As if it were all just a bad dream, Chara found herself back at Grillby's with Frisk, Flowey, and everyone else. Sans, Undyne, Alphys, Nate... they were all alive again. They were all sitting at their table, unaware of what had happened.

"So," Undyne said, "how's everyone – whoa, are you guys all right?"

Chara, Frisk, and even Flowey looked like death.

"H-hey..." Undyne stuttered, "what's wrong?"

Chara thought about telling her that she saw everyone die, but that would have been creepy.

"Hmm..." Sans hummed. "Looks like the three of you know something we don't."

Frisk nodded. "Y-yes, I had to reset. Something awful happened."

"The worst happened," Chara said.

"Meaning?" Nate asked.

"So, uh, yeah..." Flowey said. "That plan of Malcom's we just told you about? The one about giving Boaris human souls and going on a rampage? Well..."

Undyne gasped. "No way..."

"Y-you mean... it happened?" Nate asked.

Frisk whimpered. "Y-yes."

"How bad?" Undyne asked.

"E-everything," Frisk muttered. "He destroyed everything."

Everyone was silent as they processed what Frisk said.

"W-wow..." Undyne said quietly. "So, what now?"

"I imagine we have a broadcast from Malcom coming," Flowey said. "Any minute now."

Flowey was as keen as always. Just a minute later, the restaurant's monitors were taken over by a special address from President Malcom.

Malcom's expression was just as miserable as theirs. "Everyone," he said, "I have terrible news. There has been a large reset recently, and for good reason. I regret to inform all of you that the worst has happened. Before the reset, our world was destroyed by a monster with human souls."

The whole restaurant whispered in shock. Yet, as insane as it sounded, they knew Malcom was telling the truth. Deep in their souls, they could still feel the horrors Boaris had unleashed.

Malcom let out a pained breath. "The monster was none other than Boaris. It all happened so fast. It started like any other day. I met him in my office for a routine meeting, and while my guard was down, the beast grabbed me by the neck and snapped it. He wasted no time absorbing my SOUL. My security team tried to stop him, but there was nothing they could do. Boaris killed them all. Even..." he sobbed, "e-even Nora, who I have been friends with sense we were kids. I could only watch as Boaris tore her apart limb from limb!" He broke into tears.

Chara was filled with more rage than words could express. He told Boaris to kill him, and he couldn't even accept responsibility for it. Typical politician, a corrupt megalomaniac with no integrity. How had humanity come to be represented by the worst of humanity?

"R-rest assured, Boaris has already been detained," Malcom said through his fake tears. "I can hardly speak of the things he did. The entire world was up in flames, and that is not a figure of speech. So many people burned in his fire, and not just humans, but monsters as well. I'm sorry, I can only imagine what it feels like to burn to death. I am so ashamed that my SOUL was used to make this happen."

Chara screamed at the monitor. "You liar! You wanted this! If you're going to destroy the world, at least have some fucking dignity about it!"
