I got a bone to pick with you.

Kris's relationship dynamics with... everyone has to be the biggest mystery box in the entire game now. I just can't narrow it down anymore. So Kris clearly likes Susie a lot, their interactions and flavor text confirms that they see her as, at least, a platonic soulmate. One that could have romantic connotations but is somewhat ambiguous in the narrative.... until now.

Ok... there's something here. And maybe it's been kind of obvious until now. Kris only accepts Susie as an answer for who they want to take to the Festival, Kris has weirdly appreciated Susie even before Chapter 1 according to Noelle's blog, and answering Kris + Susie in the Festival ballot has Kris do triple the effort to tease Noelle that they're the better duo. Even writing down "Not Noelle". Ok, one-sided Krusie confirmed yeah? .... But then there's this.

Answer Kris + Noelle and they'll intentionally spell Noelle's name to purposefully trigger a romantic flashback from her. It works so well that it actually allows Kris and Noelle to go to the Ferris Wheel... but once they're on Kris doesn't attempt to reciprocate Noelle's desire to have them shake the ride unless you do it. Not only that but Kris also sees a picture of them as kids on the Ferris Wheel and shuts it instantly for some reason.

Um ok.

Does Kris just like them both? Is the Rouxls throuple foreshadowing? Well no, because they see the triple cup ride and finds it gross?

Jesus, Kris be their wingthem or just say something. Make up your mind! ...And then you get Kris's hotspring scene with Ralsei where you can answer "Your happy ending is with me" without any hesitation whereas answering with a equally vulnerable line to Susie makes them speedrun the dialogue.

Then suddenly you changed

and now I don't know who you are

Or could it be

That I never really knew you from the start - [x]

I did an extended 2026 version of that drawing I made in September last year that I just reuploaded onto this new blog because this is my favourite thing for some reason (Kris thinking everyone hates them but in reality all their friends are just as bad at expressing their feelings for them as they are)
