What would have happened if she had opened transparent envelope #2 instead of burning it after having already discovered that opaque envelope #2 was not empty?
Just before she is able to open the envelope, a freak magical-electrical accident sends a shower of sparks down, setting it alight. Or some other thing necessiated by Time to ensure that the loop is consistent. Similar kinds of problems to what would happen if Harry was more committed to not copying “DO NOT MESS WITH TIME”.

Only William Newcomb knows the answer.
The answer looks something like “if she had been planning to do that, the opaque envelope would have been empty”.
Specifically, what if she had also been planning to do the opposite if it had been empty?
Had she been the sort to do that, Omega wouldn’t have made her the offer in the first place.
This must be why Omega never visits me.
Her grandfather kills her before she can kill him.
