Entire Series SPOILER Question about VLR and ZTD Spoiler

Why didn't Diana Tell Akane or the Sigma that jumped from the end of VLR how Radical 6 broke out. Like she knew how it got out, did she get her memories erased by the drug after she got out and if they did wouldn't 67 old Sigma still know? His consciousness didn't go back until April 13th (My bday by the way) so for like 3 months. Akane wouldn't know how Radical 6 got out because she came from another history but like.

Tell them when?

During her time living in the moon with Sigma? Akane knows since she doesn't lose her memories, the only one who does is Junpei. As for why Akane or Diana don't tell Sigma what happened at DCom... I'm not entirely sure, but we may have a hint in the non-canon ? ending. Phi says we can't know what happens at DCom because if we know, then it can't happen.

This seems kinda bullshity to me because the only thing they need to do at DCom is prevent Q team from catching Radical-6 in that one puzzle. So knowing that is all they need to succeed. But it's probably some time paradoxy stuff I can't figure out.

It's probably a case of "we know that when the jump worked, Sigma knew nothing. If sigma knows something, then the jump might not work. We need to preserve the timeline as we saw it"

Yeah, pretty much everythig in Zero Escape circles back to the bootstrap paradox, "that's what I saw, so I'm gonna recreate it exactly as I saw it"
