Chara lay there for 20 hours. She couldn't sleep. She couldn't eat. She couldn't drink. She could only cry. She hated Flowey. She loved Asriel. She hated herself. She cared about her friends. She cried until 2 in the afternoon the next day, Chara went to the door of her cell. She saw five buttons. One was lit up. It said visit. Chara pressed it.
Chara heard a noise from above and saw that the box that had her chains attached to it had gone onto rails on the ceiling. Chara watched the door open. She saw signs pointing to different areas. She walked towards visiting.
Chara found the room. She looked for an open booth. She saw one. She walked over. A royal guard walked over.
"Hello. I am Royal Guard 17. Who are you and who are you looking to meet with?"
"Hello, Royal Guard 17. I am Chara and I am looking to-" Chara started.
"Last name?" Royal Guard 17 interrupted.
"I don't use my last name..." Chara answered.
"What is it?"
"Dreemurr..." Chara answered.
"Why are you in prison? I thought that the King and Queen had no more children."
"They don't. I mean they didn't. Never mind..."
"Who are you looking to meet with?"
"Sans, Papyrus, Alphys, Undyne, Toriel, Asgore, Napstablook, or MK."
"I'll be back in a moment," Royal Guard 17 said as he left the booth and went out the guarded exit door. He came back in two minutes with Sans, Alphys, and Napstablook.
"Oh... Hi, Chara... Sorry you had to come here... to prison..." Napstablook said.
"hey kiddo. i'm also sorry 'bout all this. we'll make it better, i promise," Sans said.
"H- hey Chara. I, t- too, am sorry a- about the imprisonment. I h- hope that it is b- bearable, at the l- least," Alphys said.
"Hi. Thank you for coming. I really don't deserve this," Chara said.
"i agree. you should be free, not imprisoned," Sans said.
"Uh... Sans... I think that she means she deserves worse than imprisonment..." Napstablook said.
"O- oh. Well, uh, I g- guess that is st- still how you f- feel, then. Sorry, Chara," Alphys said.
"chara, isn't there a therapy thing here?" Sans asked.
"Yeah..." Chara answered.
"go there today. you need it," Sans said.
"Yeah... It'll help you..." Napstablook said.
"Y- yeah, Chara. Trust me, it'll h- help you," Alphys said.
"Fine. I'll go today," Chara said.
"tomorrow?" Sans asked.
"No," Chara answered.
"eh. it was worth a shot," Sans said.
They all sat there for a long time. Chara stared at her heart locket and pondered why her soul was inside. Sans looked at Chara. Napstablook listened to his music. Alphys twiddled her thumbs.
"I think I'll head back, now..." Chara said.
"oh. 'kay, kiddo. Ii'll see ya, then," Sans said.
"S- see you in a c- couple days, Chara," Alphys said.
"Alright... I'll come back when I have it done... When I have Spookwave Tidalstorm done... So you can listen to it..." Napstablook said. Chara walked out. She watched her friends get escorted out by Royal Guard 17.
Chara walked back to her cell. She sat for a while.
Chara didn't notice the seed that went into her hair.
