that loss. it damaged Frisk. the one he loved. his adopted sister, and his significant other. gone. ripped from him by a savage person. the point of no return. it was all there. whatever could be happening now....

he knew others would lose the people close to them.

then he looked up, seeing Outertale Sans. 

''kid, are you okay? you don't seem so good'' he asked. 

''i just lost someone....'' Frisk spoke. 

''emotional scars, huh? you know, i lost my brother and so many other people in my timeline. would have died as well if Ink never found me to place in this resurgance.'' Outer spoke. then wrapped his arm around Frisk.

before long, Asaiki came in, building what appeared to be a goofily made snowman.

''don't worry buddy. we're gonna get there. i have faith'' she said.

Frisk just lightly smiled.

then he turned after they had left him to think. 

it was X!Chara. he then spoke ''that X!Gaster asshole. he turned to be one of the shittiest fathers. he really thought abusing his power to OVERWRITE whatever he wanted was the key to perfection. but we'll shown him. but tell me, do you think you can erase this pain you feel? do you think it's so simple to just remove it from yourself to the point of no return?''

''...i don't need your words. she's gone, and i'm the only one who can even try to bring her back. i don't know how, but i'll find a way'' Frisk said. 

before the search for the next gem of sins, Sans found a bottle of ketchup to drink. something CORE had found. but before he sipped it, he closed the fridge, only to see Frisk.

''oh, hey kid'' Sans spoke.

''Sans, did you ever think we had no problems remaining when we made it to the surface?'' Frisk spoke. ''when Asriel used the last of the power he had to break the barrier? did you think now there would be no troubles for anybody?''

Sans was shocked at this question, and before giving an answer, Frisk spoke ''exactly. you never worry about this. it's because you don't have the motivation to give a damn. it's the apathy you have, knowing it'll blow away in the end''

''kid...'' Sans spoke gently. he knew his friend was philosophical when he wanted to be.

Frisk walked off. 

because it wasn't just X!Gaster who threatened him.

it was a certain feeling he felt, a pull to the dark, one that was driven solely by his loss....

this feeling, he called a creature. this creature, he called...

a black beast.

MEANWHILE.

Flowey scavenged for the next gem. his roots picked everything around.

then he turned. nothing. checking the map, he groaned, realizing he was gonna be strolling for a looong time.

''fuck...'' Flowey moaned. ''would this have been easier if i had others to help?

he shook his head. 

''damn it. i'll only tell them i told them so when i find one at least. maybe they will take what i said at heart.''

then he saw a certain vision. it was Chara, battered, dead, and being lifted up. it seemed her eyes were red. but not her type of red. 

a lime-ish red.

Flowey was confused at first, but then he saw that it was a vicious purple pair of eyes, glowing above Chara's corpse.

that's when he knew:

Chara was being possessed.

''SHIT!'' Flowey spoke, running away as fast as he could. or rather, dirt travelling.

[Writer's note: yeah, there's gonna be a whole subplot dedicated to Flowey' character arc. i hope you like it. we got a long road, nearly halfway as well. you know, doing this for over a half a year, and working on other things, i should feel proud. and i do.]
