a cup of hot chocolate at his favorite diner reminds Kris of how he actually feels ;

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Once he was done with school for the day, Kris never had much spare time to spend hanging around town. When he was but a freshman, he was told by his foster mother and teacher of the kindergarten class to wait for her to finish her business so the two of them could go back home together, and ever since then he'd do just that. It wasn't something he ever particularly enjoyed doing - spending time with Toriel alone was wonderful and soothing, but it was hardly what Kris considered "fun"- however it had become noticeably less entertaining for the boy ever since Asgore had stopped meeting them halfway.

Things were different that day, however. Toriel was in bed with a cold and Asgore was strangely busy with his shop, so Kris was standing alone at the school gates, with a rather straightforward path to follow and that ever so beloved freedom to choose how to spice it up. But perhaps because the boy had become unacquainted with such freedom, he was feeling a little odd: he wanted to do so many different things and yet at the same time he didn't know where to start from. Should he stop by the lake first, or try to sneak inside the abandoned Grillby's? A trip to the forest also sounded good in his mind, but then again, maybe he should have visited Mr. Holiday at the hospital instead...
