I remembered the thing, I forgot what's it called and I'm too lazy to change tab and search lol... u know, like in umbrella academy (the series in Netflix) where the time goes like linear or in a line, not a loop that goes in cycle, like what you changed in the past will change your future like in interstellar movie kinda thing.
In the linear way, they say that if you come back to past to change something, like you don't wanna live in the future or whatever so you make your parents not meet each other, but then, there will be NO FUTURE YOU doing that action; no you going back to the past from the future to change it. Do you get it?
Sooo, if there's no you, then there's nobody doing that action you change, it's kinda not concrete explanation of time travel or maybe I just forgot the whole thing since I watched the show like 2 years ago, and my memory's not really reliable... lol.
Anyway, why am I even explaining this TT??? It just came to mind, I guess. Still, the concept has a lot of holes, and I will watch that part again to see if they really explained it well. If not, then, meh, I just find it fascinating HAHA

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I see what you mean though. It’s definitely a fascinating concept LOL.
Although, for this particular story, I’m curious about what route the author is taking. Is it time travel, or is it more about creating a new timeline where he starts over? That part confuses me a little, but I still stand by my concern about how the original timeline is affected or not at all because he would probably be dead. Even if he starts over in a new timeline, he’s still gone in the original one. That loss makes me sad haha. I wonder if anyone else thinks about it this way, too. It’s such an emotional and complex idea:’)
What actually happened in another manga (BL that I don't really remember) is that it was explained that he traveled between dimensions, so it makes more sense for that to happen since in different dimensions there are different timeliness.
I try not to think too deep because we'll it sad to imagine that he still died in another timeliness and left Pado alone in the other one. But it would kind of explain why he thinks he didn't do anything to Pado and Pado remembers him pushing Pado away. Or it could be time travel in which case those days never happened but a ripple effect distorted everything and things happened differently.
I’m seeing people bring this up so I just need to rant a lil I’ve been thinking about the idea of alternative timelines, especially in stories where a person dies and then ends up in a different timeline. It’s almost like getting a 2nd chance, but not exactly?? What really gets to me about this trope is that even though the person gets a “new life” in another timeline, they’re still gone in the original one. That hurts me because, in those timelines, they no longer exist, and I can’t help but wonder what a partner, friends, and family would think or feel about that loss..is that just me?
Maybe I don’t fully understand how timelines are supposed to work—like, am I missing something?—but the whole concept feels painful to me. It’s the same with time travel. I don’t really believe in time travel, and I struggle to wrap my head around it. If you could travel through time, would anything really change? It seems like such a massive “main character” kind of thing to do, but wouldn’t it ripple out and affect everyone else too? It’s strange to me that these stories often overlook that part. Anyways, this thought is kind of ruining the story for me
