An absolutely amazing experience!
The first act plot twist was so effective to the point where I can't help but actively try to analyze every part of the story that seems a little off. Soooo as a fruit of my amazement towards the story, I have concocted a theory regarding some mysteries currently in the story in particular about Xavier.
Spoiler alert up to chapter 14
Xavier is straight up suspicious.
Now before you debunked my seemingly outlandish theory, allow me to present a few reasons as to why I came to this conclusion.
1. Lance's seemingly dissonant view on the pristine carriers (and his history with being a glorified delivery boy)
Now you might be thinking, is there anything wrong with him? Isn't he just a backstabbing asshole?
The answer is yes and no.
First I need to remind you that Lance himself is present during Xavier's escape from Reesom and therefore knows what they are form the very beginning. Secondly, his decision to "sell" Xavier and his future acts of continuing to do so(as implied multiple times) are simply contradictory to point 1. Why did he keep selling them to Resoom if he knew that they're bad? One might think that it's simply because he's a selfish asshole, but other evidence suggests otherwise. This brought us to our third point, why did he envy the pristine carriers during the first interlude chapter? As someone who clearly hates the company and have known that they're doing some nasty stuff under the cover, one would think that he wouldn't want to be in that position, so what gives? This implicate that there might've been something that changed his views on the pristine carriers in between the time period of first meeting Xavier and "selling" Xavier to Resoom.
2. The white haired girl revealed at the end of the second interlude.
This dissonant is further proven by the fact that he's not surprised when he's assigned to guard a girl who is most likely a pristine carrier herself, that has been living with a sufficiently fancy arrangement underground.
We could conclude from this point that Lance himself holds a knowledge that the resistance doesn't, hence why he is insistent that THEY betrayed him rather than him betraying them (as evident by his wording from the prologue and the fact that he admitted that he was waiting for an apology from them for a long time) this suggess that he have a strong reason to think of himself as in the right.
3. Xavier's physical state during his initial introduction
When we first started act 1, it was shown that Cyrus isn't exactly in an ideal physical state (whether it's thanks to his head injury or nod is up to debate). But one thing that's weird is that even if Cyrus doesn't get his head hurt, he still needed physical rehab after being harvested for so long. Which makes it seems more unbelievable that Xavier was perfectly capable of just waltzing out of his confinement during a raid.
For now that's all I can actually think of given the amount of information we have.
And even then since most of this information comes from largely assuming that Lance actually isn't just a one time backstabber character, it can be easily ruled out if it's revealed that he is simply just a selfish conniving bastard with no other motives other than money(but that's just a waste of storytelling opportunity in my humble opinion)
So yeah this is just me trying to get some stuff that seems odd to me out of my head, by no means is this a seriously thought out theory.
