Have you noticed how Susie is intentionally being kept in the dark about a lot of lore stuff? Like, by the end of chapter 2 she still doesn't know darkners are objects. Maybe it's to keep her from asking certain questions
This is exactly what I’m talking about!!!!
She doesn’t know who or what Kris’s soul truly is, she just assumes it’s their own. She doesn’t know about the video game inputs that govern her party’s movements and decisions (“Who the hell is Z??”) and never at any point are they explained to her. Ralsei always picks moments where Susie is away to have his little chats with Kris.
I’m extremely suspicious that Susie’s deliberately being kept in the dark about everything, and if that’s the case, then why? What would her knowledge of these things change? Would it throw the progression of their journey off course somehow? What power would she hold, and why would the forces keeping her in the dark not want her to have it?
