Someday
But he doesn't seem to see me anymore. Focuses on you, in a way that he never really has before.
I am dead. And so was he. Was there something about the memories that sparked this?
Maybe this is his way of moving on…
It hurts.
And it's going to keep hurting.
He's crying. He always was very compassionate. Having all those souls, having love and compassion again, after so long with LOVE or emptiness. It hurts. It's hard.
But you understand. All these monsters down here, and he is still the one that understands best. This is not an understanding you would have wished on him, but he understands, and can not take it back. And he regrets in a way that you never did. Maybe that could be the power of the souls.
But likelier, its Asriel. Asriel, and his compassion that could change have changed the world.
Asriel, the monster who bridged the gap between humans and monsters, just by being himself.
Aariel, who… was always going to do the right thing in the end.
Using monster souls and human together, he fulfils the dream we once shared. He breaks the barrier.
And maybe it didn't happen in the way you imagined.
But nothing really did go according to plan, did it?
He tries to run you off. To go away. To stop caring about him. That he won't feel love, or be himself anymore.
And maybe he might have a harder time finding the best parts of himself, without a soul, but he was never gone.
Even as a flower, it was still Asriel.
Just… one trying to live up to the worst parts of me.
Human.
But maybe, humanity isn't all bad. Like you. Despite your flaws, and the depths of horror you can sink into, you are capable of choosing. Choosing to be a better person, making that choice, again and again. Choosing to give Asriel the hug I can not. I wish I knew more humans like that. I hope we both keep making these kinds of choices. That we will be better then we have been in the past.
That we keep trying to be the kind of person Asriel sees when he looks at us.
