0:00 How do you make a friend? By sharing the same interest, starting a conversation, maybe fate. No matter the way, the value of the relationship could scale from the person being worth a summer ant to that person being your whole world. What about family? If the bond is strong enough, does one trump the other or do they just become the same? What do things like friends and family mean to Susie? I wasn't asking cuz it doesn't matter
0:32 how you think Susie values those things. Your choices don't matter. It's up to her. And she has yet to paint the whole picture for us. With chapter 5 veering his head around the corner, I urgently wanted to talk about Suzie cuz I feel like people didn't talk enough about this one thing that's been bothering me since chapter 1. So, let a brother yap for a little bit. Let's talk about our favorite purple dinosaur or dragon. This isn't my usual style video, so I would greatly
1:03 appreciate if y'all just drop a like, give a constructive comment, or drop a sub so I so I could just know if y'all want to be to make more content in this style or more Delta Root content altogether. Really, Suzie is loud, brash, headstrong, and most importantly, caring. And that was only after we got to know her. At first glance, Suzie is seen as angsty, antisocial, and straight up mean. Think about that
1:34 one friend before you met them. How quiet they were. How they were possibly just meaning any [music] person they didn't know. But once you knew them, it was just night and day. It was a completely different person. And they would just light up a room just like that. Literally, once you're given the directive to get some chalk with Suzie, most of your classmates talk to you like you're a dead kid walking. Each having some sort of negative comment about Suzie, even Alfus feels remorseful and
2:05 she's the one who paired you up with her. On a second playthrough, it's clear as day Suzie is a fake demon from threatening to eat your face off and her only reasoning stopping her from doing such things is she doesn't want to make your mother cry. Yeah. Hi. Susie introduction struck me as the kid in elementary school or middle school that other kids labeled as the school bully. didn't have many or any friends, didn't talk much to people, or any interactions were strange or kind of passed around as
2:36 like a playground rumor. Mind you, Chris and their classmates are prepubescent teens [music] with lack of a fully developed frontal lobe. Different means weird, and in the school environment, those labels either force you in a group of like-minded individuals or ostracized by your peers. Now, the toughest part in these moments is finding your own identity. Cuz factors like these and the social environment, it's either you make your own identity or play into the label that was given to you. For a kid like
3:08 Susie, it's sink or swim. Suzie initially plays into the role of [music] the bully. But in reality, we learn that Susie just wanted someone to call a friend, someone she could feel comfortable with to be herself. Yeah, she doesn't act like anyone else, but who cares? That's just what makes her cool. The idea of conforming to the social role often is a plea to get any sort of social interaction because yeah, she is bullying some people, but at least for her, she has talked to
3:38 somebody at the sacrifice of meaningful ways to find her selfworth, but just like we don't know the full picture of Chris's home life. Susie is just as big of a mystery. from avoiding calling her parents the reasoning for her constant moving and much more examples. When someone is acting out in school, it's either something going on in [music] their school life or they got troubles from home or some just do it for the love of the game and they're just straight menaces. Clearly, something's
4:09 going on in Suz's home life or lack thereof impacting how she interacts with people or how she feels comfortable to open up to new people. There's something Suzie doesn't like. Quiet people and people who don't show the full picture. And man, who would do such a thing? For example, remember when I said Susie was a fake demon? That angsty bully persona fully disarmed by Lancer's genuine praise after giving him the most backhanded compliment on his villain
4:42 laugh. Imagine being an outcast for so long and the idea of someone giving your thoughts the time of day seems like utter fiction. This would be Suz's first quote unquote friend. I'm acting parenthesis because the way she acted when Lancer betrayed her showed signs that this isn't the first time Susie's been betrayed by a friend. Lancer opened up an old wound cuz that felt almost natural. Quick aside, this call between Susie and Lancer feels like a foreshadowing of what's to come because Chris isn't being fully honest with
5:13 Suzie. And depending on the route, it's either you patch things up with Suzie or create a rift so wide that the next encounter could possibly end far worse than we can imagine. Clearly, Chris has been good about protecting their deepest feelings from the player. So, I can't really see how they feel about the Darkers, but I know one thing for sure. Susie loves the dark. From not caring about the prophecy and playing the role as the hero to devoting herself to save
5:43 the dark world and defying fate itself to protect those she cares most dearest. Susie found her family and she doesn't want to let go. My own room, huh? A sense Susie ponders on before thanking Rossley for customizing a room to her liking. A place of her own and a place she calls home. It's not going anywhere. a room that will always be there. This planted the seed, as corny as it may sound, Susie's been struck by the power of friendship. Susie's funny. She has this cool girl persona, but will be
6:14 emotionally guardbroken by any uplifting comment or moments where her point of view is being encouraged. Chris may have a heart, but I know Suz's is made of gold. With every chapter, we see more of her reach out and help with the best of her capabilities. It may not be perfect, but she has the passion to act on her own and help who she sees needs help. Like Tenna, I know chapter 3 is more focused on divorce and the effects it has on your television, but when Tenno
6:44 was at his lowest, he desperately clinged on to the good days of being the family TV and yearning for that attention and tying his selfworth [music] to being washed and fearing to be tossed like junk. Susie resonated with Tana and she has related those [music] kinds of feelings where she had the difficulty of making friends. She was treated as a scary girl or the bad girl and no one would approach her genuinely when it came to friendship. It either came off as a joke or whenever she actually made
7:15 a friend, she ended up moving. Thanks to people like Toriel, Chris, and Rousec, she rebuilt that hope, making real connections with people [music] and making friends. What I will always find funny is how fast Chris and Suzie become friends because the gap between chapters is like from one day to another. They really connected like guy friendships [music] where you run into a random guy with a shirt you think is cool and suddenly this stranger is someone you're willing to go to war [music] with. Over the chapters, Susie finds herself making many friends. For example, having a
7:46 heart-to-he [music] heart with Noel in the Ferris wheel, giving us a clear outlook of Noel's relationship with death and how she draws parallels to her and Suzie as they seem to be very similar by nature and create a certain feeling of comfort around them. Rosi making Suzie feel important, motivating her every step of the way. Even with the knowledge he knows, he protects her from the burden ever falling on her. Toriel being motherly to Suzie sparking the hope that everyone has a purpose. No matter who you are, there was always
8:16 somebody rooting for you. I can't lie. Toriel set the lob sparking that hope in her heart only for Gerson to dunk through and setting her heart ablaze with hope giving her the confidence to step forward and lead in her story. I can't help but feel happy for Seuss, which makes it gut-wrenching to do weird route because you can clearly see the rift being made between you and Susie. Susie might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but she surely isn't blind.
8:48 The farther you go down this path, he'll catch on cuz what you're doing is the exact thing [music] she wants to stop. Which is why she'll most likely be the last guard defending the fort. Cuz our yes, our destructive path put everything she holds dear in danger. [music] She's made it this far and she doesn't want to move again and lose hope once more. Mind you, all of Delta Rune supposed to happen in a span of the week. I would be
9:20 crashing out if I lost all of that within the 7 days of progress. I think because Chris has been her closest friends [music] where she felt comfortable to trust, to be open with, it would cut deeper when we did betray her. Damn. Wait, hold up. Did Wait, did I say we? Man, that's a Freudian slip. I mean, we do control Chris. So although Chris has his own plans, we the players still have some sort of control on how deep the cut can be. So it would be fair
9:52 to share the blame. And after the events of chapter 4, Susie couldn't be in any more vulnerable of a state. From the unseen prophecy that angered her, the unsightly sight of Toriel possibly hidden close to home, and the dubious alliance between Chris and Carol Holiday. Chapter 5 is soon to come with how much Toby has avoided to show. I know his ass will be cackling at the emotional typhoon he might put the whole community through. Thank you so much for
10:23 sitting through my yap session about Suzie finding friendship and looking into what she values and how she found a gem of a town full of amazing people. I often have a soft spot for characters breaking out of their shell. See y'all on the flip side for chapter 5. Damn. Now that I got this heartfelt video out of the way, time to rot my brain and power scale how much of a fraud the night
