[Sloth has descended] (II)

Ruby's POV:

"I wonder if it's too soon for this to happen,"

[Well, this world and timeline are new, like a blank canvas,] Nyx replied. "It's unlikely that the previous experiences will be similar to what's to come."

"That seems to be the case on my end," I said. "Have there been any changes in the galactical  castle?"

[almost everything seems to be the same,] Nyx said. [They followed the same narrative structure as in previous regressions. However, there is one change. In the previous iterations, I never encountered someone called 'the jester' in the Beyonder's banquet. His details are cloudy and unknown, and I can't even look into his past or close future. I'm not even sure if I met him before in the previous Beyonder's banquets,] Nyx responded with a tinge of doubt and self-loathing for forgetting.

As I processed Nyx's information, it dawned on me that the mysterious jester must be a new variable in this iteration.
