I just had a strange realization that I feel should've come sooner.
So one of my recent theories proposes that the Prophecy is a collaborative work between Dess and Gaster. Assuming this is true, there would probably need to be some broader foreshadowing, correct? Well, can we think of any other examples of collaborative works in Deltarune?
If you said "no," I don't blame you; the game almost seems to want you to forget about Kris and Susie's school project—their project that, may I remind you, acts as the launching point for the entirety of Deltarune's story. While this, in itself, doesn't mean too much, things become very interesting once you account for the endless parallels between Susie and Dess. And while we're on the topic of parallels, don't tell me you've forgotten about Chapter 3's 1225 room in which a guitar pick falls through Kris's hand as if there's a hole in it...
So Susie is an extremely unsubtle Dess parallel, Kris has glaring parallels with Gaster, and they're growing closer with one another while working on a collaborative project.
Y'all catching what I'm putting down?
