When I made it to Snowdin's forest I was absolutely terrified. No one in the ruins seemed to remember the murderous rampage that plagued my memory, but that was nothing new. No one knew about the resets and no one remembered the past timelines. Except for Sans. He made it quite clear when fighting that he knew what I was up to. I was afraid he'd see me and kill me on the spot, but he didn't. He was wary of me, and was absolutely terrifying when he warned me against fighting his brother, but he didn't attack me. Maybe he had only a slight inkling of what had happened.

Papyrus on the other hand, he was overjoyed to see me and absolutely adored it when I took part in the puzzle's Chara had skipped over before. I found it a little odd that in the timeline where I was nice to Papyrus was the one where I had to fight him rather than the one where I slaughtered everyone he knew, but after being put in his shed it was clear he wasn't trying to kill me and later wanted to be the best of friends, which make the memories of him fading to dust all the more painful.

I really didn't want to see Undyne again after escaping to Hotland, but Papyrus was just so excited and it was just to hard to turn him down. So I braved the journey back to waterfall and went into Undyne's home, the only thing preventing me from losing it was the fact that Papyrus was there to stand by me. Then he immediately left. I froze up so tense that I fell over. Undyne muttered something in aggravation about having lost to some kid so pathetic they couldn't stay on their feet. Things managed to proceed when Papyrus poked his head in and declared Undyne not up to the challenge. In response she hauled me to my feet and launched me at the seat by her table. In the end we managed to burn down her house. Some how it still seemed like the best possible way that could have ended.

Having Befriended Undyne she recruited me to help her get together with Alphys. I honestly didn't know what to make of Alphys when I first met her. I had only heard of her by name before since she had evacuated everyone before I arrived at the lab. I wasn't expecting a nerdy anime fangirl to be the royal scientist. At least she wasn't intimidating, Mettaton on the other had... I found it odd he also was more threatening when I had done nothing to provoke him, until he said it had been part or a game Alphys set up to get me to like her. l should probably be annoyed by that, but I felt too bad for her to complain.

After all that, it looked like I was going to be able to leave the underground with everyone somewhat happy. All I had to do was face Asgore but that was interrupted by Toriel, then Undyne, Alphys, Papyrus, Sans and Mettaton. Everything looked like it was going to be alright. Asriel had other plans, but eventually I made it through, watching the sunset, or was it sunrise? It was twilight when I went into the throne room, so it would have been getting brighter...?

But I thought it was over. Everyone was happy and free, and I made it back to the human world.

Now we can kill them all.

Chara's voice rang in my head.

We can show humanity what it really deserves.

I was startled. Why had Chara appeared? I never hurt anyone, I comforted Asriel after he hurt everyone. I showed nothing but love, not LOVE.

That doesn't matter. You sold your soul to me remember? I'm never leaving.

I was struck with the realization I was now sharing my body with a homicidal maniac, whom I just brought to the surface and all my friends were unaware of the danger I now presented. It was right before Toriel asked me if I had anywhere to go.

She won't see it coming.

"I HAVE TO GO." I practically screamed, and before she could finish saying that she would be seeing me around I bolted off, trying to get as far away as possible before Chara tried to take control.
