I could have thought about a plot hole if it was about a piece of info contained in the myth against another in another card or main story. Inside the myth itself? I don't think I've ever seen the writers fumble, they tend to be very careful and deliberate with their wording (when they're not jumping through fire rings to avoid the pseudo-incest allegations).
When Caleb tells me he doesn't remember me and then I find out from a third party narration that the chip can't actually do the wipe out, what comes automatically to me is "Oh so he lied"
Maybe I'm quick to think that because I'm so used to Rafayel gaslighting MC every two days lol
I totally get you on the fact that the temporary amnesia trope would fall a bit flat because of it. I still dig it a lot because it would perfectly parallel how they're both treating each other: Caleb lies to MC by making her think he doesn't remember anything (or if we buy into the fact that at the beginning he's confused or whatever, he definitely remembers by the time they're at the amusement park and starts pretending he still hasn't recovered his memories), and MC lies to Caleb by telling him that their relationship is way more romantically developed than it actually is. And he can't call her on her bluff because he would automatically out himself too.
I still might be entirely wrong though! This is what sounds more convincing to me, but I'm a sucker for temporary-amnesia and would be just as happy if it turned out that this dude is somehow reprogramming himself to fall in love with MC every single time he loses his past.
- X-02 has the most insane oath attack too, on top of being overall a thing of beauty.
(fun fact: the choice of the name of my MC is because when I joined the game Caleb's limited myth was the ongoing banner and I still hadn't thought about a proper name and didn't want to think too long because I just wanted to jump in so I saw Decoherence's trailer, went "Oh, Nier Automata vibes" and rolled with it lol)
