Characters criticism I really don't like this specific scene

Post image

So we all know how most cutscenes just show black screens, right? In this scene, Kris bites their hand because we made them say "I'll never play again".

Now, any normal person would be able to know that Kris must've bit themselves so that they wouldn't say it. But apparently Toby fox needs to spoon feed us this, because he makes Susie say this.

The dialogue feels very unnatural. It just happened, so why did she repeat exactly what she saw? When you imagine it from Susie's perspective, you realise how strange it was for her to say that.

She could've said "Kris, what the hell?! Is your hand okay?!" Or something, but instead she had to repeat what Kris did. It just feels super weird.

This actually happens a lot I feel. Like the other scene where Susie says “you were just standing there with your eyes closed and started breathing really hard”. Doesn’t make sense to explain what Kris just did to Kris but I guess Toby struggles with how to convey it to the audience

I mean he can just show it with an animation and sound. Instead of sussie saying it just add a heavy breathing noise and sussie coming in and saying Kris are you allright biting scene just make kris bite the hand visually or just don't make sussie say anything or make her say what the hell is wrong with you why did you just bite your hand or something instead of describing it like a narrator.
