Big Deltarune spoilers for Chapter 5 (I'm not even friggin done lol, but I have to say this while it's still in my brain.)
Nicepants is not doomed and there is a 99% chance we will see the nicecream man cry, and idk if my heart can take it.
First of all, obviously, Burgerpants needs time to process stuff, but sometime during that timeframe Bratty needs to step up and take responsibility. Saying something along the lines of "I tricked him into doing it" and "He seriously just wanted to make you happy" to Burgerpants. Once there's the realization that the anger was mostly misdirected at the wrong person, then I can see them making up, even more so if the nicecream guy ends up crying from all the feelings of loneliness, guilt, and loss he has going on inside of him. (Like, idk how you could see that and not think he's genuine if this does goes down that way.)
Also, the parallels between nicepants and that other (successful) Blue and Yellow-colored relationship in the dark world are not lost on me, so I have even more hope that this will get better as we go along.
