I'm so glad someone else brought this up lol, I was thinking that but was like "Wait, but Trick's vegan, why would they attack Butterscotch and Sy?", and then I realized "Wait, wasn't Trick's hair pink like 5 years before Lonely Wolf Treat, and chapter 2 established that Syrup took place between the first and second chapters?", sothe fact that someone else asked saves me the trouble of having to comment it myself and wait for a response.
