Time passes and the sun eventually crosses behind the mountains. After a while, you finally manage to open your eyes and wake up.

NOR: Wakey wakey!
RHT: Oh, it's just you.
NOR: You sound sad about seeing me.
RHT: Ehh, you're kinda annoying, that's all.
NOR: Rhett, what?! Noooo, how could you do this to me..? *sob*
RHT: I'm just joking. Put your head up, crybaby.

Noire kneels down on the ground. You warmly smirk at her and let out a little laugh. Noires' eyes widen and she stares at you in amazement, close to bursting with happiness.

NOR: Y-you... really smiled!
RHT: Oh, stop it. Get off of me!

You push Noire from hugging you and stand back up, wiping the dust off of your clothes. Noires' face turns into a pouty expression. You stare at her with an annoyed look.

RHT: *sigh* Fine, come here.
NOR: Yess!

Noire runs into your arms and hugs you tight. The two of you break the hug. After that, you stretch a bit and summon your blade.

RHT: Jiguko!
*WHOOSH*
JGK: Why have you awoken me from my sleep?
RHT: Meet my friend.
JGK: You mean the humanoid creature with an underdeveloped brain?
NOR: Hey! I'm plenty smart!
JGK: What's Rhetts' last name?
NOR: Ah, hmm... I think it was... Mudroar!

Both you and Jiguko facepalm in sync. Noire lets out a chuckle and scratches the back of her head. Jiguko dissipates back into your blade and you pat Noire on the shoulder.

RHT: Good job on taking down the others down, Bette.
NOR: Anything for you, Rhett!
RHT: But there's still more to go.
NOR: We're splitting up again?
RHT: Yeah, probably. We'll sweep out the palace and meet at the top, inside the chamber.
NOR: Alright.

Noire cracks her knuckles and picks up her axe. The two of you high five each other before walking separate ways.

RHT: I better see you at the top!
NOR: Right back at ya!

Both of you smirk, turn around and continue walking. After a bit, a gust of wind flows through the corridors' ruins. Frisk appears from thin air and leans down, picking up Sans' hoodie.

FSK: Your death will not be in vain, friend.

She stands back up and looks back.

FSK: I'll let you have one more go at that monster.
GNO: Nothing can hide from you, can it? Thanks for the opportunity though.

Geno disappears from behind the pillar and follow Noires' route. Frisk stares through the hole in the ceiling and smirks.
