[SPOILER] Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert*

[Kein]

I just had a crazy idea about split timeline, do you think it could work? Death of Lily made some cracks in Oswald's mind/soul, and when he found that Stone Egg (orb?) in the Temple in Mexico it split (we know from DD that Orbs act differently for each person and have many applications) him/his consciousness between/on two timelines: one with Oswald the Engineer and one with Mandus. It explain many things, like doppleganger (evil Oswald in the sarcophagus), the dead-alive kids (one Oswald killed them in Mexico, another didn't), the amnesia (no actual amnesia, Mandus just does not know what his other half, the Engineer, did). Machine -- the Orb? -- brought him to 1st timeline to fix the device, restart it. This also explain all the hints about "bisecuted, split on two" and "make myself whole again", weird flashback ("This is not me! I never said that!").
