[ he makes a frustrated noise. ]

Can't rule anything out, I'm afraid. There’s no disproving in science — you can only ever prove your theory. [ he tips his hand this way and that, bagged food still clutched in his fingers, even as he indicates his uncertainty. ] Retrograde, post-traumatic, or dissociative amnesia have merit as theories. perhaps individuals were specifically stripped of their memories through outside meddling.

[ their captors are prone to meddling, it must be said ]

We've all travelled through spacetime, regardless — from 1891, 2017, Earth, other planets, and so on — to now, here. [ that seems substantiated by the multiple accounts of divergent universes. ] If it is a case of our friends being pulled from earlier points, it could be that the inconsistencies right themselves in some way through further interference. [ so this never happens etc etc. ] Could also be that our friends are from a parallel timeline — a parallel universe, even, rather than the ones that perfectly match our own.

[ if it's not amnesia, it's that. you can't change time. it just is, so any discrepancies indicate one of many the infinite, parallel universes. ]
