Victim of Habit & subsequent Prey

After your Prey gets ousted, how does Victim of Habit function regarding the subsequent prey(s)?

Obviously you won't get to choose another card for the Victim of Habit when you get a new Prey, but if the card you had chosen from your original Prey's Ash Heap is also appearing in your new Prey's Ash Heap, do you get to use Victim of Habit to remove cards and Pool from the new Prey?

Seems like an obvious "yes" but since several people and Ash Heaps are involved I thought this might once again be those not-so-intuitive instances in VTES...


Victim of Habit
+1 stealth action.
Put this card in play and choose a card in your prey's ash heap by name. During any Methuselah's unlock phase, you may lock this card to remove three copies of the chosen card in your prey's ash heap from the game to cause your prey to burn 1 pool.
