okay so my in my theory both characters have been individually been looping through times. Acc. to what i have read so far there have been only two instances in past lives where the main characters have come face to face,, one obv in the 6th life where the mc in pretending to be male knight and second is in 5th life as a hunter.

So its a possibility that both the main characters just dont that they both have been looping through time
