I keep on thinking what Zorian would do if he were stuck in a soft fantasy time loop (a la Groundhog Day or Supernatural's "Mystery Spot" episode) and I'm amused/worried about how he would absolutely go insane.
Initially hes going through it with suspicion and caution, and then after enough loops pass he would try to get down to the bottom of the mechanics and why he's stuck there. And with an answer that didn't have any scientific, political, existential, or tactical reason, he would explode.
"What do you mean this time loop was made just for me to 'learn a lesson???' I'm supposed to be a better person/make peace with death of someone else/find true love/[insert reason here]? You could've just talked to me!"
[Zorian then proceeds to invent a way to bust out of the loop while avoiding the lesson just to spite the architect of the loops.]
