Mail's in. I shuffle through it.

This one's from Asriel.

I barely knew Asriel. My formative experience with the guy was us trying to kill each other.

Wait, this isn't for me.

"Alphys! You've got a letter from Asriel!"

No answer. Whatever.

I conjure a spear and slash open the letter.

I smirk. Okay.

Alphys needs to see this. I find her on the bed, typing furiously on her laptop.

"Alphys."

"Just a minute. I'm…"

"You're going to want to see this." I say.

"What is it?" She asks.

I hand her the letter.

"Looks like you made a few people really happy." I say.

She sighs.

"I wish."

She unfolds it and starts to read.

Then she smiles.

"Undyne…"

"I was right, wasn't I?" I ask.

She blushes.

"Yeah…" She says. "You're right. I've just been feeling a little down lately."

"Because of what happened to Flowey?"

"Yeah."

"Well, the next time you start feeling bad about the past, I'm going to rub this letter in your face!"

Dear Alphys,

Howdy! This is Asriel. I haven't gotten to see you in a while, so I thought I should write you a letter.

I heard from Frisk that you felt guilty for turning me into Flowey by accident. I've read about what happened. I think you should be proud of what you did.

Without your experiments, Flowey would never have existed. That caused me a lot of pain, but I also did a lot of research as Flowey, and I hear you and the humans are using the soul-producing machine I invented to do everything from running engines to inventing spells to curing mental illnesses and healing people. I think it's really incredible what you've done.

Also, if it weren't for you, I'd be dead. You saved me, Alphys. Thank you.

It's amazing how much has changed. The last thing I remembered was coming back from the surface and dying in Dad's hands, with Chara's body in mine. Then I wake up, and I'm on the surface again, and I find out that everyone escaped from the Underground two years ago. The war between the humans and the monsters is suddenly over. Everyone is finally free.

And Chara is back! I couldn't believe it. I thought they were gone. I was so afraid… I didn't know what life would be like without them. I've never been so happy to see them.

And Chara doesn't have a demon inside them anymore. I didn't know anything about the demon until I saw that message after I woke up, but I guess that explains a few things.

Chara seems a little different now. They don't have as much energy as they used to, but they've gotten really, really sweet. They hug me all the time, just like Mom and Dad. It makes me happy.

Frisk is living with me and Chara now. They're kind of weird, but I like them. They keep flirting with Chara, which makes me mad, but they flirt with me, too, and it's kind of flattering. I'm finally getting my horns, and Frisk really likes them, which is nice.

They flirt with Mom and Dad, too, and almost everybody else. Chara thinks it's funny. I'm not sure what to think, but at least it means Frisk is friends with a lot of people.

We don't get to see Dad very often, since he has to spend so much time with the humans, but it's always lots of fun when he does come. Mom was upset with him for a long time, but I heard them talking and I think she forgives him for what happened. Frisk thought I should mention that, since you wanted them to get back together. I do, too.

We paid a visit to the Underground a few days ago and it was incredible. It's so much more vibrant than it used to be. There are flowers everywhere, and every building has beautiful artwork on it. There are some amazing snow sculptures, too. I must have been pretty busy down there.

It was kind of embarrassing, because Chara and Frisk were with me, and there were so many pictures of Chara all over the place. But Frisk said they were pretty and Chara thought it was sweet.

I love both of them. Chara is wild and fun and can still run circles around me. Frisk is a little odd but they're warm and kind and loving. I'm glad they're my friends.

They're actually here right now. Frisk is petting my ears and Chara is doing handstands. I'll ask them to write something.

I'm writing first because my hands are muddy. Now Asriel's pencil is dirty and Frisk has to touch it. –Chara

My hands are even dirtier. I've been touching Asriel's ears. –Frisk

Asriel's ears are only dirty because Frisk has been touching them. Frisk touches lots of things they shouldn't. –Chara

Speaking of touching things we shouldn't, how is Undyne? –Frisk

Speaking of Undyne, I heard Frisk set her house on fire. –Chara

It wasn't just her house. ;) –Frisk

Thank you for giving me back my life. It's even better than it was before. The sun is out, the sky is bright, the land is green, and I've got my two best friends right here. Just like tomorrow, and the day after that.

I'm happy I have them. They mean so much to me.

We love you, too, Asriel. –Chara

Also, your pencil is getting really dirty. –Frisk

Thank you so much. None of this would have been possible without you.

I love these people. And I love the life you gave me.

Your best mistake,

Asriel
