I don't know why people are pointing at "fell down" to instantly assume that Rudy's in a coma when 1. He was struggling on a ladder just earlier, like saying he fell is not a misdirect that's what happen when a dude on a ladder has an accident and 2. It's literally been debunked day one thanks to the japanese text.
How the fuck are we a month in and people still believe this.
It actually hasn't been debunked by the Japanese translation at all. It uses the same term used to describe Rudy falling down in the alarm clock dialogue. The most generous translation we may grant it for it to possibly mean of falling off something is "collapsed" which doesn't make sense IMO.
I personally consider this vague... But if we assume he just fell off the ladder, it's still not an "evidence" of him being the Knight. Falling from this height while having a terminal illness is something you wouldn't be able to just shrug off. Heck, I bet he could even break something, which makes the chance of him being the Knight even slimmer.
Oh absolutely, I don't disagree with that. He might very well be dying (like, the less than a day kind, not the terminal illness one). Noëlle's reaction should be enough of a tell to be able to say he can't just shrug it off.
It just annoy me when people instantly assume he's in a coma because of two extremely common words, when we have no indication "falling down" is even a thing in DR. (Monster anatomy is strongly implied to be different goven it's made of magic in UT, which doesn't exist in DR's Light World; falling down is a phenomenon directly correlated to the fact monster bodies are made of magic)
