worldbuilding / self-lore

yes, the laws of conservation of energy and mass exist in Kaito's world

yes, Kaito's quasi-shapeshifting do not respect them and, in fact, actively defy them

the laws are just a trait of how the "world" is programmed and Kaito is under no obligation to respect them when they're essentially injecting their own code/data into the system

time travel exists in Kaito's world but it's useless for all the things you'd probably want to use it for

you could, in theory, load a backup of the entire world into a separate instance of the world's "program" and explore it

but not only can you not guarantee that the actions that occurred in that sub-world after you started running it were identical to what happened in the "canonical" version of events

you also obviously can't make any changes that would propagate

having said that it *is* still useful to recover things thought to be lost to time, lost films and technology, etc.

it turns out the main instance of the "world" keeps backups daily at 00:00 UTC±0 so time-travelling is thus locked to one-day spans all starting at that time

your traditional sorts of magic do exist in Kaito's world

it just turns out that they're programmed in to either the world itself or objects/people within that world, nonstandard actions or series of events that have responses or effects other than the expected norm
