Magnolia, Frisk changed their name to Magnolia? Why? Why did they lie that they had somewhere else to go, but they really didn't.
You tried to contact them, but the phone didn't pick up. You left a voicemail; you don't know if they ever listened to it.
You tracked them down to the San Francisco Bay area, you had even seen them, but from the way they were, they seemed happy until one day they had gone to hang out with friends and broke down crying. Their once bright and beautiful determined soul was so dim that if they were a monster, they would have fallen down from grief.
You wanted to go right up to them and remove your human disguise, tell them that you were there, and they could just go home with you, they could be happy again.
You knew you couldn't though because you saw the bitty on their shoulder comfort them instead. He looked like you, but different. You were secretly listening to the conversation with your magic.
"No, I'm not Error. I wish I was but I'm not. I don't think I could ever go home to where I wish I could be. It's too dangerous for me to go home, I could so easily ruin everything for everyone if I go home."
"Where is home for you? You've never told anyone that."
"You would never believe me, no one here would."
"Try me."
Frisk was in so much mental pain. You could tell. They weren't the happy kid you knew anymore.
"I'm from Northern Alaska, a little hamlet called the village of Hope. It's at the base of a mountain, Mount Ebott."
