Chapter Three: The Pie

~Your POV~

I stared at her in blank confusion, what did she mean by that? I know it's been a while but she knew him longer than me and she remembered me... so I don't get it.

"Y'know, W.D Gaster. The old royal scientist?" I pried, trying to jog her memory. I was completely bewildered since they seemed to have been good friends. Why would she forget? Sans translated for me quickly, damn I wish I could speak normally.

She just stared at me with a very confused expression, like she too was trying to figure out why she had forgotten. I looked to Sans and he had a grim look on his face. He quickly returned to his normal smile when he caught my eye, clearly faking.

"Well, um..." I awkwardly said, drumming my fingers on the table. "I'll be right back." I excused myself. I somewhat quickly walked to the end of the hallway where all of the bedrooms were kept. I needed a moment to wrap my head around all these new things. This was all too much...

I felt some tears well up in my eyes, the stress and anxiety of the situation was starting to get to me. I looked up into the mirror that Toriel surprisingly still had up. All of my movements froze when I caught sight of my face...

Was that even my face? It had to be... mirrors don't lie. I put a hand up to trace the crack running from one of my eyes down to my chin. I looked a lot like Gaster, except I wasn't a skeleton, although I was definitely skinny enough to be. My eyes were the creepiest part, they were pure empty darkness. They reminded me of the VOID... the thought of the VOID made me absolutely terrified now.

I began to silently sob. Thick black tears ran down my face, making me look even more terrifying. I slid onto the ground, my face pressed into my knees as I sobbed.

"Hey... are you okay?" A gentle voice asked, making me only flinch a little. I looked up and saw the normal-looking human, the transparent one close behind them. I shook my head and I sobbed even harder, still trying to be quiet. They didn't even hesitate to sit next to me and wrap an arm around my shoulders in comfort. The feeling felt like an angel had just blessed me with eternal contentment... I couldn't help but lean into their touch, oh how much I missed physical contact.

"It's okay... everything's okay... You must be going through a lot right now. But you have to stay determined!" They encouraged, shaking me a little to hype me up. I chuckled and let out a small sniff, my nose already stuffy.

I stayed silent, but I appreciated the support. They were a total stranger but I already felt a sort of connection to them, maybe because we were both human?

The transparent woman muttered something to the comforting human, but their face stayed blank. The woman rolled her eyes and sat down next to the blank-faced human, she seemed to be annoyed that they were ignoring her. I wondered why everyone was ignoring her, or acting like she wasn't there.

"So... you knew Gaster?" They questioned, shifting into a more comfortable sitting position while still having their arm around me. I nodded simply, wiping away a few tears. I wish I could say something... there had to be a way of communicating.

"What was he like?" They asked further, seemingly wanting to know more about him. I wonder why they were so curious. I tried to say something, but it was indecipherable to anyone but me and Sans.

"Oh, so I guess you can't answer. Wait! I have an idea!" They exclaimed, pulling out a very fancy cellphone. It looked somewhat similar to the one Gaster used, but more modern and with a thinner design. "You can type out stuff!"

I shakily took the phone out of their outstretched hand, the notebook app was already open for my use. I typed, 'He was like a father to me.' It was true after all.
