He is also keenly against opening Dark Fountains, in a very uncharacteristic way. Whenever we go see Susie while Ralsei and Kris are alone, he is also seen finishing telling Kris something when we switch control back. Furthermore, he is aware of what *should* be happening based on his reaction to Susie being uninterested in Noelle's room in the "Side B" story. Since his existence he lived alone in his own kingdom, yet knows many unique things about the Dark World and its fountains.

* Also, Ralsei starts showing signs that he knows more than he's letting on. More importantly, we know Kris loves his brother and misses him. Despite the SOUL-less persona seeing more violent, we know that Kris themselves are harmless: they had friendships with people, interests and relationships, even if they were a bit creepy. Furthermore, the whole shenanigans with removing the SOUL shows that Kris has some agency over their actions (or the ability to subvert the SOUL). Can be in small things (not being able to play the piano) or more serious things (forcing them to turn Noelle into a killer). * In chapter 2 we can see that Kris is their own person and us (the SOUL) is disrupting him somehow. Playing through the game, I can grasp a possible reason behind the story of the game, although I'm pretty sure there will be more elements showing more possibilities in the upcoming chapters.
