Chapter Text
* * *
You tried saving Asriel.
But you can’t.
You wanted to travel back into the Ruins.
But you can’t.
You wanted to restore his SOUL for good.
But you can’t.
Is there nothing you can do?
You must be brave.
You must be determined.
You RESET.
* * *
You were afraid.
You have never been so afraid.
The wrath of a friend cannot be confined in words.
You stood there. Helpless.
Bones had caged you in.
It was for your sake.
It saved you from the people who claim they are your ‘real parents’.
But just one accident was enough to turn your safety net into a death trap.
You were sure you died.
Even if you didn’t die, Mettaton’s entertainment empire was ruined thanks to the live broadcast.
You didn’t want that.
You want everyone to be happy.
You want everyone to stay happy.
You RESET.
* * *
You hear the wailing.
You smell the dust.
You see the one person who had any clue of your true powers crying over a tattered red scarf.
You were still in your safe cage.
But someone else had taken the blow for you.
You never saw Sans again.
You RESET.
* * *
You tried to avoid any scenario that puts you in danger.
Pretend to be sick.
Skip class.
Trick Toriel into thinking that you went to school, then backtrack to hide in the bathroom.
Plea to Asgore. King Fluffybuns gave in. He always does.
But they always find you.
If not today, tomorrow.
If not tomorrow, next week.
Next month.
Next year.
You were forced into court.
You were taken.
You RESET.
* * *
You RESET.
You don’t want Toriel and Asgore to grieve for outliving you.
You RESET.
You don’t want to be taken away by anyone, legal or otherwise.
You RESET.
You don’t want to grow old.
You RESET.
You don’t want to die.
You RESET.
You don’t want anyone else to die.
You RESET.
You don’t want to remember any of these.
You RESET.
You can’t handle the ‘Floweys’ out there.
Even if you don’t die, others get killed.
You RESET.
The Underground was so much safer.
Sans will hate you for it, but this is for his sake too.
You RESET.
You want to relive the best time of your life.
Forever and ever.
You RESET.
