I haven't been here in forever. Anyway, I wanna talk about Deltarune chapter 3 and 4. Spoilers below! I have not succeeded in making a read more/read less button, so I'm putting a sfw Sasuke here. Folks that don't want spoilers, just enjoy Sasuke and move on.

Anyway I absolutely LOVED chapters 3 and 4. There's so much to digest there, but I'll be honest the beginning of chapter 4 got me the most. When I stumbled on that scene in the Holiday's kitchen where they just walk off screen and play the piano, I had to put down my steam deck because I started crying. I think Toby Fox does such a good job of making these really simple, poignant moments that feel so important to the core of the story- and yet it's possible to just completely miss moments like that. Hell, I missed the scene with Asgore in Carol and Rudy's room entire until I watched someone else's playthrough. I will say, one of the things that peeves me a little about fan responses is the idea that 'Susie is the main character.' I understand what they're getting at, but that's not really what 'main character' is, y'know? A main character is a synonym for a protagonist, which within Deltarune is soley us/Kris. Now, is Susie the moral heart of the story? 100% yes. Without Susie being what she is, the moral tone of the story would completely shift and would probably be a weaker narrative overall. But beyond that, I'm honestly so curious about the prophecy. It definitely feels like there's a red herring of 'Susie might not actually be in the prophecy', especially with the presence of the heart on the image. But I'm definitely on the side of thinking the 'bad thing' that's supposed to happen will likely be that Kris is going to die in some way and Susie is going to do something with us/the soul. Either way, I'm super hyped that we only have a year until chapter 5 this time!
