I called Alphys an hour later.

"H-Hey!" She sounded super high pitched.

"Why are you so high pitched?" I laughed a little, hoping I was supposed to be.

She cleared her throat, "Just, uh... Nervous. For the presentation later t-today... I'm also nervous about stuttering d-during the presentation... I was told that it isn't good while doing something as big as I am and... Uh, never mind. What's up?"

"Um, we had a run in with a glitch today. And he asked... For you. And he... He was going to kill me unless I gave you up and... And... I'm trying to think of a plan around this but... He's really powerful and I don't know what he's going to make you do and... I'm so sorry for doing this to you."

I heard her sigh, "His name was Error, wasn't it?"

"Y-Yes! Do... Do you know him?"

"I-I do. He's a r-r-really bad glitch. If h-he's here, in t-t-this timeline, we are a-all in danger. I'll go, I'd r-rather me perish t-than this t-t-timeline."
