With Eyes Blinded by Darkness: How And Why Deltarune Deliberately Obscures The Nature Of Kris and Ralsei’s Relationship From The Player by Patchwork_Crow
Fandoms: Deltarune (Video Game)

Summary
Kris and Ralsei are two of the three main characters in Deltarune, and if you judge their relationship across the first four chapters by their mandatory on-screen interactions, you would consider it to be awkward, one-sided and forced.
But what if that's just what they want you to see, and not what's actually going on? What do they talk about when we go and see how Susie is doing? And do they know more about what's going on with each other than they let on?
In the following essay, I shall explain how much of their relationship is kept hidden from the player, how this has led to numerous misunderstandings in the wider fandom, and what that could mean for their roles in the story, setting out what I believe to be a more accurate and comprehensive reflection of their characters than the initial evidence might suggest.

"So how humans pick partner?"
"Well, sexually speaking, I guess a lot of humans go off of looks,” said Grace. “Physical appearance.”
“Physical appearance!” Rocky was scandalized. “No good. Bad variable. Tell you nothing. Have to run experiment. Have to try.”

Summary
There are three statements of life that Langdon knows as absolute fact:
1. Langdon is a straight man. Women are gorgeous, and he has a wife whom he loves very much.
2. The painkillers he uses from the Pitt aren’t the start of a bad habit. He’s not an addict—just a good son recovering from a back injury sustained moving some furniture.
3. His relationship with the medical field is mutualism. He saves countless lives, takes good care of people, but he benefits as well. It keeps his head too busy to think.Robby challenges all those assertions.

Summary
"That's a very pretty speech," Garcia says, and then she goes quiet, and Victoria watches her face do something she has seen before. The face of someone who has just decided they have a card and is deciding whether to play it. "Is that what this is about? Teaching?"
"What else would—"
"Or is it something else." Garcia's eyes move, briefly, to Victoria—just a flick of attention, barely two seconds yet entirely intentional—and back to McKay.
Victoria's stomach drops.
