You look to your left. There is a small corridor. You enter.

"Ohhh~! Candy!"

There is a tall pillar of quartz with a candy dish on top. Its filled to the brim.

"I don't suppose anyone will notice ONE candy is missing."

You reach for the bowl, looking both ways as if someone may be watching. You can feel the crinkle of the Sliver rappers benith your fingertips.
You took the biggest one you could find and put it in your pocket.

"Hmm...One more can't hurt.. Could it?"

You take another candy, how disgusting.

"...What if I get hungry along the way?"

You take another piece of candy, you feel like the scum of the earth.

"Just one more, then I'm done."

You reach for the bowl again. You lightly tap it and it falls over. It shatters as it hits the ground.
You took too much too fast. The candy spills across the floor.

"Serves me right for being greedy..."

You walk away. Unhappy with yourself.

(You answered)

"Hello?"

"Oh! Hi mom!"

"For no reason in particular, which do you prefer? Cinnamon or Butterscotch?"

"Ummm...Butterscotch!"

"Oh, I see. You do not dislike cinnamon, do you?"

"No"

"I know what your preference is, but... Would you turn up your nose if you found it on your plate?"

"No I like cinnamon too. But I like Butterscotch more!"

"Right, right, I understand. Thank you for being patient, by the way."

You continue on with your journey. Solving puzzles, arguing with a rock, fighting veggies, all while staying determined.

------------------------

You enter a new room. In the middle of the room there is a pile of red leaves. On top lay a tall, pale ghost.

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..."

Its pretending to sleep

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...? (Are they gone yet?)"

"It speeks?"

You lightly poke the paranormal creature. You wake him up.

"Oh...I'm sorry. Am I in your way?"

"Yes, actually. Can you move please?"

The ghost moves over to the right

"You know that you could have just gone through me? Right?"

"Oh... Well, bye!"

You start to walk away.

"*Sigh* I just weagh you down...nnggg."

You heard the ghost talk to himself.

"Don't say that!"

You shout at him.

"Don't say that about yourself!"

You run up and hug him as best as you could.

"I may not know you. But, I think that your a great person- uhh ghost!"

"Heh heh...thanks. but you know I can't hug back...I'm a ghost, that would be weird. Besides, I don't have arms.."

You give him a smile.

"So, what's your name?"

"Napstablook."

"That's a cool name! I'm Frisk!"

"Can I show you something?"

"Go for it!"

Napstablook starts to cry. His tears are reversed so they float upwards. Some of the teardrops start to form a little top hat on his head.

"I call it Dapper-Blook. Do you like it?"

"You look very fancy!"

"Thank you...I usually come to the ruins because there's nobody around...But today I met someone nice."

He smiles.

"Oh... I'm rambling again. I'll get out of your way. Goodbye...Frisk."

He gives you a smile as he floats upwards and disappears.

"Bye Napstablook! I hope to see you again soon!"

You start to continue your journey.

"What's this?"

You bend down to see that there are 4 gold coins on the ground.

"Finders keepers!"

You pick up the coins and place them in your pocket.
