MY TIMELOOP— IT’S BROKEN

It's like looking in a mirror

the thing about The Krusielle Situation is that as much as there is "blame" to assign it falls squarely on kris' shoulders. susie as much as says outright "i only know how to tell if i have romantic feelings if someone else clearly indicates they have them for me first" in that one floradinn battle (and kris visibly flinches about it). she'd be receptive to signals from kris, but they're just... not giving them, or when they do it's shit like just kind of staring at her that she doesnt know what to deal w. similarly noelle Wants to be close to kris again but when they keep Not Communicating she doesnt know how to start/thinks that maybe only she wants that. so ofc when they can actually talk to and romantically involve themself with each other they do! it isnt on them to read kris' mind!

”Noelle and Susie becoming a couple has caused Kris to feel isolated from their friends and their strong feelings for Susie (platonic or romantic) are causing them distress because they don’t feel like Susie can reciprocate them” Yes good excellent reading of Kris’s situation in chapter 5

if you give Susie the Red Ribbon where she decides she wants to try it she'll still hate it and decide to keep wearing them but in other ways

This was all I could think about when playing chapter 5

aroace Kris because when they get asked if they’re in a romantic relationship with someone that they’re very close to they can choose to say that it’s “something else”. Because it’s a strong defining relationship in their life that’s more than friendship and they don’t have the words to describe it.
