I'm trying to understand why Ahmet didn't bring Lili with him to the future? During the entire season, he emphasised how he didn't have enough time with her because of certain circumstances (i.e. his age, her tuberculosis, and wrong timing), so he blames himself for not staying when he could've saved her.
When they part, his answer that his time is no better than hers is absurd, considering the fact that she was kidnapped and almost killed within the last 24 hours-- I'm pretty sure 2022 is definitely better.
I know Ahmet doesn't approve of Halit travelling to the future either, but isn't it the simplest solution to everyone's problems? Lili would have access to modern medicine, she'd be free to pursue whatever she wants, and be happy and safe. And Halit can be with Esra, because he's proven time and time again that nothing else matters but her.
The world didn't collapse into itself when Halit disappeared for more than a decade - it was simply ruled out as a disappearance. And he assimilated into the '40s quite easily, so why can't it be the same in 2022 with Lili and Halit?
What is the point in Ahmet saying he would never leave Lili's side again, only to do exactly that in the finale? Am I crazy in thinking that he's being really stupid? There's so much unnecessary heartbreak between the two couples this season.

Midnight at the Pera Palace (100 Years of Modern Turkey)
This one goes to the two Turks in my life (that I know of) one is a nice puppeteer friend whom I was honored to marry to her husband at the marionette cottage in Central Park a few years back. The other is a pen pal who lives in Turkey and is the most devoted scholar and promoter of the work of Jerry Lewis, quite possibly, in the world (for real!). And, then, there’s Bea Benaderet, the one…

Ahmet, each time Esra wants to “stay a bit longer” and alter the timeline to look for her mum/reunite with her lover:

I finally finished S2 Pera Palace and I'm.... speechless. I have tears streaming down my face, but I'm also so confused? I really hope they explain this mess and somehow keep Esra and Halit together... but I don't see that happening realistically.

Esra: *staring at a portrait of herself*
Halit: I asked Abidin to paint me the picture of love. He did.

“Does fate have nothing better to do than helping resolve your childhood trauma?”
Ahmet is already so done with Esra’s shenanigans and like he’s so real for that
