Holdup. I may have just figured this sh** out. Hear me out. She succeeds in making Uichi happy, and she's happy too, but then she has to go to the hospital to get treated. Because Uichi is happy, he forgets Yotsuha, and then starts dating another person, living life as if all of Yotsuha's work amounted to nothing for her, only heartbreak beyond repair. Because after all, she did do this for him to be happy but also so she could be with him. So when she finds out she's been betrayed, she goes back in time, and she becomes the mastermind. She may be trying to kill Uichi, but maybe her main goal is to get her past self away from Uichi, trying to prevent the future pain the past Yotsuha will feel. That's why the pfp of the mastermind is a clover. Think about it. She knows all of the family members and the people capable of harming Uichi already because of her past self trying to protect him. I'm cooking. But will the dish come out well?

@Ryson Let's hope the chef doesn't burn it!
@Ryson i hope not fr D:
@Ryson but you forget that the matermind seemed suprised on the phone when he heard about the watch
@Ryson It's possible, and I kind of like it as an idea. Some things that need to be explained for it to work:
- A future version of her wouldn't have a functional watch.
- How are they operating concurrently? She has yet to encounter any version of herself in any capacity, including favorable. She's been desperate. If she could overlap with herself, why hasn't she used this already? This seems like something her time power can't do. It seems to put her "back in time" with memories intact, not her physical body.
- Wouldn't a future version of herself try for something OTHER than either "he forgets her" or "he kills himself"? Both of these betray the nature of their promise.
Maybe it could be some kind of "multiple timelines from scre**** with the watch so much converge" style thing, where she competes with a different, vengeful version of herself doing the same thing with bad intentions. It seems like the antagonist has too much of a knowledge advantage in this case, though.
