I'm loving it! Quick question, can you get the guy out of the cage in the bandit camp?

Hey! I'm loving the new update! I just wanted to point out that a word is left out in Jayden's entry.
"The wolf has never much with Jayden but has seen him around the tavern enough to know him by name."
->
"The wolf has never talked much with Jayden but has seen him around the tavern enough to know him by name."
Victor's experience with rich people has been, for the most part, explicitly terrible. Why, then, would he not take a modicum amount of enjoyment from stealing from them? Morality is not black or white, and that is the dynamic of the duo. Cedric has seen both the good and the bad of the upper class but knows little, until recently, of the struggles of the poor. Victor is the other side of that coin. Victor isn't going to feel as bad about stealing from wealthy people who- from his perspective- faff about with piles of money to spare while people starve. Victor has been a thief for years to get by, while Cedric is just now starting. So, of course, their attitudes and emotional responses will be different.
I'm really glad I finally decided to read this, and I could hardly put it down once I'd started. This is quite an interesting story, and it's not lacking in the slightest in the intrigue department. As always, a good story makes you asks questions and this one certainly did that. I look forward to what the future brings for this VN, and if you've been holding off on reading it- here's the sign to start.
Current Scoreboard: (things in () are unofficial)
Xavier: 3 (+1 fooled Dorian about wing history, + 1 for wrinkle joke, + 1 nail polish)
Dorian: 1 (+ 1 gaydar for bat, +1 for form correction)
Raya: 1
I would LOVE an official scoreboard at some point.
Spoilers/theorycrafting crazy person:
I know Ben doesn't remember much of his nightmares/dreams, but he dreamed of Hernandez's death. He had a nightmare of being called to jump down to his death and then start floating down a river...... Not to mention the bridge scene from before. There were quite a few death messages from other characters too. I don't doubt that the suspicious person Zach saw may have had something to do with it (perhaps the white cream colored coat is a clue). However, since Zach heard the call, perhaps so did Hernandez and perhaps that's all it took. I know Chris looks sus with him having been held up, but I know he didn't do it. Since he apparently dreamt up Hernandez's speech, I'm surprised he didn't ask anyone if any of what he heard was true... Did she secretly join a group every year? Was that her favorite location? Was she on the board for its conservation? There was no way for him to have access to that information if it is true. I suppose that would just freak me out more, but at least I'd know I'm not entirely crazy, idk? My name is Ben, and I speak to the dead, or rather, they speak to me.
Spoilers:
I have to say that I'm a little disappointed that Haruki didn't make the difference in the end (I know they switched him out, but still). It makes sense that this last minute breakthrough wasn't enough to make them in sync to win on a narrative level, but I was still holding my breath the whole time. What came after made it all worth it though.
Also this is sus:
