DELTARUNE (OKAY I’M DONE NOW)

So since chapter 2, we've all known that Noelle has been linked to the theme of Freedom. Her story about Dess promising to take her away to somewhere new, her want to grow wings and fly.

And now, chapter 5 weird route pretty much fully confirms it. She still wants to fly away, but now feels like she's strong enough to do it. She's so tired of her life, of being herself, and even abandoning the route and letting the scene become what it's like normally, with Susie and the lake and their confessions, has her admit she's still dissatisfied. She says "The dream never happened."

It's a lost dream.

Not only can you only get twisted sword through an abandoned route to acquire the ThornRing, which chapter 6 will now give you the real opportunity to do so since they're preparing to welcome Noelle to Castletown, but you can't get the sword with all five Shadow Crystals either. It's also predicted that the sword will remove the trance effect. So who will the sword go to? Do we want Noelle to be tranced at this point? Do we even need her to be? If all we need is for her to be stronger, if she's going to listen to us either way, then this sword will do it.
