For what it’s worth, the last wish is apparently gonna be Xie Lian wishing for a meat bun. But confirmation on that should be coming.
Anyway, Jon has tried what he could to get information (although that doesn’t include trying to talk to Zenobius about it!) and do the right thing (other than outing himself as a dirty thief), but ultimately he’d be disturbed by the strength of his own compulsion to make people wish. The reason he’d be disturbed by it is, well, look at the outcome of everyone’s compulsion to rebuild the mirror. It did not go well for him!
So before he can drag in a fourth person, he goes a little away from everyone else, and uses the key to open the box.
