I don't think anyone needs to despair guys. Susie has literally invited/accepted the invite to the festival from Kris (if you let them give their real answer to her question at the end of chapter 2... Don't be evil), Ralsei, AND Noelle!
And as for us Krusie truthers, not only did she get all blushy and encouraging towards Noelle to dress grim dark more, she did the exact same for Kris when she said they should play piano more while in the Light World. On top of, you know, everything else we've been handed.
Frankly, I think it's all going to be ambiguous with who Susie like-likes at the end. She's so dense (asexual) and has literally no idea all her friends have huge crushes on her, even when they're more forward. And I don't even think Noelle is going to show up to the festival "tomorrow" (2026) because of Carol/Dark World shenanigans, so...
As much as a canon answer would be preferred by many, I think it's better to keep things up in the air. Because if something becomes canon, the fallout is going to be insane. I've said it before, I DON'T want to see or deal with it. Even if it happened to be Krusie I DO NOT want to handle the distraught fans who wanted something else. They'll flood the tag and attack people for sure.
(If you're reading this and know you'd be like that towards any 'rival' shippers, shame on you. Be better.) And, I'll be honest, I care more about the story and the characters as individuals than the shipping. Like, its fun and cute but there's soooo much more to Deltarune than ships! SO much! I feel like people forget that admist the 'ship wars' or what have you. Well, I cannot wait to see what Toby reveals next... Even when I know it'll hurt my heart. ;__;
Anyway, we all take what we can get! I honestly don't think Noelle stands a better chance against Kris (or Ralsei?? I don't feel the chemistry, personally, but I mean. Maybe! I know there are others that do!) and vise versa so there's no need for anyone to fret. Let's just have fun with the story of the blorbos we know and love!
