prismaticbleed | UNDERTALE DAY 12 (Reply)

undertale take 12.

re-opening the game after the pacifist ending.

"hi.
seems as if everyone is perfectly happy.

monsters have returned to the surface.

peace and prosperity will rule across the land.

take a deep breath.

there's nothing left to worry about.

…"

what about you, love? are you going to be okay?

"well.

there is one thing.

one last threat.

one being with the power to erase EVERYTHING…

everything everyone's worked so hard for."

flowey dear,
asriel,
I thought
I thought you were afraid you'd lose your compassion when you turned back into a flower?

"…

you know who I'm talking about, don't you?"

yeah. me.

"that's right.

I'm talking about YOU.

YOU still have the power to reset everything.

toriel, sans, asgore, alphys, papyrus, undyne…

if you so choose…

everyone will be ripped from this timeline…

…and sent back before all of this ever happened.

nobody will remember anything.

you'll be able to do whatever you want."

oh god flowey you did this, there's no other way you would know,

this feels too much like reset attempts in headspace and it's shattering my heart,

"…

that power.

I know that power.

that's the power you were fighting to stop, wasn't it?

the power that I wanted to use.

but now, the idea of resetting everything…

i…

I don't think I could do it all again.

not after that."

me neither, buddy.

"…

so, please.

just let them go.

let frisk be happy."

and THERE'S the cincher.

"let frisk live their life.

…

but.

if I can't change your mind.

if you DO end up erasing everything…

…

you have to erase my memories, too."

oh NO WAY son, that's never happening.

"…

I'm sorry."

don't be, love.

"you've probably heard this a hundred times already, haven't you…?

…

well, that's all.

see you later…

JAY."

i'm

i'm smiling so much at that, i

I needed that.

thanks, flowey.

thank you, everyone.

I'll leave you be.

frisk, be happy, sweetheart. be as happy as you can possibly be.

all of you, be happy. chase your dreams, catch them. dream some more. never stop. be joyous.
you have the freedom you've always wanted. use it to the fullest. smile at that sun every day.

…I'll never forget any of you. I promise.

asriel, be happy.
whatever it takes for you. however you can.
be happy, love.
even if you can't "come back," all the people you love are happy,
and you played a huge part in it.

you changed me, asriel.
thank you.

the end.
