Can they bring back Toriel?

Toriel.

Toriel!

The queen, she can fix things.

Human, wake up.

Toriel needs you.

Toriel...

You sit up. You're in a slightly different place. There are drag marks in the dirt from where you were being pulled by the monsters. Well, you're definitely going to feel that later. For a second breathing doesn't come easy to you. Your chest feels like it's being pushed on. Sitting up, you realize that a Vegetoid is bouncing on your chest. 

What a dick, you think, but treat him kindly. He must be awfully scared, all the monsters that are surrounding you right now as well. The Froggit from before nudges you. You feel a strange connection to it, as it's the first monster you ever met and used your power on. Turning, you look into his eyes and nod. Slowly, you stand up. Your head feels light and dizzy. Visions of snow and death flash before you, but you stand strong.

"Please, lead the way to Toriel," you say. Froggit hops forward and starts leading the way. Nobody else really follows, except Whimsum a second later. But she clings to Froggit's side. The two seem inseparable. 

You three don't say much to each other. Even if they tried talking to you, the way all the other monsters of the ruins are looking at you is really creeping you out. Most are standing in the shadows, almost glaring at you. You're confused. Every single one of these monsters, they're alive because of you.

Where's the gratitude you deserve?

(Ribbit)

I know what you're thinking, Human.

(Ribbit)

You're confused because they aren't welcoming you. Right?

How he knew so easily, you aren't sure.

"My name is (y/n), not human. And yes, I'm confused. I saved you all. Shouldn't they be glad...?" Whimsum meekly speaks up. She's trying not to cry, you can tell. Whimsum reminds you of Frisk when they were very young. Frisk never speaks now, but back in the day it was even worse. Frisk was quiet, and when people tried to talk to them, they would burst into tears.

"T-they... they're scared of you... you look similar to s-someone who came here a long time ago. P-plus... we have faint memories of humans taking away our loved ones..." She stops speaking and turns away.

(Ribbit) And the experience we just went through... We all are very grateful, but... We monsters do not always show our gratitude in the same way humans do, it seems.

"Why not?" You ask grumpily, sounding more like a four-year-old than your actual age. Respect is something earned, not just given. And you definitely aren't acting like you deserve any ounce of respect. "Don't you treat people with kindness, tell them thank you? A simple thank you would suffice, seriously."

You have much to learn from our kind. 

(Ribbit) 

We've learned to be wary of all humans. 

You put us down here, and many of us still don't want to show you mercy or spare you.

"W-we're really sorry... they should welcome you... Toriel, once you bring her back... She'll want to meet you..." Whimsum lets out a strange chime sound. "We're here..." A large room opens up before you. There's a dying tree in the middle, and at the base there's ashes. A cute little house stands tall behind the tree... it fills you with sudden determination. The ashes at the base of the tree belong to Toriel, you're sure. You glance at Froggit, and he nods.
