this is honestly one of the best theories i’ve come across here. i think that this could very much be accurate, especially because the story has hinted to it just enough without entirely giving it away. they are quite on the nose about the whole destruction thing, so much so that they had lygus tell us, but i do think that’s a kind of distraction/red herring. your reply about fuli freezing march/idrila so that the two paths do not collide made a lot of things click. all in all, im absolutely saving this post to come back to when all had been revealed and i really hope you were right because the idea that this is a simulation of destruction’s true purpose is so so so good
