Episode 09

-------------

What do you know...I was 90% right. Guess it's because of my "irrational" hate that I wasn't completely correct.

Kyouya made everyone mediocre with his "help." He's successful at a mid-tier company and as a well-known fixer (such amazing talents including telling someone you're coming in 30 minutes so they can be presentable for business discussion). Even Kawasegawa is mediocre thanks to his influence in this timeline (though I don't think I can make the stretch that him being available to fix things for her team is why she became "defanged").

He openly states he stole their dreams, and ended up being the only one happy.

And sure enough, when he realizes it, falling right into the trash with depression again...

We can also guess who Minori Ayaka used to idolize.
