Forgot to add to this: KRIS DOESN'T NEED US THERE TO CLOSE FOUNTAINS!
Kris closes the fountain at the end of Chapter 3 without us. They, notably can do a LOT without us there at all, along with hiding their power level since they get special moves and other stuff. Plus plus, chapter 4 confirms that closing fountains isn't what raises your LVL, it's... something else.
That does raise the question of why we're here in the first place, but maybe we're needed for some part of the plan to work at all or closing the fountains comes with the * of "You need the angel to possess you in the first place to gain the ability, good luck fucker."
