Theory: What Kris’ initial save file actually is.

SpoilerTheory

I’m sure everyone has began to hear about the infamous Kris-Noelle Knight theory that has been floating around the community for a couple of days but if you haven’t, I’d recommend watching the video by JRVanity because a lot of what I’m about to say assumes their theory is at least partially correct. Ok? Ok i’m glad that you all have watched it and now onto my thoughts.

Remember how the first time you save in DELTARUNE, you overwrite Kris’ save? I have a theory that this save came about at the end of the Weird Route.

Assume Kris-Noelle Knight is correct and the timeline does reset at the end of the weird route, I think the reason why the knight exists was because they SAVED their game at the end of the Weird Route, ensuring that they would always appear in DELTARUNE.

I believe the save we originally overwrite when we first save is not just Kris but actually the save file the Knight made when it was first created.

Chapter 7 Side B will be about the creation of the Knight and have the Soul Inhabit the vessel, Ending with the game looping back to chapter 1.

But that’s just a theory.
