             “IS IT REALLY worth it, though?” the question does not come as a challenge — seam speaks with much of the same patience they used to reserve only for jevil. there is something strikingly familiar in the way spamton talks, and though it is difficult to parse meaning, seam has a way of cutting to the heart of his companions’ nonsensical speech.

complete and utter destruction. of all the horrible, horrible outcomes, sans is pretty sure this might be the most devastating one. sure, things could be worse. papyrus could be dead, after all.

that’s the problem, really.

sans isn’t stupid. he’d have to be, to miss the dust covering the human’s clothes and hands, the silence that followed them through the forest. even as he watches from the treeline as monsters are slain before his very eyes — he does nothing.

* my brother has a very special attack.

* remember... blue stop signs.

* are you following me?

it only really hits him when they reach the town — they’ve killed everyone. sans CHECKs them when they aren’t paying attention. LV 8. he feels sick. no one gets a LV of 8 by accident. in fact, all the monsters in snowdin combined wouldn’t give someone a LV of 8, which means...

the woman behind the door. he’d made her a promise, hadn’t he? 

miraculously, the human leaves papyrus alone. they turn down his offer to hang out, and almost walk straight past sans on their way to waterfall, but he stops them.

* you piece of shit

( is what he wants to say )

* what kind of sick game are you playing, huh?

( but all he feels is relief. )

* hey, i really respect what you did back there. * thanks.

( and he lets them go on their way. )

when the human is gone, sans makes his way back to the door, deep in the forest. he sits in the snow and knocks until one of his knuckle bones shatters, and he feels a tiny fraction of his 1 HP get shaved off. watching his own bone fragments turn to dust is morbidly fascinating.

he gets up and heads toward waterfall.

unsurprisingly, by the time he sees them next, waterfall is much quieter than usual. on a normal day, he’d stop undyne on her patrol and rib her until she caved and bought a hotdog. it’s for a special cause, he’d joke. monetarily supporting papyrus’ cooking endeavors. but she isn’t in a very joking mood. he leaves her alone. 

when the human walks along the bridge to hotland, it’s a purposeful walk, but a slow one. there’s no one in pursuit. for a moment, he considers calling alphys, telling her what’s happened. instead, he simply teleports away before they can see him.

the underground is quiet. he wonders if this is what it was like on the surface, after the war. he doesn’t remember. 

* well, judgement-wise... * you’re a pretty bad person.

there’s magic itching in his fingers, and deep in his SOUL. it’s as if his body is telling him to fight. to avenge their fallen friends. it would be so easy. what’s a promise worth to a dead woman, anyway?

* i’ve been knocking on that door to the RUINS... * but that woman hasn’t been answering me... * maybe she’s not feeling well?

but he lets them pass. they didn’t kill papyrus, he thinks. that means there must be some good left in them, somewhere. maybe they’ll learn.

they don’t. the king is dead. the SOULs are gone. and papyrus is still alive. that’s what matters. that’s the only thing that’s ever mattered.

* so, uh... * by process of elimination... * papyrus became the ruler?

WAS IT WORTH IT? LETTING THEM ALL DIE JUST BECAUSE THEY SPARED THE LIFE OF A SINGLE PERSON?

shut up! get out of my head! i made the right choice. it had to be the right choice. it had to be....

* UM... * SO, BETWEEN YOU AND ME... * I’M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT I’M, UM, * DOING? * I LIKE BEING IN CHARGE! * IT’S LIKE BEING CAPTAIN OF THR ROYAL GUARD, EXCEPT EVERYWHERE. * ...I MISS UNDYNE.
