"What do you mean I wasn't there!?" You stand in shock staring at Frisk her merely shrugs and looks at the table a bit before back at you.

"I did 24 resets before you showed up. You were... just there.... all of a sudden you were around in the Underground and Gaster wasn't. I figured it was a bug or something, maybe the reset messed up? But the next reset, and the next all to this point... you were still there, and Gaster was gone. You didn't exist at all through the resets. You weren't even a baby bones, one reset you are not there, the next.. you were." They explain.

You... didn't exist?

Then how the hell did you happen!? Gaster said your mother died after birth, that your parents were soulbound and once she died, your father followed suit and passed soon after, leaving you and him to fend for yourselves.

Gaster was left with a baby sister to care for.

With the help of some monsters he took care of you best he could.

Was it a lie!?

Did he lie!?

You were so far in thought you hadn't realized Frisk holding your skull to their chest petting you.

When had they moved near you..

Why were they holding you?

"Easy... breath... relax." They whisper.

You hadn't noticed you edged yourself into a panic attack, that's why they were holding you. They whispered soft words of praise and encouragement for you.

After what felt like hours, you manage to calm down, they still pat your skull softly till they knew you'd be ok for them to let you go. Pulling away you slowly inhale, and exhale to calm whatever remained. Frisk watched you with worry before moving away a bit.

"S-Sorry about that..." You mumble.

"No need to be, I'm glad you had an attack here, instead of on your way back home. Do you want to stay the night just to make sure you are ok?" They asked still a bit concern for you.

You merely shake your head. "No. Thanks though, but I will be fine.... Is there anything else?" You look up at them, they nod.

"I can't reset anymore." The speak bluntly.

"Wha..t?" You blink, staring at them shocked.

"Since Gaster returned, I don't even have the option to reset anymore. Bringing him back, it.. fixed what was wrong I guess is the way to put it.. if anything was broken in the first place." They shrug, not really sure how to phrase it.

"S-So this.. this is it? The last.... the last run? W-We get to stay on the surface!?" You couldn't help but get a bit happy over it. If this was it, no more losing people! No more dealing with genocides and dying!

Frisk nods with a soft smile. "Yes. You get to stay here, with everyone. They get to be happy."

Oh stars you were crying now!

Tears leak out of your sockets, you quickly cover your face as the weights and stress of the resets lift from your shoulders. You sob into your hands, Frisk holds you once more.

You stare at the couch in shock, you had just gotten back to the humans house, most where out at work or doing who knows what, and when you entered, it was low lighting, the tv was on and a flickering light was on the couch. Looking over you were greeted with a sorta, heart breaking sight.

You former lover, and beloved brother, snuggled up on the cough watching an action movie.

Gaster was laid atop Grillby snuggled into his chest, Grillbys' arms lay over him lazily as they relaxed.

You frown, but you were also happy.

They were back together. Shortcutting to your room you lay on the bed with a sigh.

You finally get to have a life that won't be snuffed out by a reset.

What the fuck do you do now!?
