THANKS that sums up everything (=・ω・=)
I have a doubt so um if penelope before and after is the same person i.e repeating the tragic loop how come she can do it now and not then? And if she really perished like perished+perished how come there's still some of her soul left in another world???
