deltarune ch5 spoiler yap below
mad mew mew/pink in ch5 is such a parallel to kris & the player that it kinda feels obvious. like. someone who'd found a body for themself that works perfectly only to realize the body's still occupied and rather than rejecting the body's wants, you're meant to accept them for what they are and work with them.
and i feel that like. we as a player (at least in the normal route) have kind of accepted that on our side. granted we can't do much considering we're a soul and not a ghost like mmm but we're (at least from my perspective) acknowledging kris and whatever plan they have going on and aren't intentionally trying to rip control from them. of course, we have limited say in what we can actually do and kris will often try to keep us from doing certain things (like certain interactions/looking at what other people are doing) but i feel like the only time kris has actively tried to prevent us from doing something while we were doing it was when the little sword hero was going into the shelter during ch3.
kris, on the other hand, is kind of actively rejecting us. sure. it's probably because of whatever deal they have w/ the person on the phone+the roaring knight but there's. not a lot of acceptance/teamwork between us the player and kris as a person. I don't think kris outright hates us in any way, but a team kind of needs communication to work, and there's very little of that going on unlike mad mew mew and her body. but also mmm is a ghost and can talk.
idk i don't yap about this too much but i also fucking love mad mew mew and got mildly irritated at a friend's oversimplification/face value description of mmm (no hate to that friend but also. cmon man.) idk i'd personally love to like. actually work with kris in some way rather than just controlling them yknow.
also there's probably something to be said about pink when she's accepted by the rest of the flowers. like idk i dont think susie would really mind that there's actually two people inside of kris yknow.
