It’s really weird to see how apathetic (I guess) Susie and Noelle are to killing things. Like, they’re definitely questioning and judging Kris for the decision (mostly before getting to QC’s house, then they start acknowledging the Soul a little bit) but they just… let it go really fast. I’m sure it’d be annoying to have them go on a rant after every kill but it’s strange to see them just refuse to talk about it any further than like 3 lines of dialogue, no “hey, care to explain ?” or “can we talk about what prompted that ?” Just an occasional “WHAT THE HECK KRIS ???” or “Kris, that’s messed up”.
It does feel a bit jarring. Somehow more jarring than if you've just been on a particularly dusty neutral route. On a normal neutral route, violence is an established option. You're not hunting the monsters down, but you're not making peace with them either. It's what I'd call the 'self defence' route. Here, 'Kris' has established that peace is an option, and you've even made peace. So what follows is outright murder. That should be alienating, especially as these are the same companions you've gone through Chapter 1 and 2 with (presumably peacefully if the SOUL is being consistent up until that point). It's like having a friend who's as pure as the driven snow, and one day they just murder a puppy. It's not just horrific, it's *weird* . Obviously the writers have limitations, but this is why I tend to stick to either pure pacifist or pure genocide. The story really starts to fray at the edges otherwise. Even genocide feels inconsistent as the story has to go to greater and greater extremes to explain why the party is still going along with your increasingly insane and needlessly cruel actions.
It’s kinda nice how he sets it down if you don’t have room and then you can pick it up later it shows that he’s kinda already getting better i would’ve expected him to keep both the sword and the bandana
So... are we NOT gonna talk about Sans' psychotic laugh when you kill him? And the way a quarter of his face falls off just before? Genuinely freaky stuff.

I'd argue that because these enemies are significantly more hostile than any from Section 1 and 2, they might be more willing to let it go.
It feels like they’re starting to enjoy it even though they know it’s wrong kinda but aren’t showing it
I like how, in some parts, Kris looks directly in the player direction. As if know your watching
It’s kinda nice how he sets it down if you don’t have room and then you can pick it up later it shows that he’s kinda already getting better i would’ve expected him to keep both the sword and the bandana
Yeah I kinda wish he would be like yeah I'm gonna turn over a new leaf ,but since you felt like being a jerk no item for you

There's also a bit of new dialogue if you try putting some of those enemies to sleep instead of sparing
You can rude buster sans
now do one for section 1 and 2
