Replayed Snowgrave as part of my Total Jackass run, and I think the “(You)r choices stem from Kris’ impulsive/intrusive thoughts” theory has more credence than it seems at first glance. Kris most likely tells Noelle that “It’s natural” to want to see what would happen if she let Kris get electrocuted because based on what we learn from Ramb and Mantle, Kris has been in her shoes. Wanting to push the world and everyone in it to their natural limits is part of what Kris considers or once considered to be “freedom”, at least in the realm of games. But Kris hates himself for feeling like that may apply to reality. “It’s horrible.”
I also think that explains the returning “Proceed” phrase. Because of Kris’ aforementioned desire to see how things play out, no matter how horrible, a tucked-away part of him wants to see how the Weird Route ends as much as wr do.
Also holy shit Snowgrave is such a turnon. I love ryona.
