*spoiler screenshot!!!*
I’ve already been thinking about this a while ago before the leaks and the official release, since the end of chapter 111 of TBHK, that in order to change the present… a thread for the new chapter and theory for future chapters
the clockkeepers obviously had to go back in time and remove or prevent one event from even happening. It’s either, they went back to when Kou and Nene entered the Red House, where little Tsukasa was held in, or, they went back to when Tsukasa met “It”.
But I wouldn’t want to hang on the fact that the section action was put in place, since, if they did, for say, prevented Tsukasa from making his wish, it would have been a possibility of Amane dying from his condition.
But even so, I’d say even doing that, but Amane somehow survived and didn’t die in the time the doctor had predicted that he would reach, and therefore, results in Amane dying anyways, but in the near future. He’s able to become an adult, and teach.
Amane tho in that adult timeline, dies from his childhood disease early.
If they had decided to go back to when Kou and Nene entered the Red House, then they’d would have prevented them from entering it, and therefore, little Tsukasa would have never thought about returning back to his family, like he had said he would do since the things Kou and Nenesaid. Tsukasa still doesn’t seem to appear in this chapter, so I’d expect they chose the Red House incident. Or, maybe some other event.
Tsukasa is the ”butterfly effect”. So therefore, removing him from the picture was the only option and possible way for a better present.
We see that Mei and Mitsuba are alive. We don’t see Sakura or Natsuhiko though. Because Tsukasa had used to be there, SakuHito wouldn’t be present then either.
It’s still sad to know that Amane dies either way, but I feel as if (well it’s obvious ain’t it?) that Nene would regain her full memories of the old present, and confront the clock keepers. I would say, most terrifyingly, that she may have to destroy their yorishiro in order to go back to the old present. But if somehow in this new present, she can talk to Hanako? Then the confession? They’d probably bring up a Tsukasa mention, a cameo even. But if they avoid fixing anything, then this new present would be good.
But if for some reason Nene wants to have everyone’s memories back and be able to remember each other… thats a 50/50 chance of ever happening id suspect…
All I know is that it depends on how both Nene and Hanako, and maybe even Teru and Akane, about Tsukasa not being able to live in a better present with everyone else.
But going back to preventing the “It” confrontation, Tsukasa wouldn’t be able to make that wish so it wouldn’t make sense to not see hin either way in the present. He’d have to be there. So I’m scratching that out as a possibility of a change for a new present.
So they’d probably prevented the Red House incident… thats the only thing i know theyd have to stop. If theres another event that had a big effect, then theyd have to change that.
Lost my train of thought so end of post
