(SPOILERS!)
I CANT BELIEVE TRAVIS WAS THE ONE WHO STOLE OUR ROOM KEY
(SPOILERS!!)
During Rune's route, Arvo, Rune, Mikko, Travis, Lake, and Torulf will play the game Never Have I Ever to pass the time. When it's your turn and you choose the 'Never have I ever stolen anything' option, Travis will be the only one to admit that he has stolen something before. He did it because, and I quote: "I had a friend who wanted to get back with their old friend, and I felt they needed a small nudge. So to help him I took something from that person for a while... but as soon as I noticed it wasn't working I returned it."
Obviously, the 'friend' Travis is referring to is Mikko, and who else is Mikko's old friend but Arvo? And the item Travis stole is without a doubt Arvo's room key. I never expected it lol

Oh dang, played that specific scene multiple times and never really connected those two events lmao.
Although I have a bit of a problem with this theory. I don't think there has been any time where Travis was alone with us in order for him to steal or return the key into our bag?
(I'm gonna be using Rune's route for easier explanation) Arvo finds the key while still being inside of Rune's room so if Travis were to return the key, it has to have happened the day prior. And if I recall correctly, every decision for "hang outs" has a decision where Travis isn't involved so that makes it hard for him to slip it back in the bag. There's also the matter of stealing the key in the first place which has the same issue and also, if I recall correctly, Arvo always has his bag on him so it's practically impossible for Travis to get it unnoticed. Also, there's the fact that Travis only just met Mikko so it would be very weird for Travis to risk his reputation by stealing Arvo's key. These are just my thoughts lmao
But then again, Travis' story matches up real well with Mikko and Arvo so that theory still has alot of credit.
(I didn't realize how big of a wall of text this is until I finished it lmao so sorry about that.)
Nah, no problem. Any kind of speculation is welcome. You actually made a very good point, even. I've also considered the idea that maybe Travis isn't vaguely referring to Mikko and Arvo and that it may have been something he did in past way before the events of Dawn Chorus; could have just been a coincidence the events sounded very similar to what happened to Arvo. It just adds more questions as to who would have taken Arvo's room key.
