There's an onion-shaped monster nearby, and it is dancing in place.*
"What's a star? Can you touch it? Can you eat it? Can you kill it? …Are you a star?"
*You quickly shake your head and walk away, unnerved. You continue walking and find another echo flower.*
"So? Don't you have any wishes?"
*…That's Asriel. He was the sweetest monster in the underground.* Frisk noted his sadness and continued on. *You find another echo flower.*
"Just one, but it's really dumb. Yours are always better."
*It's true. His wishes were always the best. Someone is calling you.*
"Hello? This is Papyrus! Remember when I asked you what you were wearing? Well, it was for a friend who's view of you is very…murdery. Unfortunately, I am a terrible liar, so I was forced to tell her the truth. However, I'm sure you took my winking as a suggestion to change! That way you're safe for a while longer. I suggest leaving Waterfall as quickly as possible, though. Undyne is extremely clever, even if she can't see well. Oh, her left eye is missing! I forgot to mention that. Anyways, good luck, human!"
*You think about changing, but realize even if you did she would recognize you now, and continue moving, still in your Warm Jacket. You find another flower.*
"Don't say that! Your dreams are just as good! I promise!"
*You continue onto a completely empty, water-filled room. A small pile of…dust is in the pathway. Someone killed a monster here, and it was all alone when it died. That's awful…Who would kill a monster?! You shrug and walk around the pile, into the next room. Finding a room with only a piano, you sit to play it. I know a good song. It was Asriel's favorite. Too bad I can't show you. You nod, and play Mary Had a Little Lamb, then leave. You pass a statue, and pause, frowning. Walking forward, you look for an umbrella. Finding at least 17, you take one and walk back to the statue. What are you doing? You place it above the statue, and a song plays through the caves…That was his favorite. It always made him happy. Thank you. You smile, and go back to the umbrellas, taking another to cover yourself. As you continue on, it begins raining. After about 3 minutes of walking, you find the kid standing in the rain. He grins.*
"Yo, you got an umbrella? Awesome! You mind if I join you?"
*You shrug, and he steps underneath with you.*
"Let's go see Undyne!"
*You nod, wanting to meet her for real as well, but for a different reason.*
"Man, she is so cool! If I was a bad guy, I'd be scared to leave my house knowing she was around! I mean, she never loses! It's like she's got her own source of power, like the core! So, this one time at school, King Dreemurr-we had to call him Mr. Dreemurr-had us take care of our own flowers to learn responsibility and junk. So, that got me thinking, what if Undyne came to school and teach us to fight?! At first, I thought she could beat up the teachers, but she'd never hurt someone innocent. She's too cool to!"
*That gives you some hope back. You arrive at a steep cliff. The kid looks at it.*
"Yo, you want to meet Undyne, too, right? You can climb up on my shoulders when you put that umbrella away! I have a secret way to get up, anyways!"
*You comply, and sign your thanks once you reach the top.*
"No problem! See ya!"
*You continue onwards, seeing another star. Hearing the distant song of a music box fills you with DETERMINATION. You continue onwards, and find yourself on a bridge. Hey, there's a second layer! I'm glad they finished it up. You see the floor start to glow blue, and a spear jut through. UNDYNE'S BACK! RUN! You comply, weaving through the magical spears and the maze-like bridge. You reach a dead end, and spears stop appearing. You turn to see the armored guard facing you. Without a word, she swipes the bridge, sending you falling to your doom again. See you when you wake up!*
"It sounds like it came from over here! oh! You've fallen down, haven't you? Are you alright? Here, let me help. Your name is Alex, huh? That's cool! My name is-"
*Hey, wake up! You've been unconscious for an hour! You slowly sit up, and look at me strangely. What? You ask if I met Asriel first before anyone else. Yeah. Why? You say you just had a dream about it. Weird. Let's keeping going, though. You walk through the garbage like you did so every day on the surface. You glare at me for the comment. I make no apologies. You see a dummy, and you pat it's head, smiling at the memories of the other dummy. You continue to walk, when the dummy starts moving.*
"YOU! MY COUSIN LIVES IN THE RUINS! WHEN YOU WERE TRAINING WITH IT, IT THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO BE A NICE PERSON, BUT INSTEAD, YOU FLIRTED WITH THEM! HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE! IT SCARED MY COUSIN OUT OF HIS BODY! I'LL SCARE YOUR SOUL OUT OF YOURS!"
*Mad dummy is about to start a fight when a crying ghost interrupts.*
"Um, Uncle Mad? This is the human that was really nice to everyone in the ruins…"
"What? What?! WHAT?! Okay. human! Forget I did anything!"
*Mad Dummy flies away.*
"Oh. I interrupted one of the games you play with your friends, didn't I? I'm sorry…I was just coming down here to lie down and feel like garbage…I'm going to go home…do you want to join me? I understand if you don't…"
*You nod eagerly, and follow the ghost to his home. He seems pleasantly surprised you are, and stops inside a droopy, blue house. Instead of opening the door, he just floats through it. Realizing you are still following him, he opens the door slowly. He seems even more surprised.*
"Oh…you really want to hang out? Cool…nobody else ever has…come inside."
*You do, and he gives you a small smile. The home is rather neat, with a DJ stand in the corner, a refrigerator right in front of you, a small TV on the floor between the two, and a small spider web in the last corner. It's a pretty nice house. He seems to want to know what you think. You tell the ghost his house is very cool. He seems very happy.*
"Thanks. Would you like to listen to some of my mixtapes? If you want…"
*You give the ghost 2 thumbs up. He puts one of them in, and you gasp in amazement. It's a really good mix, and his smile widens. A thump sounds outside, and he frowns. Opening the door, you see a small monster that looks kind of like a clam. He smiles at the new monster, and says,
"Shyren, this is…oh, I'm sorry. I never introduced myself….my name is Napstablook. What's your name?"
*You say your name is Frisk.*
"Nice to meet you. Would you like to watch our practice?"
*You sadly shake your head, explaining you have to get to the Core, even though you aren't sure what that is.*
"Oh…well, thanks for listening to my music…sorry for taking up your time."
*You quickly say that's not the case at all, and you enjoyed his company. He smiles at you thankfully, and you wave goodbye, heading out of the home. Continuing on your way, you notice the house next to him is pink, droopy as well, and seems to be have been abandoned. Walking on, you press a golden star. You feel a tranquility here, filling you with DETERMINATION.*
