when they were freed, toriel made a vow to herself that she would visit chara’s grave whenever she could, especially on their birthdays. that birthday was today, so she made the trek back to the ruins, back to that yellow patch of golden buttercups. the boss monster knelt down at the field. she admired the flowers, noticing how well they were being cared for.
“looking beautiful as ever, eh?” she’s talking to herself, assuming she’s alone. toriel begins to talk about how life on the surface was. how she was a teacher now, how much she missed asriel and chara. “asgore will be visiting here as well,” she comments. “we talked about visiting here every now and then. it is the least we can do, together.”
she sighs and blinks back tears, paws folded together as she fidgets with her fingers. “i just wish i could have you and asriel by my side on the surface. you, asriel, and frisk–maybe the three of you could have been friends.” maybe even family.
Their breath hitches as they make out the familiar figure kneeling above their grave. Of all the people to visit... of course it was her. Who else would come so far... to the very end of the Underground. There was only one reason to be here, and only two people who knew it.
Chara silently slides down to sit behind the pillar as Toriel speaks, the darkness keeping them well enough hidden that they weren’t too concerned. It... it sounded like they were happy up there. Living new lives, free, without the hopelessness they’d felt trapped down here. But... then she moves on. Starts talking about them, and about-
Asriel. The last time they’d seen their brother, he’d been unleashing every ounce of his godly might in a last bid to destroy that kid- Frisk, it sounds like their name was. Chara had reached out for him then, used what little remained of themself to shield Frisk and connect to Asriel. After that... nothing, until they woke back up alone.
Had their brother not gotten his SOUL back, like they had?
They exhale a breath they hadn’t known they’d been holding, softly audible in the silence of the clearing. They were back, and he wasn’t. That... that wasn’t fair. In what world was that fair!?! All of this was their fault, and yet he gets to pay the price while they walk scot-free? In their sudden stress, their attention is drawn away from the boss monster nearby...
