Now that I think about it, I'm a little surprised that it has actually already been a year since all of this ever happened. From what I remember, the Underground was always busy in some way: Snowdin with its eternally-cold climate, everyone living in those houses of theirs.

They never thought of putting ME in a house, did they?!

A house doesn't suit a flower like me anyway. I need the fresh air. It helps me keep the short bursts of sanity I manage to have last as long as possible.

Yup, that's myself all right. But then there's that... Non-sane part of me. What I was. What I'm trying so hard not to be right now. What I call 'Myself'. They say that sanity comes from being lonely most of the time. That might be what's happening to me actually, since I'm now the only one down here... Apart from the mouses that come by here from time to time.

But they're living fine, AREN'T THEY?! They've got each other! They've got someone with them! I've only got myself! I HATE them!

Gasp... No matter how hard I try, I can't keep it in check...

...

...Wait, that's the reason you're back here now? To keep me company?
Golly. I... I would say thank you, but I won't. Just in case 'Myself' surfaces again. So you really are still my friend, huh? Does that mean that you would've actually reset the save when I was done talking to you?

...No? Are you serious?

Well, golly. I'm flattered. I haven't had someone care for me ever since Chara and Frisk left me.
...Pardon me? ...You're wondering why I call Frisk 'Chara'? Well, it goes rather complicated...
I wanna go somewhere. Seeing as we have some time to kill, I guess I can tell you.

You'd better do as I say, or else I'll tear you up on this very spot. And don't think about running away either.
