I love how in this scene ralsei is just explaining why everyone's a moron

[Samuel-mszu]

So I thought Ralsei was lying but then I went back and fought Jevil again and he mentions the roaring in his post battle dialogue

[leedlelel]

The reason this scene legit has me horrified is because of how specific it was, and that basically implies to me that this will inevitably happen

[cogravent]

I love how Toby used the Don't forget leitmotif in this song, changing it to more tragic melody.

[semidecent]

I personally like the theory that Ralsei survived an instance of the Roaring, and that’s why he’s all alone. It would also explain why he’s so desperate to be sweet and nice to make friends, he’s been alone in darkness for a long time

[The_Gamer_]

It's kind of unsettling how Ralsei snaps during this scene.

[ricedanan]

The Dark Truth: I didn't think they'd actually use the name I gave them. Now everyone enters YOURMOM town.

[randomguy]

This cutscene genuinely gave me chills. The music strayed so far from the rest of the ost and seeing Ralsei's demeanour shift from fluffy boi who bakes cakes in a cauldron to someone with such urgency in their eyes... and then of course, the whiplash of coming straight back to fun goofy dialogue made sure that the moment was short but affective!

[DogsRNice]

The dark truth: sans befriended your mom, dad, *and grandmother*

[liarprincessxblindprinceni]

i love the part when ralsei reveals that if we don't seal the fountains a destruction similar to the rumbling would happen

[BimbusBobus]

when ralsei says "What... in the world are you all doing?" he looks legitimately terrified.
that part was pretty CRAZY duuude!!! it was BONKERS!!! im going BANANAS just thinking about it!!!
CRASH BANDICOOT!?!?!?!?!?

[Rangerchips]

When Sans gives you his Phone number, but you get redirected to Idiot Babies Hotline

[TheAdvertisement]

Reasons Ralsei isn't lying:
- We already witness two darkners turn to stone this chapter, and it's stated in this cutscene that all darkners would turn to stone if the world fell to darkness.
- Queen has nothing to counter this, she legitimately didn't know about any side effects of creating dark fountains.
- Ralsei alludes to something really bad happening if the balance of light and dark is shifted too much in the Legend in Ch1. It's the whole reason you head out to seal the King's fountain.
- Jevil mentions the roaring after his fight in Ch1.
- The song in the OST is quite literally called The Dark _Truth!_ Why would Toby lie in the title of one of his songs?

[FelipeSouza-gbyf]

This track is genuinely so chilling and impactful, very underrated.

[ismarbegovic]

Ralsei snapped here and told us something we should have known earlier. This part was very chilling and interesting.

[bingusshlingus]

I feel personally, that ralsei may be hiding something in the sense of wanting to actually protect his friends. Mainly cause in the castletown darkworld, these some stone with the same eye engravings as the titans. Perhaps the fluffy boy is holding back stuff cause it just brings up a lotta pain? I mean, he IS the only surviving og castle town dark-ner that isn't bound to one world.

Ralsei saying: is that your idea of paradise was so badass

[gildedsquid]

The dark truth: you found the queen is *deeply* related to chaos king

[pedrito]

I hope this song gets used again in a later chapter. It's such a sad song used just for a small lore scene.

[Miksy]

According to ralsei’s terrified face, ralsei has seen, experienced and survived a roaring, that viped out all drakners, turning them into statues, that sooner or later turned into a pile of dust in the cliffs in the first dark world... It’s a good thing ralsei is fixing it!
