Anyone else notice that the two optional boss fights are very Susie focused? Gerson one very obviously but even the Knight tends to focus on Susie being the key player.

It makes me wonder if the game is planning a protagonist shift. We already have the zelda game foreshadowing the idea of control switching over to susie. Susie is proving to be more of a protagonist than Kris who has shown to be an antagonistic force.

The very first thing the game does when it starts up is shit on the concept of empty vessels you self-insert into. Maybe that logic is also applying to the idea of silent protags and the game is suggesting that it is more interesting when your protagonist talks and has more of a personality.
