(Frisk's p.o.v)

I walked out of the 'Dungeon' exhausted, hopefully I can get some sleep at the MTT.

"Jeez, that robot is really something else", I heard Chara mutter beside me.

"I know right", I said smiling. I love how dramatic Mettaton is!

"You alright...?" She asked looking at me.

"Sure" I said, "I'm glad to be out of Hotland, I don't think I've ever sweat as much as I did there!"

"I know it's so hot!" Chara said smiling.

"Ugh, and I probably smell like a high school locker room", I said scrunching my face.

Laughing, Chara asked, "Well did you put on deodorant before you fell in the underground?"

"I, uh, wow. That seems so long ago..."

I remember running up the mountain, tears rolling down my face, anxiety taking over me.

I shake my head trying to forget the memory.

"Eh, it doesn't matter. I'm sure there's got to be a bathroom somewhere in the MTT where you can go freshen up." Chara says shrugging.

"Yeah, hopefully."

I walked over to the Nicecream monster hoping to get a cold treat from him.

"Hey! It's you again! Business is excellent here! These two fellas bought ALL my ice cream! I've actually sold out of everything!!!...sorry." He said.

Slightly disappointed, I went to walk away.

"Wait! I've still got something for you! ...a big smile! How bout that!"

"Thanks anyway" I said walking off.

I walked past the royal guards that attacked me earlier.

"They look happy" Chara said quietly.

"Yeah, yeah they do", I thought. I wonder what it's like to have someone care about you like that?

I walked up the stairs to see a large, fancy hotel. I sighed in relief, thankful that I'd made it this far.

But then I saw him...

Sans was standing next to the large illuminated door. I froze wondering what he was doing here.

Was he here to hurt me? Kill me? Get revenge?

But why here of all places??

"heya kiddo, come here a minute."

My shaky legs brought me over to him as my heart started racing.

I don't want to die from his hands again!!

"i heard you're going you the core. how about grabbing some dinner with me first? i've got something i wanna talk to you about."

"U-uh, s-sure" I stuttered.

"great. over here, i know a shortcut." He said taking my hand as we walked down the alley.

Strangely, I felt a faint blush on my face as he held my hand, before I mentally shook myself. What am I doing feeling like this?

With a blink of an eye, we were both sitting across from each other in the restaurant of the MTT.

We were sitting at a table with a purple table cloth, candle in the middle, and set ready to eat. There was music playing in the background, which I quickly grew to love.

"well, here we are. so. your journey's almost over, huh?"

I sat there in silence afraid to speak, or even move. Why would he want to talk to me?! Is he going to get mad? Is he going to threaten me? Is he going to tell me I'm the scum of the world, even though I already know.

"kid, i...i just want to say..."

I looked down at the ground, I couldn't bear to look in his eyes as he spoke.

"i-i'm sorry."

I looked up in shock. "W-what for?! What on Earth do you have to be sorry about?!"

"i'm sorry for hurting you. back in waterfall, i'm so so sorry for that."

"Sans-"

"and i'm sorry for avoiding you, for hating you, when you really didn't deserve it."

"But I-"

"and i'm sorry for not being here for you while you're going this shitty time in life."

Tears filled my eyes, "You sho-"

"and i'm sorry for not for not forgiving you, because you don't deserve to feel all this guilt and hated. i-"

"JUST SHUT UP!!" I yelled, tears rolling down my face. "I deserve every bit of guilt I have! I deserve the hate every monster should feel for me! I deserve be alone and deal with what I've done."

"No you don't!" I heard Chara say.

Looking down, I continued to cry, "I deserve to be hurt over and over again for the things I've done."

"You don't! You don't deserve it!" I heard her yell again.

"I don't deserve forgiveness for what I've done. It's my fault, and my fault alone that things turned out the way they did."

"No! It's my fault! It's all my fault!" Chara yelled.

I looked back up at Sans, "I'm the one that should be sorry. I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry for all that I've done. I-"

Fear started to flood me again as I looked at Sans. He looked at me with hollowed sockets and, if I'm being honest, looked a little scared himself.

"Please Frisk, stop blaming yourself!" Chara said.

That was when I realised, he wasn't looking at me, he was looking beside me. Where Chara was.

"Wha.." I was confused, I thought I was the only one that could see Chara.

Chara looked at me, and then at Sans, and back to me. Sighing, she said, "Yeah, he...he can see me."

"But. What? How?"

"I can let anyone see or hear me. I just never chose to talk to anyone else."

I looked at Chara still confused. I rubbed my eyes with what was left of the sleeves of my sweater, and brushed away the tears as well.

I looked back at Sans, who looked much worse now, almost like he was living a nightmare. He was gripping the tablecloth tightly and had a bead of sweat running down his skull. 

"Sans? Sans are you alright?"

He just continued to stare at Chara.

"Sans, please stop. She can't do anything, she's just a spirit! Sans?!"

He looked back at me and blinked, bringing back his white pin prick eyes.

"Sans, this is Chara, she was the first fallen human."

"she killed my brother" hate practically dripped off each word he said.

I looked down, sad, "No, I did."

"no. i saw it happen. a human with bright ruby eyes killed my brother, and kid, maybe you need to look in the mirror lately, cause you've got brown eyes."

Sans sat back in his chair now, relief flooding his face. "it all makes sense now. you'd never would've hurt any monsters, but with the demonic kid possessing you, you had no choice."

"Sans that's not true", I said starting to feel worse, "I was never possessed. It was all my fault. I had full control of my actions."

"Well..." Chara said.

"It's not Chara's fault, and it's not anyone else's. It's all my fault, I don't deserve yours, our anyone's kindness."

"Stop saying that!" Chara snapped. "You can't live your life like this! You're being consumed by your guilt and hatred and it has to stop, before something bad happens."

I looked up at Chara, unable to believe her words.

"as much as i hate to say it, she's right you know." Sans said as he held my hand that was originally resting on the table.

"you can't keep blaming yourself. you have to move on. trust me, if you continue to let your mind control you, your going to get hurt. it'll be like you're living on the very edge of death, trying to convince yourself to live just another day. i don't want to see you become that. so many monsters care about you so much, they would do anything for you. so please, please take care of yourself, cause everyone really cares about you!"

"No, he's lying. No one cares about me. No one. Not one living soul." I told myself as I looked in Sans eyes.

He smiled at me, before letting go my hand. "Well, see ya kid." He said before teleporting away.

"Frisk? Are you okay?" Chara asked.

...I'm nothing but a murderer...I don't deserve to live...I don't deserve to be happy... they're all lies...no one actually cares about me..

"Y- yeah, I'm fine. Just tired." I lied.
