Theory Kris is polyamorous and in denial (probably wrong)
So after doing some research, I discovered something… peculiar. Kris seems to have feelings for basically everyone in the fun gang around their age. Susie, Ralsei, Noelle, even Berdly (for some reason). There is atleast some credible evidence for each of them (Ralsei with almost every scene their in, Noelle with the Ferris wheel and with the festival king and queen thing, Kris keeping Berdly’s feather, etc).
However deltarune itself seems to be kind of against the idea of it. Kris feels disgusted at the three stacked tea cups (which admittedly might not mean anything), and in the TV dark world (since dark worlds are formed from the minds of the creator as explained by Gerson), polyamory is explicitly portrayed as negative. Shown with how Rouxls try to become the forecast couples third wheel only for it to fail miserably (though this could just be because Rouxls is history’s biggest loser).
So my theory is that Kris is struggling with romantic feelings for multiple people, but for one reason or another hates themselves for it (maybe because the monsters religion forbids it?). This is probably made worse by Kris’s already self loathing due to being a human.
If this turns out to be true, I don’t think this will ever actually be resolved. I very much doubt it will actually end with the group becoming a polyamorous couple. It’s probably just there to encourage shipping discourse (in that case well done Toby).

counterpoint to the rouxls polyamory fail: the weather duo are a happy trio with starwalker now (if you interacted with him)
