I wake up, my body a tad bit sore from searching for Surama for the past few days, and having that shadow clone help teach at "extracurricular" class. But something did smell nice. I look at the usual UI and see that it's updated a bit. And I now have... A hunger bar... Great...

I walk out of my room and towards the Kitchen. To my surprise, it's Chara! Oh, and if you don't know who's POV it is by now... Also I like the new intro song.

Caleb: Chara, is that delicous smell you, or the food you're making?

I say why leaning over the mini bar counter.

Chara: Tch. You're such a tease...

Caleb: Well it's working.

Chara: Th-That's just my natural blush!

Caleb: Sure... So, it's not anyday I wake up to a pretty girl cooking for me, what's the occasion.

Chara: You didn't used to be like this...

Caleb: And you didn't want to hang around me at all before. I'm sure we'll get more flashback scenes at some point.

Chara: Huh?

Caleb: Nevermind that last bit. Just... A lot of confusing things.

I look at the fourth wall.

Caleb: Am I right?

Chara: You bet! All this nonsense with our souls...

Caleb: Hehehe, you sound like Toriel!

Chara: Hehehe, yeah...

Caleb: Something wrong?

Chara: I-It's just... You mentioned it briefly about a week ago, but it's been bothering me ever since...

Caleb: Well, don't just stand there! You can ask me anything!

Chara: I-In that case... What's wrong with you're sou--

Caleb: Stop right there.

Chara: What? Listen, Caleb--

Caleb: The answer is no, Chara. I'm not comfortable showing or talking about it.

Chara: And if something happens to you?!

Caleb: Then it will be no ones fault but mine.

Chara: What?!

Caleb: If I tell you what's wrong, then you'll only blame yourself.

Chara: And why would I do that?!

I could tell Chara is getting angry by the second.

Caleb: Because you care about me!

Chara: H-Huh?!

Caleb: It's because if I tell someone, weather they care or not, they'll blame themselves! Unless they're not a good person...

Chara: You think that makes this any better?

Caleb: Well, I'm stopping you from feeling guilt, so--

Chara: No! You're not! Because I already know there's something wrong! Even the Sans' know! More than me! Don't I deserve to know?! Do...! Do you not trust me...?

I looked at her shocked for a moment. I calm myself down, and think about what I'm doing.

Caleb: Okay, I'm sorry. I was being unreasonable... Apology hug?

Chara: Apology hug.

We both try reaching over the counter to hug, but that doesn't end well.

Caleb: Maybe we should...
