I was with Toriel in the kitchen making French toast and bacon. The sizzling of which filled my head as I was cooking but my heart wasn't in the right head space. All I could remember was the blood on Frisk...why was there blood on Frisk? I don't remember Frisk going anywhere so...why was there so much-

"Ouch!"

In my moments of not focusing on the cooking I had let my hand touch the rim of the pan which left a red mark.

'i should really be focusing more. Maybe Frisk just tripped'

A hand patted my shoulder and I jolted out of my concentration and turned around to meet Toriel's stern eyes.

"I don't believe you ever told me your name neither have I told you mine"

Toriel remarked and I acknowledge that fact with a quick nod. A palpable awkwardness spread throughout the kitchen.

After what seemed to be a long pause Toriel continued,

"I'm sure as you have already known this but I'm Toriel."

Toriel waited for my response and I nervously said,

"Oh my name is...my name...is..."

I look confused. A vague panic spreading under the surface and a thought..a single terrifying question surfaced to my mind.

**'why can't I remember my own name'***
