(Show Toriel and Steven sleeping) Steven: Well, that candy was good. We must have dozed off. We might as well take another candy for the road. No signs to tell us otherwise. Not unless the torn off label here said so. (Hint, hint.) Toriel: I must go shopping, my child. Steven: OK. I can still call you, right? Toriel: Yes. Now I must go.  I have a surprise for you and the other human. Steven: Sure. I can't wait to see him/her. Toriel: Use the  "Them" pronoun. Steven: Why? Toriel: Because they are non-binary. Steven: What does that mean? Toriel: It means they don't identify as a boy or girl. Steven: OK. See ya. Toriel: What a wonderful child. Hope they call me. Steven: By the way, I heard you. I'm a boy. Just to let you know before you get confused. (5 minutes of waiting around later) Where is Toriel? I better go on. Must still be buying groceries. (Sees save point) How curious. (He interacts with it) Narrator: The beautiful leaves, so neatly arranged by seemingly nobody, fills you with determination. Steven: What does determination mean here? (Later) A clear room! Niiice. Short too. Just the break I needed. Maybe I'll call Toriel. Narrator: Ring, ring. Steven: OK, mysterious disembodied voice. I already have you reading everything. (Angrily) You don't need to do THE SOUND EFFECTS. I'm just not going to listen to you. Toriel: What was that, my child? Steven: Nothing! Nothing. Just my imagination. So, how are you? Toriel: Fine. Where are you? You have not left the room yet, have you? There are some puzzles I did not explain yet. Steven: Well, yes. Sorry, but I got bored. I'm in this small, empty room. There are some strange markings on the floor. Ima keep walking. Toriel: OK. Just be careful. I love you. Steven: Love you, too. Bye, Mom. Toriel: Mom? Aww. I guess it was inevitable. I guess I am kind of motherly. Call me whatever you like. I love that we are already family. Narrator: (Click!) Steven: You just never stop, do you, voice? Anyways, I should go on. I WHOA! (Falls down a hole) Fallen down again, have you, Steven? Good there's a door there. I'm up. Alright. Let's trek on. Steven: (Thinking) Why is this place so empty? I feel like I'm missing out on something. Hmm? A rock? What does a boy do here? Oh, a sign. Narrator: 3 out of 4 grey rocks recommend you push them. Steven: OK, now I have to listen. Are rocks sentient? Gems are, and they are made of the same stuff as rocks, right? Hmm. Maybe I have to push it onto the button to get rid of the spikes. (Facepalm) Of course! So obvious! How could I miss that? Well, the derp continues. Time for trekking on.
