You are falling, why you are falling you don't quite know.
You can't help but wonder how you got in this situation.
Your memories of your life before now seem to be missing.
You wonder why that is.

You've been falling for quite awhile now.
You wonder how the impacts going to feel.
You wonder if your ever going to reach the ground.
You wonder until you feel sudden excruciating pain throughout your body.
It seems that you've finally landed.

Everything hurts and you can't move, not that you want to.
You just lay there for along time, staring up at the roof above.
You watch as a flower inspects you before eventually leaving.
It seems so strange to see a flower inspect you.
You don't know why though.

Eventually a goat lady appears, and rushes over after spotting you.
She seems to use some sort of magic food to heal you.
This dissipates some of the pain and injuries.
You can sit up now, so you do.
She smiles at this, you wonder why.

"Greetings, I am toriel."
she is quite formal and a bit old fashioned in her speech.
You wonder what her past was like.

"Hello, I am um..*[you]"
That name just feels like its yours, you don't really know why though.
You decide not to question it too much.

"If I may ask...what brought you here *[you]?"
She seems concerned about something.
You wonder what that something is.

"I don't know, all i remember is falling.."
Your a bit distraught, not knowing what you'll do at this point.
She takes notice of this.

"Well thats quite the predicament you've gotten yourself in...
It would be cruel of me to not offer to let you stay at my home."
She smiles and gestures her hand towards you to help you up.
You gratefully accept the help.

"i wouldn't want to be a burden on you"
You cant help but wonder why she seems so eager to help.
However, you trust that she has good intentions.

"Nonsense dear! Its quite lonesome here in the ruins, so its a welcomed change to have a new face present."
She reassures you that you are more blessing than burden.
You take notice of what she referred to your current location as.

"You mentioned ruins, it that what this place is?"
You cant help it, your quite curious about these surroundings.
She seems to realise she hadn't mentioned it till now.

"Yes, that is what this place is called, and I am the caretaker of it."
Her happy expression dissipates, she seems to be in remembrance of something.
"Follow me dear, my home isnt to far from here, just stay close."
She walks off and your quick to follow behind.

She leads you through the ruins and to her home.
Upon entrance, you instantly spot a mysterious staircase across the room.
You start imagining all the different possibilities that staircase could hold.

"Make your self at home dear, ill be in the kitchen if you need me."
Toriel walks off into the room on the left.
Leaving you to your own devices.

Your still quite curious about the staircase, and you figure that it wont hurt to just explore a little, so you head down the staircase soon finding yourself in a hallway.
You walk through the hallway before eventually reaching a door that you dont know whether to open, but before you have the chance to decide, you hear thud followed by a knock on the door.

"Knock knock."
A mysterious male voice seems to be coming from the other side of the door, and you wonder who it could be.

"Who's there?"
You cant deny how awfully curious you are to know who this stranger is.
The stranger is taken aback by your voice it seems.
You wonder if its because they've never heard it before, or they have.
