I know there are people here who are resistant to the idea, but I strongly suspect that the Professors are going to set up a time loop that ties causality in knots.
Lucrezia IS the Other -- and she's also other characters, due to her mind transfer ability. And I think that via time travel the Other will CAUSE Lucrezia to become the Other and to set the whole scenario in motion.
(But what happened to Lucrezia's original body? Is thee still hope thatshe -- that paticular "she" -- might be a Good Guy?)
The whole issue of cause and effect will become meaningless -- there'll only be "what happened/is happening/will happen" as a single ball of spaghetti.
As an example, a prediction: The Heterodyne Device, which provides an invisibility shield, is also a power source. I think it's the essentially infinite power source needed by the Time Window, which is more likely a Time Gate. And who made it? Nobody! At the end of the story, Agatha will decide that time travel technology is too dangerous to keep around. So she'll make sure that nobody can use it for other shenanigans, by sending the Heterodyne Device back to a curio shop in Paris, where university student Gilgamesh Wulfenbach will notice it and buy it.
