maybe NOT a paradox??
they could've died from that demon irl since they're all depressed in shit BUTT past kyle met them half a year before the scenario and kyle had that "you're the bravest and you'll save the world" thing so maybe it IS a PARADOX? the story page isn't like the other story pages after all the story objective was vastly different from the others so it might be a time travelling gate instead of an archived record of a memory
eh who am i kidding it's an ai translation ofc it'd be confusing

HOLYYY SHIT KYLE WENT INTO ARON'S STORY LIKE ALICE DID IN WONDERLAND, LIKE ALICE IN THE FUTURE CREATED A PARADOX TO MEET THE MAD HATTER IN THE PAST, KYLE IN THE FUTURE SET THE PATH FOR ARON (WHICH IS WHY HE'S CALLED WOLF HATTER IN THE CREDITS)
