## Story

> Following an uncomfortably close encounter with a trap, party leader Siffrin discovers they are actually stuck in a time loop, able to start the day over again with nobody else the wiser.
>
> But what seems like a handy trick to ensure victory quickly begins to weigh on Siffrin as he experiences the loop over and over with no end in sight. Unwilling to open up to their friends and companions, and with the literal weight of the world on their shoulders, can Siffrin find a way to break the loop before it breaks him?
