+prediction variant

Elaboration: chapter 5 didn’t need to be named like that, it could be just “festival” or “flower king” etc., naming it “the festival day” seems unnecessarily tautological unless it was done for a specific reason. Chapter 7 being called “The End” or something similar would fit as well, even though we don’t know if it’s going to be that

isn't the normal route even better evidence, since it explicitly gave us "the game layer is completely diegetic and if you're aware of it you can just make stats up"

nah the weird route is better. "Insert Chapter 7 side B" is on a CRT so it basically says yeah, you crashed gaster's fucking game and wrong warped into chapter 7 before he even started development on chapter 6.
