i’ll have to do a separate post later with game screenshots to better illustrate my point but AHH the kris/susie/noelle dynamic after everything in ch5 is actually making me insane. like ch2 noelle “kris knows me better than anyone, but it’s hard to say we’re exactly friends” and “kris is the only one who knows how weird i really am.” the “it felt like a concert just for me” holidaygirl1225 blog post. susie sleeping in kris’s bed in the dark world. susie’s ch2 “damn, kris would know what to do!” on the ferris wheel and ch4 “they’re really good at…flirting?” when talking to noelle. susie and noelle being in fuckin adorable young love with each other. both of them wanting kris there on their first date because it’s less awkward but also bc kris makes them both feel safe and i’m not sure how aware kris is of that. kris mumbling when the player chooses “you and noelle will work out” when talking to susie. susie admitting she thought kris and noelle might’ve been a thing before she got to know them. kris’s dialogue options for “you should carry me next” and “you’re cute when you’re embarrassed.” susie wanting to include noelle in the dark world and castle town even tho thus far it’s been her and kris’s “special thing.” crying screaming gnawing at my cage bars. you kids are making me UNWELL.
