I think its bc the timeline is changing and it seems that new guy knows the mc so its not rlly that much of a coincidence either….
The new guy could know the MC, but I'm confused about why we didn't get any dialogue from him (MC) talking about this new guy he hasn't seen in past timelines. When he sees this new guy, he genuinely doesn't know him but doesn't question it.
I think mc never met this new guy bc in all the other timelines he never skipped class to hang out with the ml. This is the first time he had to come to the saturday morning class, which made the teacher ask mc to talk to the new guy
WAITT THIS MIGHT BE IT
If our mc has experienced his senior year multiple times, how come he doesn’t know the new guy in his art class?
