The next room is without puzzles, which makes you happy. But in the middle was a person wearing a purple robe with a hood. They're facing away from you, so you can't see their face. You approach them.

*Ask her to move?

[YES] [NO]

You pick yes and politely ask them to move out of your way. They turn around to reveal to be a goat-like monster.

"Oh, sorry my child... Wait. You are a human aren't you?" She asks. Her voice sounds nice! You nod your head.

"... I see. I'm sorry human, but our kingdom has suffered enough at the hands of the Humans," She says, bowing her head. The world goes black and white and you see your SOUL shinning in front of you.

*...

*Here comes Toriel

Green doesn't seem that enthusiastic anymore. You navigate over to the ACT menu. Maybe you should use CHECK..? There's also talk. You choose to CHECK.

*Toriel ATK 80 DEF 80

*Knows best for Monsterkind

Her attacks are fireballs. You try dodging, but one hits you for 3 points of damage. You tell Green that this doesn't feel like 80 ATK.

*I know

*Monsters can control their damage output

*She truly doesn't want to hurt you

*Try showing her that you are safe

Green's advice makes you want to talk. You tell her that you haven't hurt anyone.

*You tell TORIEL that you won't hurt anyone. She stares right past you

More fireballs, but in the same pattern. You dodge them all. You try talking again. You repeat yourself.

*You don't have anything to say

With sarcasm lacing your voice, you tell Green that he's wrong. You just want to try getting the message across. Toriel uses a new fireball pattern with a paw swinging across and fireballs coming out of it. You hit a flame and another 3 points of damage come off of you. You try talking again. Before you can say anything, Green cuts you off.

*Can you show mercy without fighting or running away..?

Toriel sends the paw attack back at you and you dodge everything. You brace yourself and press MERCY and SPARE her.

"..?" Toriel seems confused. You do the paw attack again. Then you offer your MERCY and SPARE her.

"Why..." You repeat the first attack again. You SPARE her once more.

"... Prove to me that you are good," A repeat of the paw attack.

*After thinking for a while... You know how to prove it!

*ACTing seems to be the right thing to do!

You nonverbally swear at Green and go to your ACT's. A new choice is there! You call Papyrus.

"HELLO HUMAN! IT IS I! THE GREAT PAPYRUS!" Papyrus said in his flamboyant way.

"Huh..?" Toriel seemed confused.

"OH! QUEEN TORIEL! DON'T WORRY! THIS HUMAN IS VERY GOOD! TRUST ME ON THIS!" Papyrus says. You could hear the smugness in his voice, the little invisible 'HA I FOUND A NICE HUMAN AND YOU CAN'T KILL THEM'.
