Saying Goodbye

by Curved Silence of Ishtar

Dealing with life is hard enough, but when you being illness into the mix, you never know what to expect. This is going to be a dark one, so please don't read it if you want warm fuzziness. There is not going to be a lot of that here. I have not written in a very long time, so please bear with me as I remember how to do this... Rating for cursing and dark subject matter.

Saying Goodbye

Alphys,

Sweet, kind, smart, beautiful Alphys.

Clever Alphys, I don't need to sugar coat anything for you. My dying is going to hurt so many people that we all love. I remember what you said about... our plan. I know that my soul won't help him where he is now, but I don't want him to be alone.

I enclosed another letter in with yours, for you to drop down to him. Please, make sure he gets it. Even if I can't save him, I want him to know that I still forgive him. I ask you to get some of my ashes and send them down there. That way, maybe he won't be so lonely.

I know you are never sure of yourself, especially with the things that happened in the past with your old research. I want you to remember that it was not your fault. You had no idea what would happen, and even though it took some time, you righted past mistakes when you sent your charges back to live with their families again.

Remember Alphys, that we only get one chance. Make the most of the time that you have and try to not live in the past, okay? Learn from it, feel it, acknowledge that it all happened, then let it go and look ahead.

Today there is rain, tomorrow a rainbow.

Keep going forward, and take care of Undyne and yourself. I love you both.

Always your friend, no matter what
