Chapter 5's theme will be everything NOT working out.
The festival is THE turning point of the story. From here on out it's Toby Fox's wild ride.

Rudy's health. He WILL pass out during the festival.
Asgore's plan. It was never going to work. His spiel afterwards after making a fool of himself will reveal exactly what he did, and why he's "irredeemable."
Toriel actually getting with sans. Despite Kris/Susie/Asgore not wanting this, it will happen.
Burgerpants being catfished. He will NOT magically turn gay after getting tricked this hard.
Noelle getting with Susie. If you haven't been speedreading, you'll know it won't ATLEAST be tested. HARD.
Our weird route file. Kris isn't going to let us ruin his plan and his childhood friend that easily, he's no bitch.
Alphys giving up on Undyne. Just because they got together in Undertale, they have to do it in Deltarune? Asgore is right there, baby.

Feels good to be the good guy.
We must help sans gives Kris a bad time.

we don't know and any definitive answer you get is headcanon
my personal headcanon is that noelle was supposed to be the hero and susie was supposed to be the one who has to die, but susie fucked up the prophecy by going to get chalk with us and becoming the hero
the weird route is trying to force the prophecy back on track (since susie is obviously dedicated to breaking it, and ralsei probably is too) by making noelle strong enough to be the hero while also mindbreaking her into being okay with killing susie. carol and dess are supporting this plan because noelle is family

>Kris is working against Ralsei (assumedly) by opening fountains
>The Soul is working against Ralsei by forcing Kris to do weird route shit
Wouldn't it be funny if in the end Ralsei is just some poor sap who's caught in the middle and in both routes you're going to be forced to fight him

We'll do *ANYTHING* to reach a new future.

Lots of intrigue happening. Our player character resist our (The Players) influence and prevents us from doing certain things.
Basically somebody is opening "dark worlds" by driving a blade into the earth and letting "Darkness" free. If too much darkness comes out, apocalypse. There's WAYYYY more to the situation, but it's mostly a mystery on purpose.
