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 didnāt appear from nowhere! Kris is somehow carrying it separately from the inventory and for probably many reasons (I have small theories on thisā¦)
Whatās 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 Krisā arm comes up but that isnāt the case)
I do consider they might be hiding it under the bandage so that the soul wouldnāt 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 doesnāt change regardless of what you equip in the other world, I could be wrong on this, I havenāt tried much to confirm it)
My theory on thisā¦
This isnāt the first time Kris has dealt with this problem, the cage and wagon, the lack of decoration on their side of the room, I wouldnāt 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)Ā And that they keep this knife on them for all the times theyāve had to exterminate these soulsā¦ (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 theyāve 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 soā¦ 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 bloodā¦ Whereās 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 itās good to see him again, despite not meeting him before (This could be ajoke though, itās 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 Asrielā¦ 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 prankstersā¦ but are they?
My Theory is that Kris has long since lost their identity, theyāvebeen possessed enough times that facing another day is gruesome because someonehas done something that they didnāt 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 neglectā¦ WILL SOMEONE FEED THIS CHILD?)
This is all purely speculation and Iām sure others have hadsimilar thoughts, Iāve not been able to read or watch any theories about thegame because wellā¦. Been busy with all the animation stuff
Iām not expecting to be right on ANY ofthis, Iāve ummed and ahhed over a lot of smaller theories before coming to thisone and sticking to it for now but thereās not enough game to get a good handleon itā¦
