Now take it one step beyond, into the realm of pure speculation.
If this was all true, that Vessel was meant to be Hero 1, Noelle was meant to be Hero 2, Kris was meant to be the Knight, wouldn't the last major role also stand to be different?
Hero 3, the Prince Alone in Deepest Dark. Why would that one be the same here? Ralsei is intrinsically tied to Kris from all angles. If everyone else had their roles changed, surely his was too, right?
And there's two prime candidates for that role:
>The "prince" of the Dark Worlds where Toriel and Asgore take royal forms, Asriel
or, more interestingly
>The one "alone in deepest dark" for years who has a strong connection to Noelle, Dess
Prince doesn't fit Dess perfectly, Alone in Deepest Dark doesn't fit Asriel perfectly, but they both stand as clear candidates for who would have been in that third hero role.
