In peoples quickness to demonize the avatar of ourself, they forget the irony of the Soul's condition. Kris is not just a puppet, they are the cage, it has been shown very often that they can literally rip us out, while we, the player, are incapable of leaving kris, incapable of giving anything more complex than yes or no statements. How often have you wanted to simply state what needs to be done, to expressively help solve the Fun Gangs problem with clear and concise words.
You cannot, because while we puppet Kris's actions, they restrict ours, neither of our choices matter, and that's the irony, kris seems to hate us as a proponent of the prophecy, almost oblivious to the fact we hate them for the same reason.
For they are the cage, with human soul and parts.
And yes, while the weird route showcases the capacity for harm, I must state something.
Kris doesn't know about something we didn't do, capacity for harm is a blade that must be taken, not simply acknowledged, and that doesn't excuse his actions towards us and others just because we could hurt them.
We don't get to control Kris, we have to, but Kris can choose to lie and omit, and they do, so I ask of you, who is the true victim in the pacifist run? because Kris doesn't seem so purely innocent.
