I've been seeing a good deal of discussion about Kris not telling Susie why Noelle left or what happened with her dad, and it's understandable why people frown on them for it. However, if you pay attention to how things play out, you'll realize it wasn't exactly done out of ill intent.

Aside from the fact that it would be SUPER OUT OF CHARACTER for them to not care about Rudy's health (seeing how they were literally praying for his welfare last Chapter), they weren't actually trying to stop her from seeing the Holidays! In fact, they were not only leading the way, but they were DOING SO WITHOUT OUR INPUT!

So why did they stop? Because Susie tried to investigate Asgore's shop. And so, because that would most likely lead to her discovering the code and compromising the plan/promise they'd been trying to fulfill before they even met her, Kris had to make the difficult decision to make the Dark World in hopes it would prevent her from ruining said plan/promise!
