Our Time Loop is Different: The Awesomeness that is "Mother of Learning"

"We have been outsmarted and nearly killed by a flower. We are never speaking about this again."

I really doubt Red Robe could be one of Z&Z classmates. Red Robe is definitely aggressive towards Zorian, he tried to "soul-kill" him. If Red Robe was a classmate he could easily calculate Zorian identity and assault him. Zorian is still alive therefore Red Robe is not a someone he contacts regularly.

Yeah, I think if Red Robe were anyone who actually knew Zorian, he would have noticed by the point of the Aranea massacre that Zorian's activities have been varying from one reset to another without the difference being caused by RR's or Zach's actions. That by itself would have given away that Zorian is another looper, and RR would have killed him in his sleep.
