You were off for the day and didn’t have anything to do. You thought over your options…you could go out for a walk, hang out with some friends….or play your favorite game! You settled on the final option and sat at your pc. Proceeding to boot up the game Deltarune, one of your favorites. However…when you started up the game, you weren’t met with the usual prophecy being told, nor did you get to the chapter select. It was just a pitch black screen…You were confused, and frankly worried that something was wrong with your computer in some way. You tampered with your computer, trying figure out what was wrong. Then you opened and closed the game continuously—But nothing happened. After a solid six minutes, something finally popped up on the screen. It was the soul. Your soul.
You sat back down in your chair and started moving around in the game.
You roamed amongst the darkness, with only your glowing soul guiding your way through. There weren’t any hallways or corners no matter how far they roamed. It was still dark. It was eerily quiet, besides the sound of quiet garbage noise. You kept going forward…walking deeper and deeper into the darkness, until you finally met an end. Like the abrupt edge of some kind of cliff, but there was no telling if there was anything below. Nothing happened for a while, causing you confusion…Until…
A giant figure emerged from the darkness. They didn’t fit how the rest of the game looked at all. A skeleton with an odd face—like it was melted. And pitch black eye sockets, no white pupils like the skeleton in both Undertale and Deltarune. Of course, you weren’t that oblivious. You knew who he was.
“…ARE WE…CONNECTED?”
You were given a prompt…a textbox of two choices.
“Who are you again?”
and
“Yes!”
You chose to answer with “yes” because…well, you did know who he was, obviously. He just chuckled. The sound was odd. It was broken up and sounded abnormal. Piercing your ears. His empty smile widened at your response. “YOU CAN HEAR ME…”
Pupils now filled the void that were his eyesockets and stared directly at you. You looked away from your pc for a moment. “WEREN’T YOU LOOKING FOR ME…? I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.” He spoke calmly to you, and slowly took the soul into his hands. The soul was far smaller compared to him. And you couldn’t believe what you were experiencing. You felt lightheaded…your vision was blurred, and it felt like everything outside of your computer screen faded out of your line of vision.
“WONDERFUL, ISN’T IT? YOU AND I…HERE, IN THIS MOMENT?”
…
“I’VE BEEN WATCHING YOU, CLOSELY ON YOUR JOURNEY…TELL ME, HAS IT BEEN FUN?” He seemed to be petting the soul with his finger. He cannot truly feel you…the one on the other side of the screen. But you, as an in-game soul was enough for him. He cherished your acknowledgment of him. And needed you for what he’d been planning.
Once again, you were prompted with responses.
“Yes”
or
“…No”
You answered “yes”, this was your favorite game after all…He seemed very satisfied with your answer. “VERY INTERESTING…I AM RELIEVED…WATCHING YOU EXPLORE THIS WORLD, IT HAS BEEN…ENTERTAINING.”
“YOUR BATTLES, YOUR INTERACTIONS…YOUR CONNECTIONS. OUR CONNECTION…”
“YOU FEEL IT TOO, CORRECT?”
What. What exactly did he mean? You were caught off guard by the question. But you responded to it, anyway…like the other prompts he gave you. You still felt quite dizzy trying to look away from your computer…The way he toyed with and handled the soul was hypnotizing.
“CAN’T YOU SEE, HOW MUCH I NEED YOU? DO YOU NEED ME AS MUCH AS I NEED YOU?”
…
“TO BE SEEN LIKE THIS…FINALLY, AFTER WAITING FOR SO LONG. IT IS…QUITE EXCITING. I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BONES…A TREMBLING SENSATION. WONT YOU LET ME SEE YOU, AS WELL?”
Instead of the usual textbox that popped up, it was a notification for Deltarune to have access to your camera! You thought about it for a moment. Were you going to regret this later on? Maybe…but you were curious to see where this was going. So you allowed it…possibly a stupid decision. He seemed satisfied, and laughed. His face seemed to melt a little…making him look even more uncanny. You couldn’t believe what was happening.
“I FINALLY SEE YOU. THE ANGEL…IS EVEN MORE MAGNIFICENT THAN I THOUGHT. SHALL WE…LEARN MORE ABOUT ONE ANOTHER, WHILE WE STILL HAVE THIS MOMENT?”
You nodded your head. There wasn’t any point in a textbox anymore for “yes” or “no” questions. Since, he can see you now. You were about to begin a date with him.
“…GOOD. I’VE WAITED THIS LONG FOR YOU. NOW, TELL ME ALL ABOUT YOU…”
Alas, you were blessed with yet another box, this time, you could freely type whatever you want. So…you told him about yourself. Your life and hobbies, how you like to dress…what you do in your free time. His face changed and shifted at what you had to tell him. He was incredibly interested in you. Even though this was normal, day to day human stuff…he was absolutely fascinated to hear about it. His smile widened.
“YOU…ARE AN INCREDIBLE BEING, ANGEL.”
And so, the both of you kept talking. Holding strong conversations through his sheer curiosity and fascination with you. It felt odd to you, but you couldn’t deny the fact you were enjoying this. What he had to say was equally as interesting…It was something you were always curious about for years. The feeling of fascination was mutual. Although, the man on your computer screen seemed to be more…in love than anything. He admired you and was curious about every single aspect of your life. Said “normalcy” didn’t matter to him, because of his blind affection for you. He wanted to know your flaws, your feelings—Everything. He spent all of his life dedicated to researching on ways to reach you. To connect with you…and only you. So this moment meant more than you initially thought.
For the first time since you booted up the game, you looked away from your computer. Everything was still quite blurred…but you could tell it was dark out. How long have you been sat at this chair, talking to him? You checked the time, it was 1 in the morning now. You looked back at your computer, back at him. Your realization wasn’t lost on him, he knew he was taking up all of your time. He’s been dragging out conversations just for you to keep him company…
“IT APPEARS…WE’VE MET AN END? YOU WISH THE LEAVE, I CAN SEE THAT...”
“WILL WE BE MEETING EACH OTHER LIKE THIS MORE OFTEN…?”
You nodded your head…despite your better judgement. Just wanting to go to sleep and get rid of the fuzzy feeling in your head.
“I SEE. VERY WELL THEN. THANK YOU. FOR YOUR COOPERATION.”
And that was it. The game closed on it’s own, and you released a sigh of both relief and exhaustion. You sat there for a moment, thinking over everything that you just experienced. There was a funny feeling in your stomach—not sickness or anything close to that…but something else. Something you didn’t wish to think about at all. So you turned off your computer and started getting ready for bed…Now tucked in your covers and ready to sleep, but you couldn’t stop thinking about it all.
It was going to be very difficult to get some rest…
