WHAT DO YOU TWO THINK?
The words flashed through Frisk's mind, familiar and unknown to them at the same time.
Where had they heard them?
Come to think of it, they couldn't remember there being a seventeenth entry in Alphys' lab. So where had the words come from?
Oh well. It probably wasn't important. All the same, they'd ask her about it tomorrow...
Darkness.
Surrounding them.
Pressing in on all sides.
Almost... cutting.
Frisk tried to call for help, but the sound was lost in the infinite shadows.
They took a step forward. Their legs felt heavier than usual, preventing them from going very far.
They looked around. Nothing. They were alone.
...
And yet, they couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched.
They turned around and froze with terror at what they saw.
A white, melted face. A black cloak, also melted, spreading out behind the figure. And two floating hands, each with a hole cutting straight through it.
Frisk tried to reach their save file, to reset, to do anything.
But nothing happened.
As the figure approached, Frisk tried to run, but their legs seemed frozen to the ground.
As the strange person loomed over them, Frisk did the one thing they knew they could.
They opened their mouth and let out a piercing scream.
