No worries! I just don't think we should go too far into the Vessel thing unless more evidence comes up.

We never actually see Zote die, so we don't know if he turns into a shade or not.

His mask also resembles the Elderbug's mask as well, having one smaller horn as well as a hinge/segment/moving bit for a mouth. It's clear that that style of horned mask isn't unique to the main character.
