"Who are you, anyway?"

Chara asked this to the colorless monster kid as they walked towards Snowdin. She wanted to understand more about the person who was trying to help her, and what happened to her. The monster looked back at her with her blank eyes.

"What's your name?" Chara asked.

"My name? It's U2lzdGVyIEtpZA==."

The monster's voice became unintelligible again. It sounded like some kind of... glitch. Something had distorted her voice beyond recognition.

"Great name," Flowey said.

"Come again?" Chara asked.

She sighed. "You can call me 'Goner Kid.'"

"Goner Kid? Are you related to Monster Kid?"

"As a matter of fact, my sister is the only one who remembers me."

What? Chara remembered Monster Kid mentioning a sister, but how could this be her?

"Of all people, that dummy is the only one," Goner Kid mused. She glanced at Flowey. "Not sure why he can see me, though."

"Probably because I'm supposed to be dead," Flowey figured.

"Hold on," Chara said. "Does your sister even realize what happened to you?"

"Oh, yeah. She just likes to pretend otherwise. She believes that if she continues to act as if I'm still here, it'll bring me back one day. Our parents are convinced she's insane."

God... forgotten by her own parents. If Chara didn't hurry, she'd be next.

"How did it happen?" Chara asked.

"Fucking Gaster."

"I know, but what happened?"

"I don't really know the details," Goner Kid said. "I happened to be visiting the lab for a school project. Gaster and the other scientists were doing an experiment on their timeline machine, when suddenly everything went horribly wrong. The machine tore a hole in spacetime, sucking in everything around it. Gaster fell in first, and three of the other scientists got sucked in with him. I tried to run away, but then I... I tripped. I got sucked in too, and I was scattered across time and space, just because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Well, that sucked.

"Moral of the story," Goner Kid said, "don't do your homework, haha... That was a joke."

"I'm sorry," Chara said.

"What for? This is all Gaster's fault."

Chara wanted to protest, but she didn't know the full story. Maybe Goner Kid had a point. Still...

"I'm sure Gaster couldn't have known what would happen," Chara said.

"So what?!" Goner Kid snapped. "Yeah, I'm sure he didn't mean to get scattered across the multiverse, but that doesn't change the fact that it happened! Good scientists know how to keep their experiments safe and controlled. You know, so they don't tear apart the fabric of reality."

Goner Kid was clearly not happy with Gaster...

Chara's thoughts were interrupted by another change in her stats. Her maximum HP dropped to ten points. She hated this. Losing HP was bad enough, but losing her capacity for HP was unbearable. When a number decreased, that feeling, it felt so wrong. Would her HP ever go back to normal? She was halfway dead, halfway to never seeing her loved ones again.
