There's no reason to assume that the UNUSED text is something happening concurrently with the game.
We could just be getting bits of Dess's memories from when she was lost in the dark. Undertale does something similar with Frisk seeing Chara's memories at different points in the story.

I think it's easy for people like us who have been intensely scrutinizing the game for the better part of the last decade to forget that the average player's experience is nothing like ours and they aren't hyper-vigilant about every clue Toby is putting on the table for us.
If you were already very familiar with what we knew about Dess from every drop of information you could squeeze out of the first two Chapters and the Spamton Sweepstakes, then you probably immediately jumped to the conclusion that The Knight was Dess as soon as you saw that they had antlers and DEFINITELY called it when she pulls out a baseball bat.
But the average player is not going to immediately recognize that and probably doesn't know they have all the pieces they need to put that together. The average player is being led to believe that Carol is The Knight, with Chapter 4 presenting her as an obvious villain collaborating with Kris and even throwing stuff out there like her having a giant fucking katana. But whether you know Dess is the Knight or not doesn't really matter, because the actual tension and payoff is what's going to happen when The Knight's identity is revealed to the characters in the story. For now, we just have the pleasure of appreciating the subtle hints that other people will have to go back and appreciate in hindsight.

The Knight isn't standing straight. Making height comparisons where one character is hunched over is silly.
