Thinking about those ISAT fanfics where a post-loops Siffrin gets pulled into a "the whole party is looping except for Siffrin" AU and thinking about what would happen if an actively looping Siffrin was pulled into the AU and them experiencing a weird culture shock of the party actually knowing things and not making the mistakes they would have made in the loops without Siffrin's help.
Thinking about Mira barely glancing at the first sadness and just killing it in one hit, shocking Siffrin because she shouldn't be strong or confident enough to do that.
Thinking about Isabeau triggering the death corridor and Siffrin nearly getting crushed as they're walking over to the pillar.
Thinking about Siffrin being shocked at the picture again because Odile is the one to press the button instead.
Thinking about all the snacks being different because Bonnie got sick of the same foods over and over again and Siffrin tearing up because it's finally something different.
Thinking about Siffrin just generally having an existential crisis because of the differences between "things he did in the loops just because he was stuck in a time loop" and "things he did in the loops because he DIDNT CRABBING TELL ANYONE (in Bonnie's words)"
Thinking about if Loop also got pulled in and realizing that they could have made everything so much easier on themselves if they had just trusted their friends family party and how they instead made a desperate wish and ruined their happy ending.
Thinking about how the looping party probably has only gone through 20-30 loops before exhausting their options and making a wish because they had more people to bounce ideas off of compared to Siffrin who probably looped around 100-150 times before Act 5 (and probably reached upwards of 300 while grinding) and Loop who went through thousands before finally breaking.
Thinking about how simultaneously happy and stupid Sif and Loop would feel once the party finally figured out the reason for the loops.
Thinking about how Sif and Loop would go back to their original timelines after the party beat the king, thanking the group for all their help.
Thinking about how Siffrin would wake up back in the field and nervously tell his party about the loops and why they happened and even though the scars of his time in the loops would never fully fade, they would slowly start to ache less and less.
Thinking about how Loop would wake up back in the field and realize that they don't have to be Loop anymore and they can just go back to being Siffrin and Mira finding them sobbing in the grass because there's actually a way out and they can finally go back to their family AS themselves and not pretending to be some other Siffrin.
Thinking about three different versions of the same people in different worlds who all owe their happy endings to each other.
