I would recommend investigating what changes when you use a password. You might find you'll find additional hints or clues despite the problem at hand not necessarily having been solved. Always see the tragedies through to the end.
Ok so after investigating holy moly I found it!!! Btw it is not the word investigating as I just wrote the possible words that stick out the most and found it! Altho once I’m done with work I gotta check out how in the world I could save the Otter, since well...last time hearing about him was the maze clue (which tbh I don’t think it’s much of a spoiler since it’s vague) so I got zero clue if he’s truly alive once I go through the day finding out from the vault that Benson is gonna die or is already dead.
