Chara opened her eyes to find herself in somewhere dark. She had no actual clue where she was. She sat up, looked around. Everything was dark. She stood up and walked around when she suddenly heard someone calling her.

-Princess Chara!-

She heard a familiar voice. Chara turned to face.

-Dr. Gaster?-

She asked, her jaw dropping. Gaster was sitting on the ground, if there actually was a ground in there, eye level with Chara. Chara stared at him until he spoke:

-I also fell down. That's where the partly dead go. The void.-

He explained the shortest he could. Chara also sat down, preparing a waterfall of questions and began:

-What's the void? How did you fall down? How much time has passed since I died? What does partly dead mean? Where's Azzy? How long I was unconscious? Why was I even unconsciousness? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THIS WORLD?-

She vented in one breath. Gaster started the detailed explanation:

-The void is where partly dead go. We are dead, but we still can be in the world of the living. Some pieces of us are still there. You died over a month ago. You weren't unconsciousness, just your soul was "picking up" if it's dead or not. Eventually, some parts stayed in the world of the living, and the biggest part is here. I fell down a week ago while trying to experiment with fake DETERMINATION I and Alphys created after your death, but instead of making my soul determined, I partly killed myself. I injected too much DETERMINATION and my magic disappeared, making my molecular structure too unstable to exist, but my soul shattered only partly, and the biggest part, as well, is here. And the prince… Alphys had injected some of our fake DETERMINATION into a flower that his dust was spread on, and he woke up as a flower… Only without a soul. He's alive, but he doesn't have it because he has no magic, only DETERMINATION to live.-

He explained slowly and comprehensible. Chara blinked few times.

-And… Where are the parts of our souls?-

She asked.

-The second biggest part of my soul was sent to… To another monster, Sans… Smaller parts of it were sent to my fellow scientists… Three of them had also participated in my experiment, but since they didn't come to my condition, they'll still be able to interact with people determined enough in the world of the living. Those who received the parts of my soul… Will be the only one to remember me. The other ones will have all the memory of me replaced or erased.-

-And why is that? Will I be forgotten as well?-

-No, you won't. You are… Differently dead from me. Your DETERMINATION keeps you partly alive, like those three followers of mine, you can be seen and interacted with someone with their soul as determined as yours. I, however… I'm shattered in time and space. I will never be able to interact with the living or the fully dead again. I'm... Not exactly dead. I don't exist, and I've never existed. Sans and the three scientists are the only ones who will remember me… However I won't be able to interact with them.-

-I still don't completely understand… Why am I here and won't be forgotten?-

-Because your body is dead, and it exists-it's buried in the same spot where you fell from the surface, but your soul shattered only partly. My body doesn't exist in any world. Nobody can remember something that doesn't exist.-

Chara answered with the face of 'Oooooh now I get it!', but said nothing. She just thought how sad it must be-When you are still alive somewhere, or even partly alive, knowing that barely five, counting her, six people know of your existence… Or rather non-existence.

Some awkward moments passed silently until Gaster spoke again:

-I have also discovered something quite interesting. SAVE and RESET.-

He began, entirely drawing Chara's attention.

-And what are those?-

She asked, taking a more comfortable sitting position if she actually was sitting and not floating. She had no idea if there was a floor there. Gaster made his face of 'make yourself comfortable because it'll be very long and super confusing' and then began:

-SAVE is the ability to "load". If the person has enough DETERMINATION, maybe your level, they will be able to SAVE, so if they die, or if they want to change something in their actions after SAVING, they will be able to go back to their last SAVE and do so. And that's what I called RESET.-

Unlike his countenance told, it actually was short and comprehensible. Chara blinked stupidly.

-So, is our universe becoming a weird video game?-

-Something alike. Me, you, Sans, the four scientists and the former prince will remember the RESETS.-

-What does Azzy have to do with it?-

-His memories, saved in his dust, are now in a flower. Alphys injected into the flower enough DETERMINATION to bring him to life. And since he's made of DETERMINATION, he'll be able to use that two options.-

Chara took few moments to think of another question:

-And why won't the RESET affect you and those scientists of yours?-

-I don't exist. And the parts of my soul that they received are connected to me. So partly, they also don't exist. RESET can't affect something that doesn't exist.-

Gaster explained calmly. Chara stood up and started walking around and thinking. From one side, it was all crystal clear, from another side, how can someone exist while not existing? She wanted to ask, but knowing that this time, she'll hear the mostly incomprehensible explanation, if Gaster even had one, she gave up.

-So, what shall we do while stuck here?-

She asked eventually with a smirk. Gaster shrugged.

-We may go and watch over the world of the living. I think that prince Asriel, now with the ability to SAVE and RESET, will use it. Won't you like to watch how it will turn out?-

He offered. Chara sighed. She hoped that her sweet brother won't use the ability to change the entire world for something bad, so she decided to go and watch over him. Maybe he has enough determination to see her, after all, and they'll be together again.

-I'm going to watch him.-

She said but then realized that she had no idea how to get out of the void. Gaster gave a laughter.

-Let me help you a bit.-

He said and stretched his bony hand. Chara took it, and… Found herself at the spot where Asriel first found her. Beneath her ghostly feet were growing flowers… She gasped: those were the golden flowers from her village! Probably her body had some pollen of those flowers on it, and they started growing there if it was right that she actually was buried under them. Among the flowers, was one different-it was moving. Chara could swear that she could hear it… Crying?

-Azzy…?-

She whispered. No response.

-Yes, princess, that's your brother. But apparently, he hasn't determined enough to interact with you. Or maybe he can't because he has no soul.-

Gaster's voice brought Chara back to reality.

-Mhm…-

-Well, I assume you'd like to begin your journey. I… Have someone else I need to visit.-

And Gaster left, leaving Chara's spirit alone with what Asriel has become. She could only watch how he mourned her on her grave.

-Oh Azzy… I'm so sorry I can't tell you I'm here with you…-
