After[Undertale]

Ch9- Why?

=)

As we walk Jynx trails behind, and considering I've been pretty much used to zipping through ruins by bobbing underground for years (theres not much worth seeing here so I usually just skip it) this feels reeeeeeeaaaaly slow.

I occasionally glance at Jynx and see a conflicted look in their eyes... Why can I see exactly where this is going?

"Uh...Flowey?"

I sigh.

"...Yeah?"

"Uh...why do I still have my soul? You're being so nice and..."

The questions begin.

It's better than an obnoxious "ArE wE nEaRlY tHeRe YeT?", or them going all hysterical because they're stuck down here...I suppose.

"You think I'm being nice?" I scoff.

I literally worried about my video game before this kid.

"...wellll it's not like taking just one soul would do much for me anyway...apart from y'know making the people that keep me down here...pretty upset,"

I mean Sans would kill me.

Like Literally.

I glance at Jynx and they look pretty uneasy.

"And I guuuuuuuess...being down here for this long has calmed me down quite a bit,"

Jynx nods seeming more comfortable with this part of the answer. But they still have that curious look in their eyes.

Don't tell me theres another one...

"So you really just don't have a soul,"

"That isn't even a question."

I sigh.

"...but yeah I don't have a soul,"

"Oh annoying dog I'm sorry... that must-"

"Nope. we're not doing that."

We walk in silence for a couple minutes.

"Um... I've got another one buts it's a bit..." Jynx's voice sounds conflicted.

I roll my eyes at being asked yet another question.

"Just ask the question,"

"You know that pretty much everyone up there thinks you're dead right?"

Well that's blunt.

"Yeah. Yeah I do."

Frisk decided that would be the best option, because not everyone would exactly agree with this whole arrangement.

Jynx just nods slowly.

"So..." they clear their throat.
