Echoes From The Past

The following days passed a lot faster than you expected. Classes, assignments as well as drama practice every second day, that was your life for now and it swallowed up most of your time. And whenever you had free time, you were busy studying. Just like you were right now.

You were surrounded by seemingly unconquerable walls of books, each one bigger than the previous, while you were busy studying in the library. Turns out studying here was much more effective than studying in your room, probably because here you didn't have to deal with an overly flirtatious Asriel. Maybe your studies would be even more effective if you had a study buddy, or if you would stop drowning yourself in books. You were actually quite surprised that no one asked you to put some of the books back. Those almost ceiling high stacks posed a serious health hazard.

"____, is that really you?" your head perked up at the sound of a vaguely familiar voice.

As you turned around to face it's origin you were, for once pleasantly, surprised to see a familiar face. It seems as if another survivor found their way here.

"Felix?" you asked for confirmation, baffled to actually see a familiar face around here. Or rather a familiar face you actually enjoyed seeing.

"The one and only," he spun around and posed, shooting you a wide smile. You were still unsure whether he was actually a guy or not. His physique said no but something, probably his smell, told you that he was indeed a guy.

A smile began to spread across your face as you stood up from your chair. Memories of those very few pleasant moments you had during the experiment began flooding your mind. Like that one time he accidentally put on a dress and looked simply adorable.

As you emerged from your chair, ready to properly greet your old friend, you heard a loud thud noise. It was at this very moment you realized that stacking half of the libraries books on the same table was a huge mistake.

You bumped your knee on the table and the once gigantic walls of books began to shake violently, foreboding impending doom. Only seconds later, the entire construction fell apart.

You instinctively raised your arms to shield your face, perfectly aware of what's going to happen next. "Oh shi..."

With a loud rumbling sound you were buried underneath the crashing waves of knowledge.

"Oh my god! ____, are you alright?" Felix exclaimed in a worried tone as he gasped in shock. Without wasting another second, he rushed over to you and began removing books from the huge pile.

You pushed your fist through the pile of books and gave a thumbs up, then began to slowly dig your way out. In the meantime the librarian arrived, gave the entire scene a scrutinizing look and made a simply hush gesture before returning to the front. He was blind as a mole.

It took you a moment until you finally managed to dig your way out of the pile of books that you were buried under. The day was only halfway over and you've already learned a valuable lesson. Next time you construct a fortress of books, make sure you build it in a structurally stable way.

"Are you unharmed, do you need me to check on any injuries?" Felix asked in a deeply concerned way, amazed by the fact you seemed to have no visible injuries. He's always been like that, always concerned about his friends.

Back during the experiment he was the first to check if you had any injuries and he would treat them right away if he found any. If you remember correctly his focus was healing magic.

You looked at yourself. All four of your limbs were still attached and unscathed, you had no paper cuts or bruises and were feeling fine overall.

"Yep, feeling totally fine," you calmly responded. "So, is there something you want to talk about?"
