Jane

But still, she almost always *asks permission* for what she wants, afraid of being responsible for her own decisions, as well as trying not to come across and unpleasant, selfish, or unfitting. And that's why I find Flowery's scene with Ralsei SO important for her development.

Flowery specifically states "don't worry about Kris", and the lack of mentioning Susie in that statement seems very pointedly about the freedom of choice afforded to the player (which often overrides Ralsei's own aspirations).

Especially considering the "Nah bro..." option presented earlier in the same chapter, Flowery's encouragement of femininity and dismissal of the player's choices, I can't read this as anything but intentional and vital to Ralsei's own agency and transfemininity.

Not even inherently in defiance of the prophecy, but in defiance of the player (at least in this instance).

Immediately following this scene, we as the player are, yet again, given the option to disregard Ralsei's wants, but very importantly, we aren't actually allowed to deprive her of those wants! Regardless of your selection, Ralsei will still end up with the blue-and-pink drink!!!
