#also bonus: loop knowing why siffrin cant ask so they ask a question that makes siffrin think about why instead of asking directly

[chronologically-challenged]

In the beginning Loop tells Siffrin that he can tell the party about the loops. There's nothing stopping them after all.

In act 3, Loop asks again, will you tell your party about the loops?

For both the answer is the same. They can handle it. Why would his party need to know?

In act 4, Loop doesn't ask Siffrin if he'll tell the party. The answer to that is pretty clear, but the thing is they also don't ask a different critical question: why won't Siffrin tell the party about the loops?

Except. There is an equivalent question.

"What will you do after the loops?"

When Siffrin is asked this, the screen goes dark. They blank, more than that, it may be an answer on its own. There is nothing beyond the loops.

Loop just remarks, "something for you to think about." Notably Siffrin doesn't comment on any of this at all. They don't want to think about it.

The answer to "why don't you tell them about the loops" is the same as "what are you going to do after the loops" in a way.

Telling the others about the loops means they may end, worse it may mean they hate Siffrin. And Siffrin can't let his family hate him. Because beyond the loops, beyond this journey, Siffrin has nothing. There is nothing for him to look forward to other than these moments again and again.

So Siffrin can't tell their family about the loops because if they know, everything could end. And what else do they have other than this half-life?
