* AmbiguousSituation: The nature of the childhood "game" where Kendall locked Roman in a dog cage. Roman describes it as being very traumatic and disturbing, with him being put on a leash and forced to eat dog food, and it resulted in him wetting the bed and eventually being sent away to military school. Kendall insists it wasn't nearly so brutal, specifically saying it was Roman's idea and says there wasn't a leash. Connor also says Roman ''asked'' to go to military school, and that the "dog food" was chocolate cake. No one seems to be ''lying'', but whose recollection is closest to the truth is murky.
