So in chapter 4 it is hinted at Kris can’t do something without the soul being inside them.

I think that Kris can’t enter dark worlds without a soul. If they did, I think it is entirely possible something awful would happen to them. Such as… maybe becoming a darkner and being unable to seal the fountain again to escape.

Being unable to seal the fountains alone would be dangerous because it is the most common way we see Kris and Susie leave the dark worlds. That or leaving through an open door that leads outside of wherever the dark fountain is being kept.

Near the end of the chapter we see a Pippin standing next to a petrified Zapper. I think the reason that the Zapper petrified instead of the Pippin is because of how Tenna refused to stop playing games.

Since Tenna refused that, and by extension refused to be turned off left no purpose for a remote in that world anymore. But because Tenna wanted the games to keep going, the Pippins stayed the same.
