SST - low float SPAC merger with options (here we go again)

Also I noticed this and wanted to know if this was a glitch. Shorts have been readjusting their positions.

Shorts yesterday:

Today:

So the number of shares short remains the same, but the average price jumps $4? And the short position value jumps $6M as well. How is this possible? I understand maybe they bought back then re-shorted, but how does that affect the short position value? The difference in closing prices is not enough to justify a $6M difference.

Can anyone lend some insight on this? Thanks.
