Dead Where You Stand

I leaned against a pillar in the corridor. My foot tapped impatiently, as I expected the arrival of the kid.
That dirty...
I snapped myself back to reality, knowing that this had happened to me, to us, millions of times before.
I faintly remembered the previous timelines even without the aid of my notes. I couldn't fathom why per say, but I just.. somehow, faintly knew what would happen when I killed Frisk.
Or, more uncommonly, Frisk killed me.
What would happen this time? The question always hung over me, draping me in its uncertainty. Most of the time, the kid messed around. Killed some, spared others. I dubbed it a neutral run.
A little less likely instance, is my personal favorite run, the ''pacifist'' run. Everyone would be spared. We would all get to the surface, and live pretty happy lives. I was for the both of these runs, as long as Pap was safe.
But.
This time?
I felt my eye begin to glow, just as the kid walked into the hallway.
They stepped towards me with confidence. Of course, I knew what they expected. A little chat with me, and then some good ol' KARMA raining down on them. They would be prepared for my first attack, though. Most of the time they were.
They stopped in front of me, clutching a knife tightly, smiling sadistically.
''hey.'' I said.
''you've been busy, huh?'' They smiled wider, and I felt myself lose control a little more. My hatred for this RESET loop, my hatred for this child straight from hell, my hatred for fighting over and over and over. It all boiled up. It was too much.
I stood up a little straighter.
''so, i've got a question for...'' I trailed off, seeing them tense their body and clutch the knife tighter.
''welp.. um..'' They looked a little surprised, and I felt an opportunity.
''you know what?'' They stared at me, trying to figure out why my speech suddenly shifted.
''screw it. burn in hell.'' I pulled my arm up, lifted huge bones from the floor. The kid was impaled instantly, eyes wide in shock. I summoned three Gaster Blasters, which shot at Frisk in unison.
After the light succumbed, I could see their shattered heart laying on their body.
It was satisfying indeed, although, they were gonna RESET very soon anyways.
I leaned against a pillar again as a huge white flash came, RESSETING this turn of events.
Next time, they would be prepared.
