Kris' Page

Korean Reincarnation Webtoon: 'The Accounting Master Knows How To Game The System' a story about a man who dies from overwork reincarnated as a rich brat that makes the most evil faces imaginable while somehow solving everything with accounting, also capitalism is evil

The Roaring Knight is Dess, or at least some warped version of her, be it through UT-esque Soul Experiments (which almost certainly happened at the shelter), the same phenomenon that let Gerson show up in Ch4, or a combination.

The Roaring Knight is not the one making the fountains in the light world, that's Carol and Asgore, who are trying to somehow revive Dess. Asgore is the less-willing participant guilted and manipulated into it by Carol.

There is no 'Player', at least not in the sense that there was in Undertale. The stuff with Kris seperating from their soul is more allegorical for their obvious identity/lack of control/dysmorphia/dysphoria etc etc issues. This is supported by the bird cage clearly being a thing long before the game started and the fact Kris vanishing into the bathroom to [METAPHOR FOR SELF-HARM] is apparently a common occurence. Also stuff like Kris ripping out the SOUL at the end of Ch 4 but just laying there desperately trying not to hear their mom getting boned. There might be an UT-esque EXPLANATION for the whole seperating idea, but I'm pretty confident it will, in the end, be an allegory rather than the more metatextual stuff in UT.

Since Ralsei is most likely Kris' old toy monster horns, and thereby a reflection of Kris (replay Chapters 1 and 2 and imagine a lot of Ralsei talking about their state of mind as coming from Kris! It works!) the fact that Ralsei knows everything is a reflection of Kris also knowing what's going on (since they're clearly cooperative with Carol to an extent.)

You can TECHNICALLY beat the Roaring Knight in Ch3 without the Shadow Mantle, making me think there will eventually be some sort of divergence you can get by doing so. I kind of expect people to discover a new entire route once the game is actually finished.

I read the Weird Route as less 'The player makes Kris do BAD THINGS' and more 'Kris is acting against their actual nature to try and be the person the adults in their life want them to be.' Gotta trap your childhood friend in a loveless marriage and get divorced in 20 years just like mom and dad! Kris throwing the soul into the trash and beating the shit out of it after the Weird Route scene in Ch 4 reads like after-the-fact self loathing to me.

I think when we actually get into the shelter we're gonna get some fucked up implications slash allegories in the main route, not just the weird route. Rent-lowering gunshots will be fired.

Is Prince Aechmea a babygirl, the greatest thread in the history of forums, etc etc

here's a taste of one

Sure, under the cut for spoilers.
