It wasn't hard to guess what might have happened in the alternate world Ruby Vaiva came from before her time travel. The absence of Cecilia was the primary variable, the empty space around which all other differences arranged themselves.
There was no Cecilia, so the Saintess was always Ruby from the start. Arkai Dawnoro and Oathran Alicei would die, and it was just one of the facts in history, names in chronicles, casualties of fates that had concluded without intervention.
But what about Damon and Angela Iondora?
Angela would've still done what she did, even without knowing Cecilia and becoming her best friend. The scandal, the imprisonment, these were expressions of her nature, not responses to external friendship.
Damon too, would've done what he did. The parallel empire, the shadow throne, the performance of difficulty that concealed functional necessity.
