A drop here, a drop there (a one-shots/snippet book)

Undertale Time Loops Part 1 (Undertale/Multi)

(A/N) Seriously, something is weird. This book, somehow, had 20 views when I only posted two one-shots, where the first had like 4 and the second had 2 views. And now the book still has 20 views, while when I count the views in the chapters they have like, 13 views in all. Are people even reading this? Do those views even exist? Or are they illusions created from a bug in the website?

... what is this, an existential crises but with views on a website? 😅 Might as well wonder whether other people actually exist and I'm not just a brain floating in some device having an elaborate dream.

Confusion

Loop 3

"I'll keep an eyesocket out for ya." Sans said, and with a wink, he started walking ahead.

Snow crunched beneath the pink slippers he was wearing as he walked. It was getting his socks wet, but since he doesn't have skin it didn't really bother him much. The skeleton stopped and stared at the sky with a sigh, nonexistent brows slightly furrowed in thought. He had noticed something...weird with the human. It's not anything obviously noticeable, they were acting normally.

Unless you're Sans and remembered the last three resets.

Two resets ago, he had woken up in his bed with the memories of the previous in his head. It was what he dubbed a "Pacifist run", where the fallen human, Frisk, killed not a single monster and the inhabitants of the Underground were freed. He was waiting at the bottom of the mountain for the others, having teleported there after going back through the entrance they just got out of, when a disorienting feeling came upon him and the world disappeared.

After regaining consciousness, he was at his bed in Snowdin and Papyrus was pounding on his door to wake him up.

To say he was shocked and confused was an understatement. While he knew the existence of different timelines and Frisk's time travelling powers, along with knowing that the human can choose to kill or not kill depending on their fancy, he never actually remembered any of them. Like everyone close to the fallen child, all he got was a feeling of deja vu.

But suddenly, he started remembering for some reason. And with that, he began to notice the human's odd behavior.

He first noticed it on the second time he woke up with memories of previous timelines. Frisk seemed to do exactly the same actions, and choose exactly the same choices from the previous run. Sans can't be too sure yet, so for now, on his third awakening, he decided to take extra care in watching the human and committing their actions, expressions, and body language to memory.

Sans sighed. He should get going, he'll be meeting the human a second time this run, only with his brother this time. Grinning slightly, Sans shook his head at the thought of the "that's a rock" conversation. His brother always had a bit of a bad eye sight.

With a thought, the monster was there one second and suddenly gone the next.

Loop 4

Sharp rocks dug into his bones behind him, but he payed it no mind and remained motionless against the wall. He sat in a cave connecting the entrances between the Surface and the Underground, and the only sourse of light was unable to reach where he was. As murmuring came from outside while the others had their conversations, Sans thought.

He had compared his observations from the last run to the current one, and true to his suspicions, it was a 100% match. Frisk displayed no signs of remembering the previous runs where they did the exact same actions. There was no boredom, no curiosity of what will happen if they chose differently, no heightening of battle skills (or rather, dodging skills), and no difference on how they react to situations and dialogue. They bought the same items, made the same expressions, took the same damage, encountered the same monsters at the same areas and the same order–
