Tommy and Lady Kristen got along pretty well. The way to the entrance took maybe fifteen minutes and yet, Tommy already loved this woman. Everything about her reminded him about his father. The way she held his hand like it was made out of glass, how softly her voice sounded, how she cared about him despite that they meet a couple of minutes ago.

"You know, you're the first human who has fallehere fora very, very long time," LadyKristen suddenlysaid.

"Wait, so there were others before me?"

"...Yes," Lady Kristen said, but her mood visibly dropped.

"Oh, ok," Tommy said. He didn't want to continue the subject and make her uncomfortable. "Oh hey, look! Is that the entrance to the ruins?" Tommy said to change the subject.

"Ah yes, it is!" Kristen gladly took the bait and changed the topic. "Come, I don't want you to get lost in the catacombs."

But what got Tommy's attention was a bright star-thing in front of the entrance. Tommy, amazed by the glowing thing touched it. By the moment he did that, a communicat popped up, with the following message:

The shadow of the ruins looms above, filling you with DETERMINATION. HP fully restored.

SAVE RETURN

Tommy, slightly confused chose the save option, because why would he not?

File saved

Tommy even more confused watched as the screen faded out of existence, but shrugged it off. It's probably nothing, maybe Flowey just forgot to mention something? But yet, Kristen seemed like she didn't see the glowing object. Tommy, lost inthoughts was pulled back to earth by Kristen asking concerned:

"My dear child, is something wrong?"

"Oh right! Sorry, Lady Kristen, I just got... lost in thoughts" Tommy rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.

"It's okay My Child. Now, come here, we still need to go through the ruins."  Lady Kristen said and opened the entrance, allowing Tommy to go first.

After Tommy entered the Ruins, Lady Kristen took his hand again and started walking towards the first puzzle. While they walked there, Tommy met a couple of monsters from the ruins. At first, the monsters were skeptical about the human, but after he spared every single one of them, they started to trust him. Lady Kristen even let him try and fight with a dummy, but Tommy spared it too. She showed him some puzzles too. Unfortunately, his mom- Lady Kristen needed to go somewhere and she needed to leave him alone.

"Here, take this cellphone so I can contact you and you can contact me."  Lady Kristen said with a smile while Tommy shoved the phone into his jacket. "Don't go anywhere, the ruins can be dangerous,"  She said and walked away. Tommy waited. He really did! But after some time, he decided that he will go through the ruins alone.

At first, it was easy. Most of the puzzles were only to flip a switch or press a button. He spared a couple of monsters when he came across them. He fell into a hole once or twice, but found his way up easily. Lady Kristen called a couple of times, asking about something about cinnamon and butterscotch? And something about if he has any allergies. He figured that would be important later. Monsters were extremely friendly, once the rumors about a nice human that fell spread through the ruins. Some greeted him, some gave him free gold and some just talked to him! About half an hour later, Tommy found another corridor with another weird star-thingy. Next to the thing was a table with... cheese on it? And there was a mouse-hole in the wall. Tommy walked up to the table and a message popped up:
