Look an update time skip doesn't necessarily mean skip past all of the potential interactions; Hell this is technically [i]two[/i] timeskips, a lot of things could've gone down by two days. Such as say, the orphans poking around for potential backers, like say by the ones who were in the room with Mary and instead of getting hooks about where to go looking for backers it were left with no leads on where to search. Or for something more trivial such as if there were any field mice to hunt after, which would've provided another course of action. Setting up a large amount of hooks around the world, alongside having more NPC interactions are important as you can drive events naturally. Say if you provided a lead for gathering backers, that would naturally lead to this Vengeance gang showing up; as the lead would inspire players to act and follow it. In turn there is a logical progression of other gangs hearing and seeing the orphans act in a different manner which would give credit to the idea Fritz was dead. But because there weren't these various breadcrumbs of possible hooks and actions about the whole thing about the arrival feels janky.
