Just saying, if Kris dies of buttercup poisoning (suicide, perhaps), it would be the saddest death in video game history, in my humble opinion.
Toby Fox has this freedom of interpretation in his games that I absolutely love and cherish, but he's not a loose or vague writer either. He doesn't leave crucial information up to you. He's the only person I can think of who does this type of writing right.
And I may be wrong, but to be fair, it's not really that impossible. In the Spamton NEO boss fight, Spamton breaks the fourth wall, acknowledging a force beyond his comprehension: Heaven. Although Spamton's character revolves around the theme of freedom, he's still bound like a puppet. If we snap all the strings in his fight, "freeing" him from the strings controlling him, he perishes at the end of the battle. Kris is left deeply unsettled—they've just witnessed what could be their own fate unfolding before them.
We know from the beginning of chapter 5 that Kris can't go on without their soul which made me believe the soul is actually theirs and we are the cage in the prophecy and Kris is the "human parts" now, these are my opinions I'm not here to theorize what could this mean , again , toby fox and his genius mystery writing.
If Kris dies they'll die painfully lonely, they'll die as the only human in town , alienated from everyone else, if Kris dies they will die scared (spamton neo ending they get goosebumps) if Kris dies they'll die full of unresolved guilt (*you can't wash it all off*) if Kris dies they will die without ever confessing their feelings to anyone and if they die their lost dream of Noelle will go with them to nothing, Kris will die a stranger, a human different from everyone around them , I love how their humanity is depicted as weird and isolate them from everyone else , making them the weird one, in a town full of all types of monsters Kris dreemurr unfairly stands out because in this world no one can choose who they are. They will die isolated with so many untold secrets. And worst of all if their secrets are exposed they'll die as a traitor.
"goodbye Kris dreemurr, we hardly knew you."
