- Actually surprised that more people didn’t ask this one! Basically, there’s an aspect to the Dark World that there was no space to bring up in-story: Lightners don’t age while they’re in the Dark World. The drawback is that because food doesn’t work for Lightners there, they can’t stay there indefinitely, and will starve if they try to just live in the Dark World. However, Gaster worked out through trial and error being able to enter and leave often enough that he spent a LOT of time in the Dark World and extended his lifespan by a considerable amount as a result. This also means that Kris and Susie (unknowingly) added maybe a day or two to their lifespans, too.

[ Yellow has opened the box! Though, the prospect of a treat is questionably answered… ][ Inside the box, Yellow finds a pair of Stunner Shades. Large and pointed at the corners, they look… loud. Impractical. Some might call it “sick”, perhaps others would get sick just from wearing it. There it sits, inside the box. ][ The opportunity presents itself. Will Yellow examine the item, or perhaps, let it be? ]

That’s OK. It will be here tomorrow!
