An addition to my Logan speculation
I swear I have other theories, but I was thinking and noticed something else from my favourite episode (WTIT) that ties in with my last post.
In the end card, Logan says:
"I suppose this isn't the worst distraction Thomas could have."
That quote's been rattling around my head for a while, and I think I've figured out why. Using the series' own logic (pun sort-of-intended?), distractions have their uses: when Thomas can't reasonably do anything in the moment to solve the problem, and when Thomas is overwhelmed with intrusive thoughts and needs a break to reset.
However, by the end of the episode, Remus leaves. This means that Thomas logically should tell Nico he's busy, schedule to hang out another time, and finish cleaning his apartment. But he doesn't do this. So why is Logan accepting an illogical conclusion?
I think it comes back to self-doubt. We've seen before that a side can lose confidence in their opinions over what Thomas should do. In fact, we've now seen every other core side do this. Roman in Selfishness V Selflessness, Patton in DWIT and SvS Redux, and Virgil earliest of all in AA.
So, it's Logan's turn. Going forward, we might see Logan react in a similar way to the others when they've experienced this before. Being more hesitant to share their opinion, relying more on supporting points by others and doubting if what they believe really is true.
I find it hard to believe that Logan's objective has changed so quickly. He's been solidly established as putting Thomas' health first, more-so the way of supporting what he needs over what he wants. This contrasts with the other sides, most of all Patton and Roman, who mostly act on Thomas' desires.
That means that Logan is either in the process of re-evaluating his position on the matter, or, more likely, is suppressing his thoughts and, in a way, lying to the others.
This is where my theory comes in. I've already explained that I believe a Janus v Logan conflict is coming, and Logan lying is the perfect setup for that. What is even more interesting is that it's becoming more and more likely that this conflict is going to come from a Janus-sympathetic standpoint.
In conclusion, Logan's doubting himself and learning to hide his opinions and this is most likely going to be used as ammunition for Janus to have solid ground to stand on in the finale. I am a strong believer that Janus has a larger plan for the sides, with honest intentions to improve Thomas' life in a way the core sides will protest against, but that's a conversation for another day.

Remus: Oh, what's this? A comedically large lollipop-
Janus: A comically large lollipop you use to chop people's heads off?
Remus, in a high-pitched voice: It's mistew Guillotine, owo-
Janus, laughing and mortified: Dear Lord-

Hey so some people were talking about Janus saying cold-blooded. Some people were out of their minds that it was canon. I saw some others thinking it was a lie. I got bored and decided to ask Thomas.
So not only is it, yes, definitely canon, but Janus is shy about it.
Writers and artists, come get y'all's juice. I know I’m going to be writing about this for comfort this week.
@thatsthat24 Thanks again for answering my ask, Thomas!
