Integritale-Rebirth

Chapter 02: Disturbance

-What...what are you doing here...?

Sans was so astonished by the hooded figure standing in front of him that he couldn't even move.

-I can tell you are not very happy to see me.

Sans looked at her, still confused.

-Well...you have to agree, our last meeting wasn't ideal.

-You know I didn't act this way out of malice...right?

-Yes, I understand. You had to do this in order to save me. But the fact that you need to be here again...it troubles me.

-Why...?

-Because it means I've done something wrong. Something I need to fix.

-No, not really... I...I wanted to come here myself.

-I wish it was so. But, unfortunately...this can't be you. This is just a dream, isn't it? Which means that my subconscious created you in order to tell me something. Something I did wrong.

-It is a dream, indeed. But it's still the real me.

-But...it can't be... You... You are...

-Yes. I am dead indeed. My spirit isn't.

Sans looked down.

-Hey...call my name...like you used to do...

Sans looked at her ready to utter her name, but stopped.

-I haven't called your name in years...it feels kinda awkward.

-I see. she smiled bitterly, walking towards him. Guess I'm gonna have to wait then.

She sat down, next to Sans. Sans sat beside her.

-If this is really you...why did you not come earlier?

-You had to move on, didn't you? I couldn't just drag you down, you know.

-Then why did you come again, after so many years?

-I did want to see you again. I've... I've missed you.

-Heh...I see. he chuckled. This feels...weird. I feel like my old wounds are reopening... I suddenly feel so...so nostalgic.

-I'm sorry... I should have known this was a bad idea.

She almost got up ready to leave, but Sans grabbed her hand.

-Stay.

-I shouldn't. My presence is only hurting you.

-Thing is though... I've missed you too...S...Serifa.

She looked at him with teary eyes. She noticed Sans was holding back some tears as well. Suddenly, they fell into each other's arms, holding tightly onto each other. Serifa burst into tears.

-Why did this have to happen to us? Why??? We were so great together, so happy! We never hurt a soul!! It's not fair, It's not fair, it's not fair!!!!

Sans held her, letting a few tears fall.

-It's not fair... I know... But you taught me that, remember? You taught me how we can't always have what we want or what we deserve...

-I know, but it sucks! I hate this! I hate being all alone, I hatewatching you from afar, unable to even talk to you!! It hurts, Sans... It hurts... I never wanted to die! My life was awful and, just when it was getting better, I was left behind! God hates me, fate hates me, everything hates me!!!!
