✫ 002 [text] thank you, i'll say goodbye soon

[And as with all events, everything ends. Alphys wakes back up in the house underground, and everything from the last 10 days is revealed to be a fake. She sighs as she pulls herself out of bed, ready to get back to some sense of normalcy.

It takes her a few hours to figure out anything’s wrong, because it’s not abnormal for Sans to sleep too long, or not come out of his room-- well, Papryus’, but it’s for the both of them now-- until late or necessary. She makes something to eat, settles in to read and relax, and thinks nothing of it until she tries to text him later and nothing comes up.

Alphys scans the contact list once, twice, and climbs off the shared couch, soul feeling tight in her chest as she approaches his room. She knocks, waiting a minute for his answer, because he must just be asleep, before knocking again, putting too much of her weight on the handle when the door finally swings to nothingness.

She spends the next hour tearing through the apartment, piece by piece, unwilling to believe this is happening, knowing what she knows about where he’s going... or, well, a lack thereof. It feels wrong for her to be in here, pawing through everything in a desperate hope, but she knows what this means. That one day someone can be here and the next simply be gone.

The house is doubly quiet, she finds in horror, the more she searches, the more she looks. Four gone. Four of her closest friends. Four that just never came back from that lovely town of nowhere.]


[She can’t bear to put herself on video for this, not when she’s crying, not when she can barely speak. So she types instead, hands shaking heavily, having found a batch of letters and items she feels important to be delivered.]

[SIGH.

[While yes, Rey had her issues with Sans, to call it "hate" would be a bit of a dramatic overstatement. It sure as hell isn't enough to make her inclined to goad Alphys over this. Not when she is so clearly more broken up than Rey had been.

[Fucking assholes.]


need anything?

[Frisk is gone. Sans is gone.

The world will move on regardless. But Chara has not. Not since the moment when they woke up with and empty room beside theirs and an even bigger hole in their heart.

Chara remembers the last time they approached Alphys when they were upset and how badly it had gone. But this was over text.]


I see.

Is there anything you need?

[Sigh. The city takes another one of the good ones. Sans might not have believed it himself, but he was good.]

I'm sorry, Doc. If you need help with anything, you've got my number.

[No.

Or it's what he wants to say. He doesn't get to be selfish right now. He knows nothing about his condition at home but from how he mentioned other worlds or other possibilities he gets the feeling it may not be quite as joyous as his own.
]

Miss Alphys. I will miss him and remember him. [He knows there isn't a note for him. He was Sans' friend but he's sure it was not the other way around. He's not jealous or offended. He just didn't get to say thank you.]

[Fuck, she sounds really upset, even though it's just words on a screen. Magnus may have missed whatever was going on for the past couple weeks, but after he takes the time to relax for a bit and finally check the network again, he's instantly back on his feet and on his way out the door.]

hey dr. alphys, what's your address? or are you at the lab?

I'm coming over.

[ Which is

all the warning Alphys gets before Rose is there. KNOCK, KNOCK YO. Impulsive, maybe, but Rose has been where Alphys is now so many times over that she knows what helps her. It's definitely to not be alone, not close oneself off, not what she's been hypocritically doing for months now. They'd said they would help each other and Rose had meant it. So she's here now, to help however she can.

[Lup may not know any of the people who've left Hadriel, but it's easy enough to pick up on Alphys' distress, even through text.]

hey doc, you busy? i could use a hand

Living alone and being alone are two different things, Doc.

[And neither feels very good, but one is definitely worse than the other for some folks. He is surprised about that last bit, though.]

You want me to swing by and get it now? I can handle delivering the others, if you want. Save you the trouble.

[He did just spend a week thinking he was a mailman, and there's not much else he can do to help Alphys in this situation. There's not much any of them can do when the Door takes people away. And that doesn't feel very good, either.]

What uuuupppp, [ she announces. Ah, yes, the mating call of the Rosie.

Thankfully, she isn't the one in need of comfort. She'll grieve on her own time. Or, y'know, not at all. That's kind of always been her M.O. since she can remember. Besides, why grieve when you can just bottle that shit up and keep on going forward instead?
]

I'm gonna, like, stay the night. If that's cool? I probably should've asked if that was cool first. Just... figured the last thing you needed right now was being alone.

[ She doesn't draw attention to the PJs or the splotchy face or smudged glasses. In due time, she will, but right now she just wants to... be here. ]

[Rosen has been huddled away in Lance's spare bedroom ever since the gods' illusion had died away, though when he sees this he is standing in the kitchen, having emerged in search of something to appease his growling stomach.

However the message is enough to make him forget anything other than a feeling of burning tightness in his throat and prickling at the back of his eyes.

No.

Not Sans. Not one of the only people in this place he ever really felt like he could talk to. Sure, their relationship had never been simple or easy, or even comprehensible, but it was at all times something Rosen had inadvertently come to depend on.

When he responds he can only manage to do so through text]

I'm so sorry. I really wish this weren't true.

[Then after a moment he dares to ask]

Did he leave anything for me? Rosen? [He feels awkward and presumptuous for asking, but just maybe there was a chance...]

I liked his silly puns, and the artificial stars he set up with you. I will remember him as someone who tried to bring light to the darkness.

[Oh no, not the talking skeleton!! She had so many questions, she wanted to thank him properly for helping her out of the colosseum, she just...

He was nice. :c ]


I am very sorry to hear that. Sans was very nice to me when I arrived. I will miss him.
