Beautifully said Silvachief and now that I had a few days to calm down from the events in the game lol. I understand you see...for me to personally have such strong emotions about Sumika's experiences is a reflection of something hidden in me. Perhaps I subconsciously feel(understand) as she does violated, something taken away from me, undeserving and etc. I just had a hard time looking at that shadow aspect of myself. Thank you~ Wait.. That Gouda guy was from another game? I had a feeling about that..Perhaps Gouda is fighting the Beta in another universe of his own~ Nightbane112, you're right, those experiences are still hanging around. The way I seen the whole quantum mechanics and worlds(etc.) is that Takeru's soul has all his memories from ALL worlds. In MLA ending when he was getting all teary eyed at seeing his friends again supports that idea of the memories still being around. I thought the Alternate timeline was different from the chronicles one which is a continuation of unlimited e_e?? anyway if age really wanted to continue the Alternate they kinda could >_> either from the world Takeru is in now or the one he saved for 20 years more. Of course I'm not sure how good it'll be... Now I'm imagining the Beta attacking modern day earth and probably having Takeru be in his final college years or something....nvm thinking about it too much.
