Toriel looked up at her new house in the Ruins and sighed. She knew that Asgore just needed some time to be alone, time to recover. All that they needed was time.

Recover. Asgore would recover, and then he would return to his old self. Then she would bake him a butterscotch pie like she used to and they would sit down and enjoy it together and Asriel would be…No. Asriel and Chara would not be there. Toriel felt a tear trickle down her furry cheek. Asriel and Chara were gone forever. Her children, her sweet little son and her adopted daughter were never coming back. Who was she kidding? Toriel was moving to the Ruins to recover herself just as much as she was doing it to give her husband time to recover.

She forced herself to stop remembering. There was no use in crying over what could not be changed. That was why she had come to the Ruins: to recover and to start anew. She had to focus on this new house. Yes, that would get her mind off the past.

She walked through the building. It was in good shape, considering the fact that it hadn't been in use for several years. It just needed a little fixing up, and then it would be a proper home. Yes, just a little fixing up would do the trick…
