Spoiler: Ralsei Discussion
Show
Some other interesting things about Ralsei: He did the "Don't you wonder what Susie is up to?" thing in Chapter 1, as well. A theory I've seen floating around is that Ralsei somehow knows about us, and is using these opportunities to get us away from Kris, allowing Ralsei to talk to Kris without our influence. When we return to Kris both times, Ralsei appears to have been having a conversation.

Another interesting, though less substantiative, thing is that the "Prince from the Dark" in the prophecy from Chapter 1 has some kind of fire magic around them, while Ralsei doesn't appear to have anything like that.

There is definitely something going on with Ralsei, but I don't think he's going to be outright evil.
