Toriel's POV:

M/n...

An interesting child he is...

The first time I met him, he looked at me as if he's seeing someone else. I get that a lot. I use to see other fallen children as my own. A replacement for what I have lost. As cruel as that may seem, it's the only way I keep myself stable in this lonely little home.

He didn't look fearful the first time he saw me, unlike the other children that's fallen down.

Maybe it's because he's much older than the rest of them?

...Or is it something else?

I guided him to the ruins, thought him how to solve the puzzles. He was very enthusiastic about it. Everytime his eyes sparkle and he hops from his place out of the sheer excitement of solving a puzzle made me chuckle fondly.

He seems to struggle to form words, which made me worry a lot.

His eyes were very unique. I've never seen such a beautiful (e/c) before. I've never seen anyone with that shade of eye color, wether it'd be monsters or the fallen children.

He's such a happy youth.

But I know better.

I know better that behind those joyful eyes were hidden grief and sorrow... loneliness and longing.

I've hidden those myself.

It made me feel more connected with him than most of the fallen children.

Knowing that he long's for something too.

When his eyes met mine, I knew he saw all I was hiding. All the pain, all the regrets, the fears... The loneliness.

When I held his hand to guide him on another puzzle that seems to dangerous for him, I heard him humming.

It was such a soft and gentle melody. It was filled with love.

I think he didn't realize he was humming, because he looked at me with questioning eyes as I stopped to embrace the melody in my soul.

We both spent time together and got close instantly.

Until he asked to leave...

It pained me.

Knowing that another one wants to leave as well.

We fought.

Like the other children, we fought.

The fight felt like eternity as begin to hesitate to attack him.

I don't want him to get hurt. I don't want him to die. Please.

You'll be safe here.

You'll be safe...

You'll be...

...

It hurts...

But...

For his sake...

I'll put everything aside-

" Tori!"

My eyes widened as I look back.

It was a simple smile and a wave...

Yet his eyes...

It came like waves.

All the emotions held at once.

It came crashing to my soul.

He looked so broken....
