Yeah I kinda hated what came after this point. Punishing mark by putting him back 5 years in the future to see his daughter older was already a punch in the gut, then the whole Eve dating an alien just added insult to injury. That part I felt was pretty unnecessary, Terra was enough imo

One of the core themes of the story is that every action has a consequence/cost to it. This just kinda reinforces that. And think about how the book ends, he gets to spend functionally the remainder of eternity with his wife and daughter making the universe a better place.
