Sigh, Deltarune has some references in Rejuv but Rejuv is Not trying to Be Deltarune, yes there's similarities in having metanarrative elements and a separation of Player versus the Flesh Homunculus they pilot in the game world, but Rejuv is doing its own thing and Renegade is NOT trying to be the Weird Route.
It was made clear when the split fully happened in v13.5 that both routes will be needed to understand each other's plots, because they are different sides of the same plot, not Evil and Good Route that are wholly separate from one another.
It was already made rather clear in 13.5 Paragon that the Interceptor and Melia were making plans behind everyone's backs, including the player, something Erin points out that they kept leaving by themselves and being absentminded during meetings even during brief timeskips where none of the stuff we Do see happened.
(now we just need that .Karma files skip password to make Renegade more accessible, at least. That I'll agree can be grating as far as the requirements for renegade and length of the game goes)
