not that I wasn't already convinced IMAGE_FRIEND are Gaster's little minions (yes, there are multiple RE: Pink's new dialogue, the endogeny-like sprite Ralsei shows us, and the multiple that show up in the fight against eram) ... but it just occured to me that the elemental pairing being puppet/cat . well it can't mean nothing, right. does jt not seem to imply that the cats could be HIS puppets??? this doesn't say anything about spamton (unless he's secretly a catboy) but towards the end of the battle, Pink does have those green wires. and Seam is a cat plushie which is like close enough I guess. can be think of any other puppets/cats

speaking of Pink's new dialogue, the idea that it's something Toby put in to stop the fraud allegations is quite funny, also not impossible. or maybe it was just forgotten? but if not, I feel like this is something that was meant to be revealed early chapter 6 since we're taking her to castle town. There is literally zero reason for us not to take her to castle town, we literally said it's an option cause she was sad about losing the dark world like. obviously we're not just gonna leave her there right. Jevil and Spamton have been in Kris' pocket this whole time and the Knight and Gerson ... obviously can't come to castle town. but Pink never turned into a piece of equipment she's literally normal. everyone else we recruited is coming too obviously but especially Pink. just want to make that clear

feels like this is all building towards a confrontation with IMAGE_FRIEND ... I'm excited
