''it's okay, the wounds won't last forever. They'll stop at some point'' Dream spoke to Cross as he lay on the medbay bed. Or what was meant to replicate a medical bed.

Dream placed some ice on a head sore, then he gently got up. ''I'll get a bit more ice''

''no need'' Cross said. ''this'll have to do''

Frisk looked over at an old locket he had of him, Asriel and Chara. 'best siblings', it said. This adopted family he had. It was a sweet one, one he would never wish to trade. And one of them was gone. The one he loved. The one that was taken from him by a savage, black beast of pink.

With many recruitments, including Delta Sans, there was more then enough to fight back at this point. This could be the brink of the climax.

Delta was having a little sparing clash with Dust, punching his trident, throwing a few fists at him, and even air dodging his flame attack. Frisk watched, not thinking of anything else to do for the time being. He desperately wanted to be able to summon his sword and shield properly, but it wasn't easy. His soul had been dwindling, because it became easier to give up...

''kid. We can't give this up. Trust me, the Frisk in my universe is gone now. I couldn't do anything.'' Delta spoke. ''but you can't save everyone, because if you did, there would be no point, and what would be the point of success if any failure is hollow and non-existent?''

Frisk looked down, a tiny breath. He didn't want to be a part of this anymore. Not because he was cowaring, but because he believed himself a failure.

The time he had resetted everything to begin it over again... was that a trouble that pained him? Was getting a happy ending not all sunshine and rainbows?

But he knew he couldn't RESET now, because he'd be right back at the beginning, and everyone would still be in the underground, Gaster and Asriel dead, and Chara a spooky ghost haunting the ruins to this day.

Only thing he could do now? Save every other timeline and universe he could. There was still hope for them.

The voices In his head were not a detriment. Only a reminder of the pain...

One he has to get out himself.
