I search around the Ruins, running around looking into every room and crack I can find, thinking "Maybe he went here."

I've searched trough the whole Underground on a desperate attempt to find him, and just as I was about to give up... I remembered the golden flowers... Those flowers that broke my fall, saving me from the great damage I would have otherwise took from falling down...

I walk through the two gates, take a look to my right and there I see him, sobbing and holding a stack of the flowers. His white fur shined in the sunlight as he keeps on repeating a single name... "Chara..." He says quietly as more tears come out of him every time he does so.

"H- hi..." I say walking towards him hoping he would notice me.

He keeps on sobbing, trying to ignore me.

I get closer. "Asriel...?" I say trying to sound as happy as I can doing so.

"H- howdy..." Asriel finally lets out those words.

I walk up to him and sit down about a feet away from him.

We sit there for a while as he starts sobbing again.

"Asriel... Why are you crying?" I look concerned.

"I- it's" he sniffs "It's nothing" he tries to keep his tears in.

"You sure?" I crawl a little closer to him taking his hand.

Asriel starts to blush a little "Y- yeah.. I'm sure!"

"So who is Chara?" I smile.

"Sh- she was just a person I used to know a while back... No one.. Im-" he couldn't continue as he started crying uncontrollably.

I get close to him trying to comfort him as well as I could. "You sure..."

"N- no... S- she was my only friend... I just don't want to talk about her." he says as I try to wipe his tears away.

"Because I realized she isn't coming back... I don't think it's worth it to try and remember her anymore..." He continues.

"I wish I knew how you felt, Asriel" I look down and then back at Asriel.

"F- Frisk... Why are you here? Don't you have anything better to do?"

"To spend time with you of course!" I smile.

"Frisk... I hurt you so much! Why would you ev-" i interrupt him by giving him a tight hug.

"It wasn't your fault..." I drop a few tears on his sweater, but he proceeds to push me away.

"No.. Frisk... Please don't..."

I back off a little. "Why are you so down?"

He looks at me but then back at the flowers he was holding a little while ago.

"Coming back alive just caused me pain and sadness than it did happiness..." He stops trying not to cry again. "I thought I'd never say this, but... I kinda wish I couldn't feel anything anymore..."

I look at him "D- don't say that please!"

"B- but... Then you forgave me for some reason... Why?... Why would you ever want to forgive me?"

"Like I said, Asriel! It wasn't your fault! I heard what they did to you... And you deserved none of it!"

Asriel looks at me still trying to hold back tears.

I open my arms for a hug. He rolls his eyes but then smiles and hugs me very tightly.

We stay there for a while, not saying a single word.

A minute or two pass.

"F-Frisk... Why are you still here?"

He lets go, me still trying to hold on

"Just go be with the people that love you!"

"Asriel... W... Why can't you come with us?"

"I have no soul, Frisk... Without one I will turn back into a flower... I'll stop feeling emotions... I will become Flowey again..."

My eyes widen... My heart stops... I tell myself "I know what I need to do!" I get up and start running toward the exit.

"Where are you going?" Asriel yells.

"I'll be right back!" I smile at him before I go through the gate...

I know what I need to do...
