Deltarune & Doors

*peeks in through her cracked-open door*

There's an odd thing about the Dark World & doors...

In both chapters, the Dark World has been contained behind doors. In Chapter 1, Lancer somehow got into Ralsei's kingdom, due to a large door (the one between the closet & the abandoned classroom) having been opened somehow (which Ralsei closed behind us as we ventured through it, & remains sealed after the Card Kingdom's fountain was also sealed).

In Chapter 2, the Computer Lab's door was changed from single to double (though that may have just been a technical thing so Susie & Kris could both fit at the same time). & when the Light World version of the Computer Lab was revealed, there's an open door to a closet.

& at the END of Chapter 2, Kris specifically opened the front door, before creating the Dark Fountain.

Then of course, there are the "shortcut" doors that resemble Sans's from Undertale, & Papyrus saying it's like it leads to another world. One UT door is a rare secret & connection to the Mystery Man (Probably-Gaster).

Several locked doors are present in UT & both chapters of DR, teasing us with possibilities, some of which are eventually fulfilled (shortcuts unlocked, shopkeepers showing up, our rooms at Ralsei's town being finished), or probably will be (Ralsei's other rooms & his own, other rooms in Kris's house, Sans's house [please Please PLEASE???]), while others remain unfulfilled & mysterious (closed for renovations).

There is even a being who listens eagerly for knocking, & encourages us to keep practicing knocking on doors.

Doors can, of course, be symbols of opening up to new opportunities & the future, or closing them to leave your past behind. Another-Probably-Gaster said, on Twitter, that they look forward to creating a new future with us.

Who knows where the next doorway may lead...
