- The whole thing's a fucking ouroboros loop
It could very well be! It would tie very neatly into the mythology and religious background it uses as reference (all things I'll love to send your way once you've cleared the main content)
- the combination of Caleb and the girlfriend made the Deepspace Tunnel somehow
That's also a theory I could easily buy into.
- what if the boyfriends are other aspects of that core
On one hand, I have to remind myself this is an otome and they're not trying to bring all the 5 LIs together at once, assuming that MC romances 1 as her Ultimate Soulmate, and all the others are dear friends. On the other I have to wonder why them specifically. The more content is revealed, the more it's clear that these dudes are not normal dudes, and there's a reason why them and only them end up tied to MC. So we could really end up with a Sailor Moon situation lol
- the boyfriends need to have their aether core complete
The problem is: only Sylus officially has an aether core inside himself
- separated by literal distance and not time?
Because Xav is 200 something years after the birth of Philos (in the anecdote where he meets MC for the first time she narrates "It was the Year 214. Two hundred and fourteen years have passed since Philos' birth. It also means 214 years have passed since Earth's demise."), whereas Abysswalker is 30000 years after the seas dried up on Philos. Unless two different parts of the planet count days in a completely different way (and have astronomically different geological situations), Abysswalker is in the distant future. Same way we can assume Caleb's limited myth is also in the distant future, because the technology and the political situation is so different compared to Xav's who is the closest to the foundation of the planet.
- there's no reason not to think that Philos' avatar couldn't spawn multiple fragments in different places, trying to attract its other, lost pieces back to itself.
This is entirely possible and most likely the reason for the multiverse we're in. MC is spawning simultaneously in different timelines. But we still don't know if Philos is trying to attract MC back into itself. We do know now that MC's heart can work as a battery (which is also what she was supposed to do as the follower of the Sea God, feed the flame).
