Third ☂ Text

Many of you seem to be unhappy.

We don't all necessarily want you to be happy, but acceptance and adaptation to your situation would be a start. The only question that remains is: how?

It is clear to us that your species resolves many issues through communication. Unfortunately, none of us understand the human psyche as clearly as others of your species, and so I leave it to you to communicate with and to help one another.

You may consider this post an open forum in which you can discuss what's been bothering you. In turn, I will conceal your identities, so that you may help one another without preconceived biases. If you'd like to reveal yourselves to one another, the option is there, but unnecessary.

Heal. Recover.

I'll leave you to it.

...Needing help doesn't make somebody a bad person. Not knowing all the answers right away doesn't make Frisk bad. Nobody could possibly know the right thing to do all the time.

[The whole reason he couldn't beat them even with six souls inside of him... it was because they called out for help, and somebody came. The whole reason the barrier fell. It wasn't really just him. The angel who had seen the surface wasn't a single person, no matter how poetic a prophecy might sound. It was everyone's hearts beating as one. It was six strangers who lost their lives for this. It was all these monsters, their hearts overflowing with love for each other. For Frisk.

It was the quiet voice that Asriel hadn't recognized, hadn't heard, urging Frisk to stay determined.]

I don't think they should have to do things on their own, anymore. It's not fair to them. I think it takes a long time to learn better. Nobody just starts out knowing better.

I think... next time they're brave enough to call out for help, I want to answer them.

I don't really think that's how it works.

[Because they could call for help at any time, right? Call for Toriel, call Papyrus. Sometimes, they could even call Undyne.

And sometimes- most of the time. Nobody picked up.

Even Hadriel was the same. There were people they met here who hadn't even realized they were there, people who'd been here a long time. Longer than them. Sans lived with Alphys as far away as he could. Three children move into an apartment and call it home- bed time is never.

When have any of them ever been allowed to call for help?]

I do think though that maybe Frisk would really like to talk to you. I think they've been acting kind of mean lately.

Do you think you'd want to talk with them if they asked?

[anon]

[alltozero]

Well, that's how it SHOULD work. And I'll try harder to make it so that it is how it works.

They deserve that much.

I'd really like to talk with them, but only if they want to. They haven't been mean, I think they might be... scared, that's all.

I don't think we get to choose how it works.

But I think they'd be happy that you want to try for them.

And I think

I think you're right. They've been a little scared. But also a little selfish, because you're a little scared too. Maybe if you can talk, you can be a little scared together?

[anon]

[alltozero]

I think... I'd really like that. You don't have to pass it on to them, but I...

Ha ha. Even if we live together, I miss them. Does that make sense?

Re: [anon]

[save_theworld]

They miss you too. They think that they didn't really get to know you very well.

Maybe they still can?

[anon]

[alltozero]

Of course they can.

Um, could you tell them one more thing? Let them know that it doesn't all have to happen right away. They can move at their own pace.

We've got plenty of time, after all, don't we?

[Frisk lets out a slow breath, staring at the screen. How- why he would say that, they don't know, but then...

Maybe they're going to need that time. Considering the other conversations they were having right now- maybe. Yes.]

I'll let them know.

They won't forget. Promise.

[alltozero]

Thank you. That's very nice of you.


Um... one more thing?

Tell them I think their striped shirt is very fashionable.

[Their response takes a minute to come through. Purely due to the fact that they spend a good thirty seconds, muffling laughter into their sleeve.]

Thanks. They think yours is very fashionable, too.
