I'm still a little confused about when Made in Heaven "restarts" the universe by that unrealistic reason. I get how it's supposed to work, but if everyones destiny is the same, even Pucci couldn't change it. Everything would continue being the same forever, in an endless accelerating loop. It would be a nightmare. Certainly not heaven. I hope the author can explain something a little better. But I guess Part 7 would be technically still a continuation of part 6 if Johny is a relative of Jolyne/Irene? If Pucci was right, which in the series he would have been, than it's not really much of an alternate universe at all, and is just continueing the events as if nothing had happened, but 2 "universal cycles" in the future. And peoples lives are different because they knew what would have happened? The whole cycle thing is bull, because even if the universe eventually started a new cycle, their would be new souls, and potentially different people and events, nothing like the previous one. But this is fiction, so we must try to make sense of it as we can. I think it might be simpler just to think of it as the same universe, with the "history repeats itself" idea.
