kris and the player are two separate entities. one is forced to be a host, the other is forced to be a parasite. every time that the player resets, kris forgets the previous timeline, unaware that their loss of bodily autonomy hasn't been happening for a few days, but for years. the player reaches the 7th chapter. kris' world ends. it is reset again by the player. something is different this time. The player, Kris' personal demon, has established contact. not just between them and kris, but also kris and themselves. from parasite and host, to host and symbiote. now all they have to do is find the players true body. the easiest way to do that? they simply rip the timeline into a thousand mixelated bits. --- This fanfiction is being written in 2024. chapter 2 is the most recently released chapter. this fic is headcanon-heavy due to a current lack of information surrounding lighters and magic/DT. expect most of the plot to make no sense when considering the actual finished version of deltarune.
