   Summary

   In the middle of the night, Kris runs away to a place unseen, leaving even their SOUL behind.
   Susie, not content to let them die alone wherever they are, is brought along by the SOUL to search for them.

   An unexpected third party joins in, and Kris' past, present, and future all need to work together.

   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

   Summary

   After the World Machine successfully convinces Player to give up, they uninstall OneShot. TWM didn't expect this, and has just enough power to preserve Niko and themself in a zip bomb before the rest of that decaying world gets deleted.

   Fast forward to today, Player finds the zip file named sretcarahcdevreserp.exe. That's interesting, if you spell it backwards it reads preservedcharacters... but from where?

   Summary

   Noelle Holiday feels like a withering branch on a Christmas Tree. It's all she can do to remain positive and happy even as things crumble around her and others.

   And then someone- someTHING starts speaking in her head, offering a chance to change things...if she helps it with a little problem, first. Namely, getting away from one Kris Dreemurr.

   ...meh. What's a little open-heart surgery between (estranged) friends?
