Exposure (Undertale | Sans/Original Female Character)

(Undertale | Sans/Original Female Character)

As it turned out, nothing was smooth sailing after they all went above ground. Problems were coming to them left and right - fear, politics, power, discrimination, and so on. They were met with opposition - too many to count - and with every step forward, they had to take five steps back, which wasn't ideal.

It was why, exactly fifty resets later - with each loop spanning longer and longer - Frisk and Sans decided that a do-over was in order. Not just to the point when they were released. No. But all the way back Underground. Back to when Frisk first came upon the Ruins.

Back to the beginning.

They didn't want to, but they were left with no choice. There really was no possible way out. So they went all the way back to the only place humans couldn't reach them to reconvene and plan their way out.

It should be easy. Despite having left the cycle for decades (centuries? dunno, they didn't really keep track), they'd gone through the motion so much that everything should be like clockwork - predictable and monotonous.

Yet, something unexpected happened.

There's another human in the Underground.

One they hadn't expected to see so soon.
