* Why didn't Tundra try helping her husband by shoving or pulling off some of the rabbits that were attacking him? I get her keeping Timber safe by holding onto him, but she could've told him to run to safety then intervene. Also, I don't know how many rabbits were involved but were they really enough to overpower one or two wolves, the species established to be very strong due to its lifestyle?

* In chapter 4, Vanilla has an igloo that no known character seems to live in. In chapter 7's version of Vanilla, there is no such igloo. In Treat's bad ending, she says Vanilla has seven members, which is the exact number of named characters confirmed to live there[[note]]Treat, Trick, Cotton, Candy, Fennel, Powder, Mango[[/note]]. Nevertheless, Trick's comment when examining the igloo suggests that someone does indeed live there, but if it is none of the previously named characters, then who could it be?

* [[invoked]] This one is probably the first to genuinely bother me, because it made me go "DarthWiki/WhatAnIdiot". What was Juju thinking in Bad End 1 going after a wolf in the middle of the night? What was she going to do exactly? And what was she even doing outside that time? Even when you take into account her extreme and absolutely illogical hatred and not seeing more than one wolf due to darkness, it's still a dumb move and might even be a little OOC considering she never tried pulling something like this in the proper storyline.
** I mean, she did pull something like that with Salt and Pepper (for different reasons, but still)... Anyway, in the main storyline she already makes it clear she wants Treat dead, so it doesn't seem that big a stretch to me that she was waiting for an excuse to kill Treat herself [[note]]which would make her accusation at the end of chapter 2 an example of PsychologicalProjection[[/note]]. Seeing a wolf in their animal form is widely considered bad news among rabbits, so seeing Treat sneaking around in that form was the only excuse she needed.

** Oh and as for the rabbits, they're probably in agreement about hiding their murders, most likely because they know a wolf can't go to police for help.

** It might be because, as far as we know, none of these incidents actually took place INSIDE Frosting (or close enough to it), and moreso, they didn't occur in a way that left the Frosting residents know about it. Juju's ordeal with Salt and Pepper happened nearby in a place everyone knows there are foxes in, and going by what Mousse tells the cat couple, it's probably common knowledge why the ban was enforced. As for the incidents Timber is involved in, his M.O seems to be killing unaccompanied rabbits in isolated spots to make his job and hide the traces easier. If the missing rabbit cannot be linked back to Frosting (e.g. Boreas), then there's no need to put it under protection.

* We find out in the bad endings that rabbits and wolves have been killing each other for decades. Why is it that banning other species from entering Frosting has never come up before now?

** She doesn't ''kill'' the rabbits (at least intentionally); she just beats them into submission. If she actually wanted them dead she'd use a knife, as we saw in Date Mochi.

* So I just played Chapter 6's bad ending last night and here's what stuck out to me: Mousse's behavior. Before, he always seemed like a responsible, albeit stoic guard, and generally a pleasant, well-meaning man. So when I saw him dismiss Junior Guard by invoking ExactWords (Mochi is attacking other rabbits but she's not a wolf nor fox) and using his shift end as an excuse, I was a little puzzled. Of course, nobody is perfect and honestly, this does make a little sense given [[https://cohost.org/nomnomnami/post/5810693-i-imagined-him-as-ha this ask]] I made to Nami about him, giving the picture of a disgruntled worker, but I will say it might make a little UnintentionallyUnsympathetic because it comes a little out of left field. I would've thought he'd at least get a WhatTheHellHero from Annie (and/or Dango if they came to his house as well, I don't remember) because this is a situation where, theoretically speaking, an adult male is better to handle the situation, regardless of they're responsible for safety or not. Plus, couldn't he get in trouble if someone reported him for negligence? Again, not saying anyone in real life would jump at the situation given the circumstances, but knowing his character prior makes it a tad unrealistic, still.

* At first this question was going to be "How comes Junior Guard and his brother didn't die like the rabbits in the warren when attacked by Mochi?" but then my brain was smart for once and remembered she didn't have the shovel from the beginning. But then it led to a new question: How come the attacked rabbits don't look like they were beaten to death with a dirty shovel? It looks more like they were knocked out with bare hands. I would've expected a little blood, at least.

** WordOfGod says [[https://cohost.org/nomnomnami/post/5839774-cw-treat-spoilers here]] that the pack needed more food since Treat joined them, so there was more reason for Timber to go out and hunt for rabbit.

** Settling it with a duel is more practical than with an all-out melee. Wolves are struggling enough as it is, and nobody would be able to forage for food if everyone gets wounded in battle. In any case, Treat, Fennel, Powder, and maybe Timber were all children at the time, Mango is disabled, and Cotton panics very easily (and probably needed to support Mango), so it wouldn't have been any good for any of them to fight anyway.

* I might be missing some key points or forgetting but here's my question: about Candy's confrontation with Tundra, did that happen exactly after they tried leaving? I think that's the only timing that makes sense. So in that case, where were Cotton, Treat, Fennel and Powder (and Mango, if he was there too), as well as Timber and the other wolves who remained? How come they didn't get involved in the fight?

** I'm just guessing here, but I think he just doesn't have any reason to visit Frosting a second time, because A) he doesn't become friends with Treat and Mochi in this timeline, and B) he finds out that Frosting has a problem with fox attacks. So instead, he decides to travel to a different part of the mountain, which is where Timber gets him.

* How does Treat joining Glaze in the bad ending affect Boreas and change his fate? As far as I can tell, nothing changed about what he does between the storyline and the bad ending. The sole explanation is probably the need of a rabbit's death for the plot and Boreas is the only rabbit not living in Frosting that we know and thus within Timber's reach without raising suspicions, but it still confuses me a bit.

** Arguably, Juju's confrontation with Salt and Pepper is even ''more'' stupid than what she does in the bad ending, because she goes and provokes a fight with foxes that A) clearly outnumber her, and B) she thinks want to eat her. So either she was willing to throw her life away just to prove a point to Mochi, she didn't actually think the foxes would kill her (which would go against everything she claims to believe in), or she is just TooDumbToLive.
