it's really funny how the best evidence against the "kris is evil" theory is what happens in snowgrave/the weird route, the playthrough where you make kris do some of the most unambiguously evil shit possible in the game (so far)
i'm not uploading the 23 bespoke screenshots i took of the beginning of the conversation between kris and noelle in her room in the weird route to illustrate my point, instead i'm going to transcribe below what noelle says to kris:
*Last night, I... I couldn't sleep.
*Every time I closed my eyes...
*All I could see was snow.
*I was terrified, Kris.
*I went out on the porch to breathe, and...
*That's when I felt it.
*A hand on my shoulder.
*I froze.
*And then I heard your voice.
*Kris's voice.
*You said, sorry for being weird at the hospital Noelle.
*You said, it was all a stupid prank.
*You said, Berdly was going to get better.
*... Kris, your voice, your deadpan, mumbly voice...
*Even if you sounded kind of weak and shaky...
*I don't know why, but it felt so long since I heard it.
little buddy is working fucking overtime to undo everything a snowgrave player does. they dragged berdley's blue ass to the hospital, snuck out to comfort noelle, tried to lessen the harm of what had already happened, and it's obviously taken a big toll on them. i mean how much can you even do, in a position like theirs? where you have to rip something out of you and move in secret to do anything of substance, anything you want to do? we don't know how long this has been going on (potentially, like, the majority of their entire life, based on another snippet of dialogue in the holiday house where noelle recounts kris pretending to rip their heart out and chase her around when they were kids) but i'm sure being a passenger to your own existence has never been more exhausting than when the driver is trying to make you do countless cruelties. i don't know what they're working towards, if they're solely being manipulated by carol or dess or another entity or if they have their own selfish motives, but i really do not think kris is evil.
