Of course its concerning but as for whats going to happen thats clear enough. Doms deal needs to happen but even if it does happen things can still go down hill.

Roswell was saying about a trap if that was a memphis trap or thanatos we don't know.
Thanatos i won't even speculate about that he's too much of a plot black hole considering the 'i know everything' he's got going on. Either he knows what he's doing and this helps or he's trying something new and has no idea how it will turn out. (worth noting we still don't know who his master truely is and this could be something he was just asked to do)
Choosing who to go with Oz is very likely the center point of the next day. Personally leaning to sending Tyson or Dean. Tyson because like he said he can see in the dark but i also think Grizz would put him in harms was because he knows how well liked he is as a curve ball. Dean i'd send just because he's sus.

Spoilers for the current build... Also wild guessing that might be laughably wrong in a few updates.
There's a moment in the current public build that really solidified my distrust of Dean. The reaction in Dave's vision being so... empty. If you find your friend bloody, wounded, and maybe dying, why would he have no reaction. Then, Jack lets Dave make it to Dean in that vision and is laughing about it. All that scene was lacking was Dean raising the gun and laughing at Dave. Of everything in that day, that is what unsettled me the most and I haven't forgotten.
He got cleared of being Thanatos' master too easily as well, the bear isn't dumb. I'm not calling him the "mastermind" behind the whole thing, or that he's responsible for any of the deaths, but I just don't trust him at all. Roswell and Hoss are too obviously set up to be suspicious, Tyson and Sal are both used as weapons, Orlando is Orlando. That leaves Dean amongst the main group. The one that has the weakest connection to Dave overall and who seems to have just invited himself to the mansion (the implication is that Orlando invited him, but I remember Orlando being confused when that gets mentioned as a possibility). The one we've already caught interacting with Thanatos once who knows enough about robotics to apparently repair him (who also apparently survives a "timeline with Memphis" whatever that entails). When Thanatos sound blasts Roswell, Hoss, and Dave on path F/G, he speaks to someone watching through the surveillance system. The only ones unaccounted for at that time are Sal, Benson and Dean. Then there's who exactly Thanatos is referring to on path D when he mentions his "master" being killed. Even his initial death feels different compared to the others. There's also Orlando's vision that still hasn't had a chance to happen. He sees a bear who he thinks is Dean laughing at Dave's body. With Dom in the picture now, it'd be easy to assume it's just him and Orlando got confused. But it really could be Dean.
In the two years I've played this game, he's consistently sat wrong with me whereas the others I've either grown to like through playing their routes or just naturally did from the bus stop. When you compare him to the other 5 routes, he's even more out of place. Dean stands out precisely because he doesn't at all. Almost like he's designed to be intentionally unassuming and normal, so the player "falls" for his charms and never suspects him of wrongdoing.
I'm probably going to feel really dumb in a few updates, but I'm sticking with my gut instinct here.
Minor spoilers for the pat. build.
And yeah, it seems to be setting up choosing who to send into the forest.
Hopefully whatever Thanatos is about to show Dave will give some kind of help or hint because I really don't want to lose anyone. Though path B is quickly escalating to not be considered "good" by any stretch of the word. The way Tyson's ends is very much framed as a... last moment together. Really hope I'm wrong.

Yeah pretty much this ^^^. Honestly i felt deans first death just felt off but after that he's not really around, always on his own in the greenhouse, so i just never thought about him that much. Untill his reaction to seeing dave bleeding out just being a 'found you' and out of all the sprites grizz has he chose a blank neutral one. Just made me actually pay attention to where dean has been up to that point and he's too much of a question mark, i honestly can't say with confidence what he's been up to.
