A/N: Not my game.


Hey Gaster, How You Doing?

It wasn't until after the Abomination showed up that the structure of the timelines began to change significantly. Shattering, splitting, looping, vanishing, restarting. It was a mess, and quite inconvenient to me. I still saw everything in them, all of them, but in the shifting splinters, I began to get... caught.

Little shards of timeline would 'catch' on pieces of me, trapping them in that place and time, like shreds of clothing caught on briars. Often, these pieces would rip free, and could not be retrieved easily. They were near-helpless on their own, only middling bits of soul, a random slice of personality and thought, bereft of context.

I was powerless to stop it. Ever so slowly, the shattering timelines were devouring my awareness.

Naturally, that wasn't the end of it. One particular piece was recovered by one of my fellow prisoners, but unfortunately he seemed somewhat obsessed by it, and would not return it. Irritating, but there was nothing I could do.

But sometimes, the Abomination would find them. I do not know how, but it could see me. Perhaps something to do with the nature of that creature's soul, or whatever it has in place of one. And when it saw a part of me, in an instant the quantum uncertainty of the fragment's position in place and time would collapse, ripping it free of its bounds and returning it to the Void.

Returning it to me.

Unfortunately, I was unable to communicate with the Abomination, so any such meetings could only happen by chance. Still, in a nigh-infinite multiverse, the rate of fragment return was such that I did not dissolve completely.

When the human arrived, and awoke the demon, they could see the pieces too. They were responsible for the return of a rather large fragment that got trapped in an out-of-the-way cave. It was a large enough fragment that I was somewhat aware of it, and I was almost able to talk to them.

What? Sans? No, he was never able to see me. He remembered, but he could not see.

Perhaps that is for the best.
