From Darkness to Light

{Handplates chapter reference: looking forward}

Was this what death felt like?
Or was this something else?

You couldn't remember how you got here but it was as if your mind was swimming in darkness and you could not move.

Not feel.

Not think.

You were just...there.

Watching.

Sometimes the darkness split open, and you were able to catch a few glimpses of a world that you were no longer part of.

You saw scenarios, unfamiliar faces and strange situations and the moment that window closed again, it felt as if all memories about those things were gone. You were forced back into the state that you were in, which somewhat felt as if you were in a coma.

And then something unimaginable happened.

Suddenly, you stood in the middle of a darkened hallway.

There was a bright blue illuminating the space and before you could guess or understand what happened, you felt a pair of eyes on you.

And there, he was.

That small skeleton, pressed against his brother's chest as he slept. His eyes bore into you as if he tried to figure out what you are or how you got here.

Neither question could be answered so you just smiled at him, the way he looked at you making you want to comfort him and ease his fear.

And then, it was all dark again.

It was just the blink of an eye before you were pulled back again into the darkness and there you remained.

Until now.

Something had changed.

The two skeleton brothers sat on the bunk bed. The "seeing" sessions that Gaster had set up for 2-P have increasingly become more successful and, of course, 2-P taught everything he learned and discovered to 1-S when the lights were out and Gaster left the lab.

"CAN YOU REALLY NOT SEE?"

"that's what i told him.", answered 1-S casually.
"I WANT TO TRY."

"cmon bro, i am tired."

"BROTHER."

"ok, ok."

2-P extended his hand: "TAKE MY HAND."

"why?"

"I THINK IT WILL HELP."

1-S chuckled and took 2-P's hand. "heh, alright if you say so." They both closed they eyes and took deep breaths in to concentrate.

"WHAT DO YOU SEE? WHAT'S THE LAST THING YOU SEE?", 2-P asks after a moment of silence.
1-S remained silent, focusing on the image that appeared to him. It slowly started to unblur.

"red...and gold.." There was a golden checkered floor. Two skeletal hands with blue sleeves and red staining their hands. Whatever that meant.

"what about you?" 2-P took another small breath, trying to focus on his own vision: "WHITE...AND PINK, AND BLUE.."
There was fog. It slowly started to clear and it revealed something, or someone wearing a blue shirt with pink stripes.

Both skeletons slowly open their eyes again and 2-P speaks up: "BROTHER YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?"
He took 1-S's face into his hands, looking into his eyes with excitement and hope.
