including with the Susie and Noelle ship.
I have never seen a single relationship, fictional or IRL, with the setup of Susielle that
didn't end up either miserable or outright abusive. Noelle doesn't just have a crush on Susie, she's
obsessed with Susie. She constantly fantasizes and talks about Susie to the point she literally
dreams about her on a regular basis, on top of outright fetishizing how violent Susie is as the school bully. Even when it's directed towards Kris, her childhood friend, Noelle gets wet at the thought of Susie beating the shit out of people.
The even bigger red flag is the fact that she also becomes visibly upset when anyone else gets close to Susie even platonically, then becoming outright possessive and angry if they show romantic interest in her.
A gentle reminder in case anyone forgot; Noelle and Susie barely know each other. They've spoken to each other for more than a sentence
twice, one of which Noelle doesn't even think was real.
The only reason anyone gives Susie x Noelle a pass and ignore how blatantly toxic it is is because it's a (potential) lesbian relationship. It's literally an obsessive stalker lusting over her autistic classmate, and I hope to God Toby is smart enough to see that even through his yurifag fetish goggles.
"the Angel, banished, will finally meet its desire."
We, the player, are the angel. Us being "banished" is Kris permanently removing us from his body after he gets whatever he needs out of us, and "meeting with our desire" is us reuniting with our true vessel from the start of the game. The one we wanted.
Or maybe they revive her as a Darkner, and the Roaring will blur light and dark enough she can cross and stay in the light world? Or it could be about someone or something else entirely. Who knows.
The reason the Black Knife gang want to cause the Roaring is so that the dark world and all it's wonderful gifts become reality. As it stands, the fantasy only lasts as long as the lights stay off. Once the lights come back on the plain, simple truth becomes clear; Darkeners are just objects born from the desires of Lightners, and without the light world they can't exist. But so long as the light world
does exist, they'll never truly be real. They're just a fantasy. Fiction.
So what better way to
make those fantasies real than to wipe out all light and replace it with eternal darkness? That way, Kris gets whatever he wants deep down (probably his family together and happy again or whatever escapist angsty reason he has), Carol gets her daughter back from the dead and her husband healthy again, and everyone everywhere gets whatever they want,
forever.
The whole world becomes a dark fountain that can't be closed because the Earth literally rips itself apart during the Roaring. There's nothing left to seal or banish the darkness back to. It's all just... darkness.
Basically they're choosing the Matrix.
