You sit there with Chara, watching TV for every single moment. Until Chara asks an interesting question...

"Say, I never got your name..." Chara said.

"O-Oh! My name's Y/N!" You said, sounding quite nervous.

Chara chuckled.

"...So, uh... got any other ideas than just a TV?" You asked.

"Eh, either that, or I torture you for my own amusement." Chara responded.

You chuckled, slowly shuffling away from Chara.

"Oh, you don't gotta be scared." Chara said.

"...I know." You said, shuffling a bit more before Chara quickly stabs a small bit of the couch about 3 inches away from your arm. "...oooookaaayy."

"...You don't have to be scared." Chara said again.

"I don't know, you kinda said you would torture me if I stopped watching TV with you, and also what happened about... a couple of minutes ago, so, I'd much rather-"

Chara hovers their knife over your chest.

"You don't have to be scared, (Y/N)." Chara repeated.

"...Say, while we're on this topic of making it seem like you're gonna stab me, I kinda gotta tell you something..."

Chara slowly puts their knife to their side.

"So, I kinda had a dream about you last night- not really a "dream" per say, more or so, a nightmare..." You say, trailing off.

"Everyone I met had a "more or so nightmare" about me, let me guess, stabbed the back of your head in it and told you to beg for mercy?" Chara asked. You nod, Chara scooting closer to you. "A lot of people told me that, it's a natural effect, you could say..."

You gulp, Chara scooting closer.

"Why so silent now?" Chara asked, scooting even closer. They had a rather confident smile.

"...Could I have a moment to myself?" You ask.

"Unfortunately, I don't think so." Chara responded.

"No, seriously, I think I'm having a small bit of some trust issues, y'know with you breaking in, threatening me, me having a weird nightmare about you killing me, and you saying it's "natural", and you say you met people as in past-tense, so there's quite a lot of factors..." You say, scooting away to the edge of the couch.

"Well, in that case, go do whatever." Chara said. "If you're having trust issues, just go have some you time."

"R-Really?"

Chara rushes towards you, grabbing your shoulder, and throwing you onto the couch.

"Like hell!"

"W-Is there any reason why you don't want me to have alone time?" You ask.

"W-uhhhh"

"Gotcha there!" You say, very carefully getting off the couch, and stepping away, getting to your room. You open the door, and just kinda lay on your bed, staying there, and processing basically everything. The dream, the way Chara didn't seem to like you being alone, Chara saying "met" in past tense...

...Did Chara kill them? No, no, they couldn't, they were just threatening you, nothing else, it was just for jokes! ...Right? Right! Nothing could ever cause Chara to kill you! ...Except they did kill you. Tens, hundreds, if not thousands of times, hell, maybe millions of times. Just because it didn't go the way they wanted it. How many times did Chara kill you, nay, even reload there? Are you just... a NPC? No, no, it couldn't, you're living, you're your own person, and nothing could change that at all! You are (Y/N). Nothing can change that.... except something could, Chara could reload, save, and reset... are they being controlled? Do they have the powers of a video game character, maybe, are you a video game character?

...What is even true anymore?
