What happens when someone hates you so much, that just can't look at you?

You get dropped down a hole, just weeks after you're born.

The Fish and Lady took pity on her, or maybe them? The human doesn't know yet, and won't for a long time.

But the human got mercy, that's what mattered.

"Interesting," a tall figure stood over a small child, seconds away from death. "Very, very interesting,"

He checked it's soul, it wasn't completely formed, as a young human like this one should.

He paused and looked at his. A black, corrupted torn thing. An exact match. He chuckled, thinking weather he should help it.

He and it would get erased soon, so why not coexist? His family would be ok, he left them in good hands, so why not?

A loud and low groan sounded behind them. Gaster turned around to see where the sound was coming from. A large, red Fish with human teeth floated into view.

"Better wake up before you forget," it laughed before it disappeared into dust. A powerful wind blew. Lifting the dust up and forming a large human Lady. A lot taller than Gaster, who was already huge. She was adorn with a white shawl and dress, with a large white sun hat, dirtied with blood and dust. A thin veil covered her face, also astern with blood and dust.

She walked forward with no sound, taking a hand, and placing it firmly on Gasters head. Her vice boomed as she talked "You know what to do, you will judge it and decide it's outcome,"

"Or forget?" Another whispered. Gaster blinked once and she was gone. He turned around to look it the human, their breathing was now shallow and uneven.

He knew what he had to do.

He crouched over it and extended his hands. It's soul blinked into view, a second later, his joined. The contrast was mesmerizing, one side was a bright red, new but fragile, not yet fully formed, the other side was old and tattered, it looked like smoke and ash. He lowered his hands a little and parted them. Both half's combined together to form a conjoined soul. Even though they were now one, the differences was still blinding. But against all odds, it's body excepted the soul and both pieces sank back into the human.

He watched as its blond hair turned darker and darker, stoping at a rich brown. He sighed and smiled for one last time. "Goodbye everyone," he managed to say before he completely disappeared. No dust, no body, no memory.

A black tear rolled down Frisk's face.
