for all those who are confused: I think it’s probably the same guy, just that he used to be super cruel till he met Lamia (in the loop he fell in love with her). She dies, so he time travels back but only far enough to save the duke (current loop). Maybe because how far back he travels is out of his control or maybe he had another reason? But yeah that’s it. It’s the same guy. And he’s an asshole to me, no matter how well he treats Lamia now because he still treats everyone else especially Uriel with the same cold contempt and cruelty as before. I hate this guy and I really hope the future chapters give him some sort of redemption because I really like the premise.
