She took a deep breath of fresh air as she walked out the door.
The air under the mountain was surprisingly clean. She made the most of it whenever she could, because in the void the air seemed...dull. It had nowhere near the freshness of the air under here.
Well, as Papyrus always says, "Fresh mountain air, straight from under the mountain! It can't get much fresher than that!"
But... what was a mountain?
Were they really underneath one?
She had never taken the time to notice. She remembered Kira and the other humans talking about a place called "the surface." What was this other world? Was it above where they were? How could she get there? COULD she get there? Were the humans from there? Did the monsters live there before? If they did, then why were they here? Every question answered led to even more questions. It was an infinite cycle of questions without answers.
And it annoyed her.
She ignored it and moved on, but hesitated when she felt her glitching return.
She rushed to a hiding place before collapsing, and she was back to her normal, glitchy self...for the time being.
She had discovered that she could not stay with her normal human appearance for long. Every now and then, she'd change back to her original form.
This bothered her, and she wasn't sure why it happened in the first place.
No matter. She could just hack herself back.
She revealed the code, but hesitated when she realized something.
The coding was different from her genocide run. There were more values. Different values. She didn't understand.
There were values for her siblings. There were values for Gaster. There...
...there were no values for Chara.
So it WAS her fault. The guilt came crashing back down on her. She didn't like how guilt made her feel. She felt alone. She felt broken. She felt hurt.
She finally snapped out of her guilt before hacking herself back to normal. She sighed and hid the code before peeking out of hiding. No one was there. Good. She was alone.
She strayed into Waterfall and sat down near a patch of echo flowers, listening to their whispers. She liked being in Waterfall. It was very peaceful. The sounds of trickling water and the whispers of the echo flowers filled the air, calming Glitch's mind and body.
All of a sudden, she felt a feeling she had never felt before.
She felt heavy. She felt relaxed.
What was this feeling, she wondered?
She didn't have much time to think about that as she drifted into a deep, gentle sleep.
The first sleep she had ever slept since before her corruption.
