DESS CANNOT BE THE KNIGHT AND TO CLAIM OTHERWISE IS A REACH AS HEINOUS AS THE PEOPLE WHO UNIRONICALLY BELIEVE IN "ASRIEL KNIGHT" OR "PAPYRUS EXISTS."

DELTARUNE FANS WILL SEE THE MOST EASY-TO-FOLLOW TELEGRAPHED FORESHADOWING AND THEN JUST CALL IT A "RED HERRING" AND A "TRICKY TONY MOMENT" ISTG HERE IS AN INCOMPLETE LIST OF REASONS IT IS LOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR DESS TO BE THE KNIGHT: 1. IN CHAPTER 4, IF YOU SKIP THE SUSIE CUTSCENE, YOU ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO THINK ABOUT THE KNIGHT. THE NARRATION DESCRIBES HER TAKING OFF HER HELMET AND THEN KRIS FRANTICALLY SCRAMBLES TO CHANGE THE POV TO JOCKINGTON. OBVIOUSLY, THE HEART CURRENTLY HAS NO WAY TO KNOW WHAT DESS ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE. SO THIS REACTION WOULD MAKE NO SENSE IN A DESS KNIGHT WORLD. 2. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE SAME PERSON TO BE THE OUTSIDE-OF-CANON "LOST GIRL" AND ALSO THE EXTRA BOSS OF CHAPTER 3, BECAUSE THE KNIGHT IS DEMONSTRATED IN CHAPTERS 3 AND 4 TO HAVE FREE ACCESS TO THE LIGHT WORLD AND BE ABLE TO PHYSICALLY HAUL A LIGHTNER ACROSS TOWN. YOU CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN THIS WITH THE NONLINEARITY OF TIME IN #DESSJAIL, BECAUSE EACH CHAPTER'S DESS DIALOGUE IS CIRCUMSTANTIALLY SIMULTANEOUS WITH THE CHAPTER IT'S BUNDLED WITH (AS DEMONSTRATED BY SPAMTON'S SHOP QUOTE SPECIFICALLY QUOTING THE *PREVIOUS* CHAPTER'S DESS DIALOGUE). SO DESS KNIGHT WOULD REQUIRE THE KNIGHT TO BE A POSTCANON DESS PERFORMING A FULL LOOP OF THE GAME'S STORY AFTER FULLY BREAKING OUT OF #DESSJAIL IN ORDER TO... SHRUG??? 2a. THIS ISN'T AN EXPLICIT CONTRADICTION BUT IT BEARS REPEATING. IF THE KNIGHT ACTUALLY WERE DESS, WHY WOULD SHE BE DOING ANY OF THIS. WHY WOULD SHE BE *WILLINGLY WORKING WITH HER ABUSIVE MOM*. THE KNIGHT CLEARLY HAS FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT TOPSIDE, GIVEN THE ABOVEMENTIONED "PHYSICALLY DRAGGING A LIGHTNER INTO THE SHELTER" SCENE AND HER NOTED PROPENSITY FOR CHILLING IN WALK-IN CLOSETS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. CAROL HAS A CLEARLY LEGIBLE MOTIVE, SHE WANTS TO REVIVE DESS AT ANY COST. WHAT WOULD A HYPOTHETICAL DESS KNIGHT EVEN WANT? IN ORDER TO BE THE KNIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE, DESS HAS TO ALREADY HAVE MET THE CONDITIONS NECESSARY FOR HER TO HAVE NO REASON TO BE PART OF THE CONSPIRACY. 2b. THIS IS ALSO NOT AN EXPLICIT CONTRADICTION BUT WHY WOULD DESS SUDDENLY CHANGE TARGETS FROM TORIEL TO UNDYNE. IT IS BELIEVABLE THAT DESS WOULD HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST TORIEL, SINCE PARATEXTUAL EVIDENCE SUGGESTS TORIEL HAD A HAND IN HER DISAPPEARANCE OR HELPED COVER IT UP SOMEHOW. BUT IT IS UNCLEAR WHETHER DESS AND UNDYNE WOULD HAVE EVER INTERACTED. AND WITH NO OFFENSE TO UNDYNE, SHE KIND OF SUCKS AT EVERYTHING, ON ACCOUNT OF HAVING FIRST STEPPED INTO A DARK WORLD FIVE SECONDS AGO. SO SHE'S NOT AN ACTUAL *THREAT*. CAROL, MEANWHILE, HAS A VERY CLEAR MOTIVE FOR HAULING UNDYNE INTO THE SHELTER: SHE'S HER BOSS. UNDYNE CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO FIND OUT ABOUT CAROL'S CONSPIRACY. 3. ANY WORLD WITH DESS KNIGHT HAS TO COME UP WITH AN EXPLANATION FOR WHY CHAPTER 3'S KNIGHT INTENTIONALLY PUTS ON THE FLAIR OF AN INHUMAN FORCE OF NATURE WHILE CHAPTER 4'S IS A PETTY MOTHERFUCKER WITH A GRUDGE *REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THE FIGHT*. ANY WORLD WITH CAROL KNIGHT CAN SIMPLY RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A CONSEQUENCE OF CAROL RETURNING HOME AFTER CONSTRUCTING THE SANCTUARY FOUNTAINS AND WITNESSING ONE OF THE THREE HEROES DISRESPECTING HER DAUGHTER'S GUITAR. 4. IF THE KNIGHT WERE TO BE DESS, A NOTED MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST WHO PLAYS LITERALLY EVERY SPORT, THEN WHY IS HER WEAPON THE KATANA FROM THE KITCHEN, INSTEAD OF FIGHTING USING DARK WORLD COUNTERPARTS OF HER MOST ICONIC POSSESSIONS (THE GUITAR OR THE HOCKEY STICK). 5. DID YOU KNOW THAT DESS HAS AN ACTUAL APPEARANCE IN CHAPTER 4? IF YOU TRY TO BACKTRACK AFTER SEALING THE TITAN AND VIEWING THE FINAL PROPHECY CUTSCENE, SHE GENTLY PLACES HER HAND AGAINST KRIS'S FROM OFFSCREEN AND PUSHES THEM BACK, THEN SLAPS THEM WITH A GUITAR WITH THE VOLUME TURNED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ZERO IN THE CODE SO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS. THIS IS FULLY CONSISTENT WITH HOW THE "LOST GIRL" IS DESCRIBED AS EXISTING "OUT OF BOUNDS," AS SHE IS HIDDEN ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF A SCREEN TRANSITION. WHAT THIS IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH IS THE FACT THAT, WHEN THE THIRD SANCTUARY IS SEALED, THE KNIGHT IS ONCE AGAIN CHILLING IN A WALK-IN CLOSET. BEHIND A DOOR. DOORS IN THE LIGHT WORLD CORRESPOND TO DOORS IN THE DARK WORLD, AS DEMONSTRATED WITH THE THIRD SANCTUARY'S DOOR IN THIS SAME CHAPTER. ERGO THE ROOM DESS IS PUSHING BACK ON KRIS FROM PHYSICALLY CANNOT BE THE ROOM THE KNIGHT SPAWNS INTO IN THE LIGHT WORLD, BECAUSE THERE'S NO DOOR.
