Question: does Anomaly have consciousness?

Anomaly could through them into thousands times and unverses. It could through them 100 years back. It could through them into 100 other places on continents, not just stuck to Piltover.

Why Ekko&Heim together but Jayce separate?

Why Ekko is 3 years late vs Heim?

Why on runeterra exactly these places?

Why Ekko was in a rush to return, if Heim was already 3 years here and nothing happened? Like - he should assume "okay, its 3 years since we teleported. Means - in my universe Jinx is 3 years older, Scar, kids etc. And all of them get used to live without me. Few more weeks being here woulnd't make a difference."

I mean - assuming that its just randomly happened that Jayce&Co were sent to these exact time&place spots - isn't realistic. There has to be a reason why anomaly picked specifically these spots.

Do we believe it was Viktor behind it? So behind Ekko&Heim too? Why? Is Viktor a passionate Timebomb shipper etc? :) Did he saw 100500 verses and knew that this is the only where Ekko create a superweapon to bonk the Viktor in main verse?

Or is it just plot-driven?
