Roger mentioned early on that he had a friend fond of the Otis that's now dead, the sin 100% has to be related to that friend. My mini guess is that friend is "Rose", Neil's younger sibling that died before Otis had the Midas touch and what the manor was named after originally (Rose manor). When I first read it I felt Neil may have killed his younger sibling (the sin) as a price for the deal and named the manor after them out of guilt. I'm just a bit befuddled because Roger says he hates the Otis family but other than that I feel like my theory tracks (there's even the fact that his friend was endeared by the family).
Another theory I have but is pretty far fetched is that Roger's real name is Rose and he's actually the dead younger sibling who came back to life to make a deal with Neil Otis.. actually wait I'm cooking something, the roses take over people's bodies. what if Neil exposed his sibling to one of those weird roses, that's the Otis sin then Roger took over Rose (dead younger sibling) and that's why he's so obsessed with the Otis family!!
Binged up to chapter 41
