So. What does Swap!Hero's route looks like? Are you going to show it to us at some point?
Okay, so I decided to lay off The Stranger Route for Swap!Hero, thought of it to be more about the Swap!Contrarian by himself ('Cause how Contradicting would that be and it's pretty much what he wanted the whole game) and maybe either keep it as is or make it worse.
But anyways, Swap!Hero's route (This is rough draft):
This is a rough idea but what if you free the princess (without the blade and in this Au, the scared one) and you managed to fight off the control of the Narrator?
Eventually you dropped the blade and the Princess helps you up the stairs but the door is still locked. No one is leaving until the deed is done.
So after a while, the Princess convinces you togo ahead and slay her, but only because she senses something (Kind like in the game that Hero senses something in the Good Ending) and maybe even more if you slay yourself. Contrarian wasn't sure about the idea but also hates being stuck for eternity. So you slayed her, much to the Narrator's delight, but then you slayed yourself against his wishes.
Enter Chapter 2: The Runaway
This is where our Hero came into view, having you believe that the Narrator is a threat. The interior cabin looked more like an interior of a classic tower, with bricks and carpets. You can... Climb up the stairs?
There is where you will meet The Runaway.
Still have the grace and beauty of a princess but she is more level-headed and determined. She is thrilled to see her plan work and you coming back.
Yes, you can slay her or romance her, or betray her. But right now we'll the route of you and the princess finding scattered objects to free her and yourselves, only to be met with traps and unwinding paths, as the Narrator attempts to stop you (also Hero's your impulsive support right now while Contrarian takes the backseat as the more cautious one, anything to not follow the Narrator.)
That's all I got for now, but I assure it will get worse and that's where when it's gonna come tumbling down for Swap!Hero.
Just some stuff in between all the requests.
I feel like if Hunted is really feeling it sometimes, if someone gets so much as a paper cut around him they are going in the nest, no questions asked.
“You’re injured.”
“It’s just a chipped nail, I hit a blood vessel but the blood will stop any minute now-“
“You’re. Injured.”

The Paralyzed is highly alert and often fretting over one thing or another. He isn't vicious, but he isn't fully kind, either.
The Paralyzed represents the Voice of the Paranoid in Path Through the Woods. His foil is the Voice of the Solace.

Get ready to look at the princess’s face
ABSOLUTELY CUTESY

I'm glad that I can infect other people with my hyperfixation, so that we can all be in these woods together. I wasn't sure whether you wanted this to be a ship or not so I left it up to interpretation. Anyway, enjoy!)
"Hello?"
Go away.
"Is anyone out here?"
Please leave. Please leave.
"Para? Are you here?"
They were following him. They were hurting him.
"Para?"
They were getting closer and closer and closer-
"Oi! There you are!"
Paranoid let a frightened yell out, scrambling out of the bush that he had been hiding behind.
The world spun, a dark and imposing blur in front of him, and Paranoid knew they were here to kill him, that's why they had been following him all day.
"Paranoid! It's me, Stubborn!"
Paranoid choked on a gasp, pressing himself against a tree as he struggled to control his fear and anxiety, having to blink many times before his vision focused again.
His eyes and throat stung, but he managed to focus enough on the voice before him to realise that yes, it was Stubborn in front of him. But that didn't make him feel better one bit.
"Para? What's going on?" Stubborn asked, annoyance on his face and in his voice. "You just freaked out and ran out into the woods. What's wrong?"
"Go- away," Paranoid gritted out, but Stubborn just crossed his arms and said, "Can't do that, especially when you've got everyone else worried about you."
A pang of guilt did come through Paranoid in that moment, before it was immediately overtaken by his fear.
What else was he supposed to do? Let those eyes follow him and lead him to danger? No. No, no, no, no- he was not going to die this way, not after everything he's been through.
Stubborn tried beckoning him forward. "Look, let's just go back inside where you can't hurt yourself even more."
Paranoid shook his head, curling up into a ball. "No. I can't."
Stubborn sighed in exasperation. "Why not?"
"Because they're in the house!"
Stubborn gave him a look that made a spark of fury ignite within him, looking at him as if Paranoid was the problem.
"There is nothing in the house-"
"Yes there is!" Paranoid exclaimed in protest, wrapping his arms around himself. "The eyes keep staring at me in there! I can't go back! I can't take them watching me!"
He needed a moment to try and get his breathing under control, all the while Stubborn was just standing there, giving him a frustrated and conflicted look.
Eventually, when Paranoid was sure that he could talk again, he lowered his gaze to look at his trembling hands, to try and ignore Stubborn's judgemental glare.
The silence would've been comforting, would've helped Paranoid clear his head, but with Stubborn here, that couldn't happen.
Stubborn let a heavy sigh out. "Look, I'm not leaving without you, so you need to listen to me. There are no fucking eyes in the house."
Paranoid whimpered, and he almost missed the wince that Stubborn made at that sound. Paranoid was on the verge of tears at this point. He hated this. He hated his feelings. He hated his mind.
He especially hated the way Stubborn was staring at him-with nothing but pity.
Stubborn continued, his gravelly voice as soft as he could make it, "You're just seeing things-"
But that broke the moment immediately.
"I am not seeing things!" he screamed in Stubborn's face, claws digging into his skin so hard that they were probably cutting him, but he didn't care. "I am not crazy! No matter how much you think I am!"
Stubborn genuinely looked taken aback at his outburst, face frozen in shock, but all Paranoid could focus on was trying not to cry in this moment, mumbling, "I'm not crazy," over and over again to himself.
That went on for so long that Paranoid was starting to believe that he had made Stubborn up as well, until he heard him sigh.
"...Sorry," Stubborn muttered, crouching down in front of Paranoid, and if Paranoid wasn't in the middle of a breakdown, he would've commented on the rare look of guilt on Stubborn's face.
"I'm still not planning on ditching you here. I still need to bring you home."
Paranoid whimpered,squeezing his eyes shut in the hopes of blocking out all the horror that constantly surrounds him. "But the eyes are in there."
"Then I'll protect you."
Paranoid froze, then opened his eyes.
Stubborn was holding his arms out to him, a hopeful glint in his eyes. "I'll make sure that nothing comes near you or hurts you. Everyone will be there to protect you as well in the house."
"Are you sure?" Paranoid asked, his body already leaning forward towards Stubborn's warm and inviting arms.
"Yeah," Stubborn assured with a nod of his head. "What? You think people like Hero and Hunted are gonna let anything bad happen to you?"
That was true. Despite the fear still consuming Paranoid's mind, he knew that that was real. His flock's love was real.
He cautiously looked into Stubborn's eyes- warm, and solid, a determined glint in them that slowly pierced through the fear within him, letting him know for a single moment-Stubborn was safe.
Paranoid took a deep breath, and then reached out towards Stubborn. Stubborn allowed Paranoid to move closer to him, right up until Paranoid's fingers grazed his wrist, and suddenly he let a shuddering gasp out and desperately crawled into Stubborn's arms, who had no problem with immediately scooping Paranoid up, holding him close to his chest.
"I've got you, I'm here," Stubborn whispered, hugging Paranoid protectively, putting a hand over the back of his head, and Paranoid shoved his face into Stubborn's chest, breathing in his comforting scent, feeling his trembling already lessen.
Stubborn stood there for a few minutes, just shushing and rocking Paranoid back and forth, until Paranoid felt all the tension leave his body, safe in Stubborn's arms.
"That's it, you're safe with me," Stubborn whispered, and then began the walk back home, and Paranoid sighed in relief, not feeling any eyes on him at all in that moment, not with Stubborn there to protect him.
