Asriel decided to get closer to it's cage despite knowing the risks. Ready for the onslaught of scratching he was surprised when it just stood there.

There he got a better look at it. It's body was covered in bandages, stitches, and bruises. There was also a flap on it's mask that wasn't there before, likely modified by Alphys so it could eat.

"What?" He grumbled at the beast, facing away from it, only to hear it scratch the cage, trying to get the flower's attention.

"Can't you see I just want to be alone?" Asriel shouted, his face morphing into a sinister expression causing Sub 4 to flinch, yet the beast remained calm.

"Determined aren't you? I can tell. Maybe we aren't so different after all." Asriel smirked now facing the Null. It tilted it's head.

"You don't have a name don't you?"

Asriel noticed something carved into it's helmet:

Subject: NULL-004

"Null huh?" Asriel pondered "How about I just call you Zero?"

Zero made a confused grunt.

"What's a name? It's what everyone refers to you as. It's better than being call Subject 4 isn't it, from what those Freaks were calling you."

Zero pondered before nodding now looking at Asriel expectantly.

"My name?"

Maybe he should just tell him his real name, yet Asriel didn't feel right. Then he got an idea.

"I'm Flowey. Flowey the Flower."
