Prologue
Frisk had freed them all. Or, almost all. Maybe it was the haunted look in sans' eyes when he thought no one was looking. Maybe it was the whispers she caught from the strange grey creatures that disappeared upon a second glance. Maybe it was even the strange machine behind the skelebros' house. But there were three that she hadn't saved, and that wasn't good enough. She just needed power.
She already had the power to reset, but that couldn't help her. She needed to control the entirety of spacetime to retrieve him. For monsters, the path to that kind of power lay in consuming souls. For her, however…
She shivered. They were all so happy. She knew of only one way to take a monster's soul. How could she take this brave new world from them and plunge them each into such a hell?
It would be okay. They couldn't remember. With him, they could reset together, and no one would ever know. With him, she could save her two best friends.
