So, some thoughts, which (if I'm right) might be spoilery...
Basically, both Yre and Mottom's tree being destroyed didn't happen in this turning of the wheel, which suggests other things to me...
spoiler
It's implied here that Yre doesn't happen, and Allison's lack of scars from the battle with Mottom also imply THAT didn't turn out the same way either. And Allison's soft belly suggests she's not training with White Chain.
What if this is a world where White Chain wasn't the angel that Allison first met? Or...what if White Chain chose her own path differently and thus isn't here with Allison? Because White Chain was going through SOME SHIT of her own during Allison's battle with Mottom. That was the part of White Chain's life when her mind was being turned inside out by Metatron's truth-lies.
Or...
What if, say, the roles of White Chain and maybe Delicious were swapped? So during the time where our Allison fought Mottom and White Chain accepted Juggernaut Star's demands to go back to Allison for 2 Michael and Metatron, something else happened?
Maybe instead of Delicious, White Chain was banished by Juggernaut's wheel to (eventually) become 83 White Chain, while Delicious was the one sent after Allison on behalf of 2 Michael?
Basically, I predict angel-related fuckery here, I just don't know what flavor.
During this page with Juggernaut Star - https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/wielder-of-names-5-85/ - Juggernaut tells White Chain that WC hasn't seen how "the wheel is spun".
This suggests to me that in THIS turn of the wheel, Allison might find an unlikely ally in Juggernaut Star, or another angel who IS aware of the wheel's turnings and isn't part of Gog-Agog.
Maybe it is indeed, White Chain, who is somehow made aware of the wheel's turning by Allison's deeds here (just as Allison is trying to open Cio's eyes), but maybe Delicious or Juggernaut Star fill White Chain's role instead.
Maybe we'll see White Chain as a full-on Thorn Knight...or, conversely, as a Petal Knight. Or maybe Allison will hop through turnings of the wheel and we'll see both!
Another difference could be that Incubus doesn't have a key--perhaps Maya still has it in this cycle?
It would be interesting to see what Allison would do if, in her "own" cycle, Cio became Nukoku and quite unlike herself which she finds very painful, while at the same time White Chain became humanish, but in THIS cycle Cio remained Cio, but White Chain became a "monster"?
I think if that happened Allison would try to save both...and because angels can become aware of the turning of the wheel, maybe it has an effect on White Chain in "our" cycle...
Anyway. I'm thinking so hard on these things because the seeds were planted long ago with (some) angels being aware of cycle-related fuckery, and now seems the right time to pull on those strings again for the current part of the story.
