(Chapter 81) Parting ways.

Noire tells Rhett everything about how she was revived and how she got here. Rhett sits in silence for a moment before talking.

RHT: Now what? Should we start heading towards the city? Take down Loyd then go to the centre?
NOR: I think we should split up.
RHT: What?! Are you serious?
NOR: Yes. I have some unfinished business that I'd like to take care of before we finish this together.
RHT: What if you get yourself killed?
NOR: Don't worry. My powers have greatly increased. I won't be defeated easily.
RHT: *shrug* Well if you say so. Then we should get going. We can't lose anymore time in this situation.
NOR: I couldn't agree more.

Rhett and Noire give each-other a hug before they go in separate ways. Rhett is headed towards the city of justice while Noire is going to tidy up some unfinished business in the centre. Meanwhile, in the centre, sans is taking it easy.

SNS: Grillby, one more- *burp* -please.
GRB: Sans, what has happened to you?
SNS: Huh? What are you- *burp* - talking about?
GRB: You seem miserable.
SNS: You're just seeing things grilly.
GRB: Yeah, you're definitely wasted. My name's Grillby, sans. Not grilly.
SNS: Whaaat? No way. Your name is...
*DROP*

Sans passes out and drops to the floor, snoring. Grillby lets out a deep sigh before picking him up and carrying him to his house. Grillby has known the skeleton brothers for many decades and they've grown to care about eachother, but he can't quite tell sans about his brothers' disappearance.

GRB: If only I wasn't cursed with this power. Go to hell, you crazed doctor.

Grillby puts sans down on the couch and returns to his bar, closing it then going home himself.
