![]() ![]() “Really?! That’s close by! Where in the woods?” There’s a beat of silence before he speaks up again. “I’m in the woods,” you mumble, glancing at the ground. God, it feels so nice to hear someone else’s voice. “Where are you? Toriel says you had places to go, but we’re going to hang out soon, right? Maybe I can visit you! I can introduce myself to your family!” he says, getting more and more excited as he goes on. “Frisk!” he says again, this time not a question. “Hi Papyrus,” you say softly, the smile clear in your voice. “Hello, Human! Frisk?!” he says, and you have to cover your mouth for a moment while you gather your voice. You try not to get your hopes up as you search through your contacts, looking for that person. Someone who had always been excited to hear your voice. …But, there was someone who picked up your calls every time. Your hand freezes in front of the numbers before slowly putting the phone down. Not that it meant she didn’t want to talk to you but-she had told you to leave her alone. She had never answered, all while you were in the underground. You can’t imagine that they’ve built homes overnight. You pull out your phone again, starting to make the rounds again, before stopping for a moment. Then, you begin to realize you can’t romp around in the woods forever. And you’re beginning to forget how alone you are-it’s an adventure, but not one that could actually kill you, this time. You pick up another stick, just like the one you had before. ![]() You stand up and start heading back into the woods. You don’t want to sit here and wait any more. You sit down at one of seats at the stop and pull out your phone. Instead, you walked through the woods, towards the mountain, and fallen right in.Īll-in-all, one of the better decisions you’ve made. Or, rather, where you were supposed to go. Through the woods, there’s a small bus stop, connecting the rural area around the woods to a nearby city. Ebott besides a large forest-tall tales about the mountain keep people away. It takes a while to get back to where you were before. Sans was rubbing off on her, wasn’t he? You manage to pull your expressionless face into a smile, before heading out. “See you around.” she says with a smile, and you soak it up. Besides, your parents-you had been gone a while. No, it was too late to say anything else. You said the wrong thing! You open your mouth, then close it. “…I see,” she says, and if you’re not mistaken, she sounds disappointed. You were too far stuck in your habit-speak only when spoken to. Talking was still hard for you, even when the monsters encouraged it. “I have places to go,” you say, your voice quiet as always. So, you turn to Toriel with a polite smile. ‘You’re the type of person who won’t ever be happy’, right? Now that you’re here, you suppose you have to go home, don’t you? They deserve it.īut, you don’t want to be here. You listen in on the others speak, and soon they all rush off, for some reason or another. “We should really think about what comes next,” Toriel says, interrupting your thoughts. This was what you had wanted, right? To go home? Now that you're back on the surface, you don't know what to do. You, however… you're not particularly glad to see the Sun. His excitement is contagious-you can't help but at least smile a little. You were never a fan of the heat-or the summer. You had gotten used to the cooler temperature of the underground. Even facing Asgore, the light coming through was different-twilight, you think, is a good word for it. It's been a while since you’ve seen the Sun.
