"-ust get this out of the way. Formalities, you know."
"Yes, I know. Go ahead."
"Please speak loudly and clearly for the microphone and tell us who you are and your position at the CORE geothermal power plant and CORE labs."
"Of course. I am Doctor William Dragan Gaster, Head of CORE science division and original designer and founder of the CORE plant and labs. Employee code WDG50101S."
"Thank you, sir. Now, are you aware of why the CORE administrative council has asked you to be here today?
"I'm certain it's something important. Perhaps I have broken one of my own rules unknowingly."
"It is important, sir, but you are by no means in trouble. This is less of a disciplinary hearing and more of a… a meeting of concerned coworkers and friends. Everyone here owes their jobs to you, and everyone in this meeting has known you as a friend and leader for at least two years each, some of us more than ten years. We're worried for you, sir.
"And why would that be?"
"To be frank, sir, we are aware of some personal issues that arose in this past year for you."
"Yes. My wife passed away."
"Uh… yes. And we're very sorry for your loss. Many of us knew her, even worked with her on occasion in partnership with the military. But… we couldn't help noticing that you never… took a break. You made it customary to allow up to three weeks of paid vacation for employees who lose loved ones, it's one of the many reasons why employees of the CORE are so satisfied with their jobs, not to mention good wages and hours. But the matter at hand… Sir, we're worried for you. You always look so tired, and you're forgetful when you're tired. That could be dangerous to you. You have never put anyone else in danger, but you seem to hold much less regard for yourself. Just last week you walked into the maintenance tunnels without proper safety gear, but you wouldn't let anyone else go in without it. It's… reckless, sir."
"If you're concerned for my safety, then I will make an effort to avoid unnecessary risks in the future. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen."
"Dr. Gaster, wait! We're not done here."
"What, then?"
"We'd like you to take some time off, sir."
"Aria, you know I can't do that."
"I know no such thing, sir. Listen… as an old friend, one who watched you build this amazing place and a beautiful family, I want you to take some time to get things in order. If only for the sake of your boys, take a long vacation, reconnect with them, and let them know that they didn't lose both parents at once. I've seen Sans since Lucy passed, and he's… Well, sir, I don't think he's doing well. Papyrus might be just fine, being so young, but Lucy was Sans' hero. You and Lucy were everything to them. Don't take it all away. Working twelve-hour days every day means you're never at home and awake with time to spare for those sweet boys. And that's just not f-"
"Stop."
"Sir, please, I'm scared for them. For you."
"This meeting is over, Aria. The subject will be dropped and never raised again."
*Footsteps walk away and a door shuts.
"… Stupid man…"
"Aria? Is there anything we can do?"
"Short of barring him from entering the premises, no. But he'll just keep working cooped up in his workshop at home."
*Aria sighs heavily. There is a clicking sound as she lays her glasses on the table beside the microphone.
"He's going to make those poor boys resent him. Just as much as he resents himself."
"Maybe the king can talk some sense into him?"
"Asgore may be able to fix almost anything in this country. But no one can fix a broken soul."
