I just finished the Sparks DLC
>!I'm Assuming the Sparks timeline is one of the "Very first" timelines that the 2 butterflies made Because the ruling was barely mentioned so I assume it wasn't as bad!<
>!My assumption is that Nicole and Mark get "Closer" every new Cycle they do, in the Sparks timeline (which I assume is one of the very first) Nicole and Marks relationship was iffy, they didn't communicate and they stagnated, while in Act 1 and Act 2 they did try to communicate!<
>!I think, while they both don't have memories of the past loops, they subconsciously "know" what they should do, like growing as people but not having memories of what made them grow!<
>!I first had this idea during the Act 3 ending where after the "Spirit world" or whatever you call it Nicole and Mark knew what they should do the moment they got back to the New Timeline, Nicole instantly went to Kate to fix their friendship and Mark was even MORE motivated to go find Cathy even tho he Just found out his mom died, even when both of them Have no Memory of the things in the "Spirit world" that made them realize what they should actually do to overcome their Issues!<
But hey I could be wrong :p
