hanged man ass man

flowery is spinning around to face both of them in this scene and stops in front of both of them at different times.

Mysterious Wind ☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ

but ofc the reason kris isnt communicating and is drawing themself back is bc theyre in the Hell Situation and betraying everyone around them and think theyre doomed to die or worse and so on. the way kris shows love is through distancing themself from everyone around them, bc they think they can only hurt people by getting close to them. kris almost certainly started this whole thing planning to never befriend susie and never reconnect with noelle and just cleanly get the plan over with and then die in a ditch and be forgotten forever. the fact they want more than that, now, is Hurting Them Badly.

bc they are a stupid teenager trapped in the torment nexus they are not handling this with open communication and expression of their needs. instead, they keep turning away and hiding and hoping so, so bad that someone catches them. but because susie is a good friend and because susie is scared to demand more than she has been offered, and because noelle is a good friend and because noelle is scared to break something fragile and already half-broken, no one is pushing them the way they want to be pushed. kris is so, so loved, and if they reached out, they would be helped. but they can't reach out, and no one knows to reach for them.

Deltarune Fun Fact:

At the end of Onionsan's conversation in Chapter 2, they will ask you to come back tomorrow to learn about the music they hears from the lake. However, they don't appear in Chapter 4. The player is told not to expect Onionsan to appear this chapter, both from Susie saying "your weird friend is busy today" and the strange bird-like NPC from the library saying "don't wait". Then in Chapter 5 you can find this same NPC serving "fried dough balls", which Susie says taste like onion.

Finally... My Shit Squad Pirates

I mean, right after this scene we are reminded of Kris's loyalty to the Knight by Seth staying behind with Kris and bringing up a deal the two of them made before Kris opened the fountain.
