Not 100% sure this counts as a plot hole since alot of people seem to have an opinion of how it happened which make sense in the context of the story. A plothole actually has to contradict the story itself which this does not, it is simply unexplained at the moment. Anyways, its not over yet so maybe it will be explained soon, or maybe he will leave it up to our imagination (btw never even noticed this "inconsistency" because i apparently formed my own conclusion while reading).
