A finely dressed man stepped behind a podium, surrounded by a massive audience. His handsome appearance was befitting for a prince. He had long blond hair, blue eyes, a longsword on his hip, and a regal white coat, all complimenting his elegant posture. He spoke to the audience with grim passion. "My fellow citizens! It is with solemn responsibility that I, Vice President Rhys Clovis, accept appointment to the office of President of the World Government. What happened at the Ebott Courthouse was a shameful display of terrorism. Let us be thankful that the only ones to die were radicals such as our traitorous former President Jacob Malcom, as well as the idiotic World Master Frisk."

the newly appointed President Clovis continued to condemn both Frisk and the terrorists, insisting that while Frisk had dug his own grave, the terrorists' unlawful methods could not be condoned.

"Rest assured they will all be dealt with," Clovis said. "General Ackerman is hard at work leading the brave soldiers of the Military Police in cleaning up this threat, including the escaped fugitive Monty Togami. All terrorists will pay the price for acting above the law.

"... however, while terrorism is never acceptable, I do not condemn the goal they were trying to achieve. These filthy monsters, who illegally mass immigrated into our territory, should never have been admitted into human society! Elizabeth Malcom may have been a terrorist, but she knew our ancestors had sealed the monsters away for a reason! Which is why, as President of the World Government, I hereby demand Congress to pass a law banishing monsterkind back Underground!"

The crowd erupted with fervent roars, both in favor and against Clovis's harsh proposal.

"The monsters claim to be weak!" Clovis exclaimed. "They claim we have nothing to fear, but the battle yesterday has proven they are perfectly capable of killing us! If we don't act, Boaris's warning will come true, and if they won't go back quietly, we must –"

Chara turned off the TV.

"... nothing's changed," Chara muttered. "Nothing has changed."

Chara laid down on the couch she had been sitting on. She was in Alphys's lab. Flowey and Elodie sat beside her.

"Well, what did you expect?" Flowey asked. "You didn't actually think anything would change, did you?"

"They're all idiots," Chara said. "The monsters will never go back Underground, and to challenge them is suicide. They should understand that by now."

Key word: should, Frisk said.

Alphys walked over to them, holding a PDA in her hands. "U-umm, I finished checking out the readings."

Chara jumped out of the coach. "What did you see? Is she okay?"

"Y-yes," Alphys said. "Felicia is still there."

Elodie breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God..."

Ever since Jacob's death, Felicia hadn't spoken a single word. Chara had begun to fear the worst, so she had Alphys scan her soul to make sure Felicia's essence was still active. She was so relieved that it was.

Still, Chara wished Felicia would talk to her.

"... what about Jacob?" Chara asked.

Alphys shook her head. "He's gone."

Well, that was to be expected. Jacob had lost the will to live, of course he was gone. The soul he had left behind was nothing more than an empty shell.

"But we can still use his soul, right?" Chara asked.

Alphys nodded. "Yeah, we can use it to bring Frisk back, or we could use it to make Felicia a new body."
