Do You Get It?

Splitting Ways

Before I turn the knob on the door Ink decides to speak up. "Error, do you want me to go with you?" He asks hesitantly. He knows that my emotions are already starting to grow and wonders if I will need his help. I shake my head. "I don't want anyone to attack you. It's best if you and Sans head to the True Lab to see the machine." I say, still facing the door.

Plus adding noise and forced conversations to Ink's plate will make the pain worse. "Just make sure you avoid talking to him about the resets. Or the fact that you are actually Error." Sans says as a last minute reminder. I nod and walk out the door. It's time for me to go and get some answers. I can't have Sans try to mother me the entire way over.

I walk down the stairs and out the door. The sun has yet to rise upon this new day, but I can almost feel it coming. Like a warm reminder that even if I can't remember having any family, I know that I did.

The snow is still fresh from last night's shower. My feet push through the terrain. I keep my head on a swivel. It's best to always know if someone is going to try to approach you. I pay attention to the growing number of lights on in the windows of homes. All I need is to keep on going.

I know the way from every time I have had to destroy an AU. But I haven't ever had to go as far as the Core. Only because once you blow that up, it leaves enough code for me to just delete.

I mentally trace my path. So I have to make it to the end of Snowdin, shortcut to the Core, and make it the rest of the way to the Judgement Hall. I only have to walk the last part because I haven't been there before.

I sigh and reach my hand in my pocket for my chocolate bar. But as soon as I pull it out I hear a door open to a house behind me.

I try to be fast, but quiet. I hope I pass off as someone who is late and not someone who is escaping the scene of a crime. Before I know it I am at the edge of Snowdin and out of breath. I lean up against a tree and mentally reprehend myself. I can't believe I wasted all that energy to just avoid some random civilian. I run uninjured hand over my face. Only I would go this far to avoid social interaction. But then again I have never had good experience with it in the first place.

I try not to think about what could happen if we don't switch back. How I would have to partake in the antics of the other side. I would have to create. And that terrifies me. Having to create an AU, create life forms that are copies of copies. My head throbs and for a second a shadow of the familiar pain starts to grow.

I take a deep breath as I hastily open the chocolate bar. There is no time to think like this. The dark coca gives the chocolate a bite I enjoy. The bitter energy calms me down and gives me some motivation to move on. I need to get to Asgore, the sooner I do, the sooner we can fix this whole mess.

I hope.

Oh God, do I hope.
