OH so Doc Scratch waking Kanaya up wasn’t supposed to normally happen because that’s how Space players find the final frog, by it waking hem up?
It was a thing I found out after re-reading Jade and Kanaya’s conversation pre-Murderstuck. Jade states that she remembers seeing the Frog when she was very little. Her Dream Self on Prospit was staring at a Seed, always a hint of a Game construct. And shortly after, she began sleepwalking and Grandpa had to make her a Dreambot. Then Kanaya says she woke up thanks to Scratch, but also mentions this to have been brief. Scratch only interacts directly when he’s plotting something, and ensuring the Universe is Cancerous by not letting the Space Player find the Frog naturally? That fits the bill.
