Do you think that there's any reason for Kris to carry a knife every time??I mean,that knife probably didnt appear from nowhere=)
It definitely didn’t appear from nowhere! Kris is somehow carrying it separately from the inventory and for probably many reasons (I have small theories on this…)
What’s fascinating is that Kris reaches to their chest without moving their other arm and pulls out this knife (Closer picture of the arm coming up, I am aware people think it literally appears when Kris’ arm comes up but that isn’t the case)
I do consider they might be hiding it under the bandage so that the soul wouldn’t notice by the time that Kris could take control again (Since the bandage is as far as I know the only piece of equipment that doesn’t change regardless of what you equip in the other world, I could be wrong on this, I haven’t tried much to confirm it)
My theory on this…
This isn’t the first time Kris has dealt with this problem, the cage and wagon, the lack of decoration on their side of the room, I wouldn’t be surprised if Kris has been possessed for much longer periods of time than just one day. (I say possessed because they clearly owned the save point before this soul took it) And that they keep this knife on them for all the times they’ve had to exterminate these souls… (I think the fact we can return to a previous save point is just a point of the first chapter/demo)
Little stories of things they’ve done in the past bother me, Susieis the first one to claim Kris as one of those quiet kids (During possession)Toriel saying they rarely get up on time or at all, Asriel even had to carrythem to school some days but even so… They liked pulling various pranks on theneighbours, crawled under Noelles bed to scare them, put a bath bomb in thetoilet, covered themselves in ketchup and claimed it was blood… Where’s theprankster in deltarune? Did I miss it? Kris still fits the quiet personality atfirst by Susie, but as you talk with other characters around town they talkabout how DIFFERENT Kris is from normal, Notably, you can choose to tell sansthat it’s good to see him again, despite not meeting him before (This could be ajoke though, it’s hard to tell going by the other topics you can talk to himabout) The current soul possessing Kris cannot play the piano. Willingly talks to others, gets upset overchocolate with Asriel… At what point am I supposed to believe these feelingsare actually Kris and which ones are the soul possessing them??
It truly makes me wonder who this child is, sure you can say thatKris likes chocolate, that they are quiet, they are pranksters… but are they?
My Theory is that Kris has long since lost their identity, they’vebeen possessed enough times that facing another day is gruesome because someonehas done something that they didn’t want or taken a memorable moment from them(Like making friends or enjoying chocolate with their brother) Which also ties into why their room is so blank, why earnanything? Or keep something earned by someone else in your body? (or it couldbe severe neglect… WILL SOMEONE FEED THIS CHILD?)
This is all purely speculation and I’m sure others have hadsimilar thoughts, I’ve not been able to read or watch any theories about thegame because well…. Been busy with all the animation stuff
I’m not expecting to be right on ANY ofthis, I’ve ummed and ahhed over a lot of smaller theories before coming to thisone and sticking to it for now but there’s not enough game to get a good handleon it…
