What we’re seeing in the last two chapters is actually the same event from Chapter 1. The in-game Seonwoo was being investigated by the ML for allegedly being a spy. (Remember when the ML wondered, “How does this guy know my name?” after they bumped into each other?) During that interrogation, Earth Seonwoo was suddenly transferred into the in-game Seonwoo’s body.
In short, after Earth Seonwoo died, he didn’t return to his original body. Instead, his data remained hidden somewhere within the system alongside the watch. That’s why he was able to witness the in-game Seonwoo’s timeline, almost like he was a glitch in the system.
When the ML regressed and reset the timeline, the system pulled Earth Seonwoo’s hidden data back into the game. He returned to the very first moment they met, with no memory of where he was or what had happened. This time, however, instead of being taken in for interrogation, he was greeted with flowers, showing that the ML had remembered everything and chose to change their first meeting.
Basically, the ML regressed and turned back time.
