There’s a rent notice in Asgore’s flower shop written by someone with the first initial “C.” Decent odds it’s Carol Holiday.

And Noelle definitely has repressed trauma, but I don’t think she inadvertently killed her sister or anything of that scope, mostly because that’s too grim. I figure she maybe caused a car crash or injured Asgore or something similarly bad but not fatal.

During the car segment, Queen says that she thought Noelle would be interested in hitting the cars based on her search history. So there is a non-negligable chance that Dess' death was car related which would explain her fixation. Asgore could also easily be involved, especially if that happened to be the reason why Noelle's mother fired him from the police. So it seems more likely to be Asgore's fault than anyone else's if that's what happened. That's one theory anyways.

I don't think Toby is too limited on how grim he'll go given snowgrave, but it probably won't be anything too obvious or simple.

Noelle caused the blizzard that her sister disappeared in but she can't say that she's dead though

For Spec 1, she states that she doesn't know what the spell does. Also, she talks more about Desi in the Pacifist route which would point more towards missing her rather than feeling guilty.

I thought she said she didn't know the spell, yet she was still able to do it.

A lot of it's going to depend on if Berdly is actually a frozen nugget now, or if he's just taking an extended nap.

Killing off a character like that off for good in this way almost feels too grim, but then, well. Yeah.

I'm curious to see how the normal/weird routes work out over multiple chapters, like if Berdley is dead/in a coma from chapter 2 weird how would the game account for him appearing later in the normal route? Would you just be locked into the weird route, will the chapter's cast fade into the background so theres no major clashes or will there just be an insane amount of reactivity to account for every permutation of normal/weird chapters?

It's entirely possible he just won't really have nearly as much story presence in the following chapters period until maybe the very end.

What I'm interested in is how Toby intends to use the chapter select in the story. There's been some hints that and the multiple save system is going to have some twist at some point, and I really wanna know how that ends up factoring into things.

I noticed something small that I never put together before about Noelle's theme yesterday--2/3 of the way through the song, the melody sounds like an ambulance siren.

Timestamped, but if the timestamp doesn't work skip to 0:51:

Could be a reference to seeing Rudy get taken to the hospital, or whatever happened to Dess, or both

Keep in mind, on a "good" route where you don't properly help Berdly and he fries his arm getting the helmet off, he talks about not being able to move his arm after waking up. I'd be shocked if in both circumstances it was some coincidental/temporary damage.

Still can't help but think it's combining with Noelle wishing she had healing magic to foreshadow a dark world hospital scenario with her dad, and possibly helping him. Or honestly, anyone being "healed" in the dark world who was hurt in the real world.

i assume that with the growth of the team, and his general awareness of how hosed up his wrist is, that he's taking proper care of it and using alternate methods to accomplish things. letting other people handle it, using voice typing, whatever

I hope Toby deliberately drops chaps 3-5 to completely derail some over-budgeted AAA title's launch. Sorry Starfield, fluffy boys are stealing your hype.

We only got like 24 hour notice for both chapters too. First chapter was some Gaster-like tweets, second chapter has a sitcom-like play through of the first chapter with the announcement at the end.
