  Summary

  A normal route Soul does something in chapter 2 that gets Kris curious. What if they entertained the soul, for just a moment? With their willpower and the amount of control they have so far, Kris is certain they can keep this from getting out of hand.
  The overconfidence effect is a cognitive bias in which a person's confidence in their judgements is greater than the accuracy of their judgements.

  In this work I attempt to:
  ✅ get you a vessel
  AND
  ☑️ follow Deltarune's game mechanics
