User smiled as she walked into her home that she had with Fell, a smile on her lips. They hardly went there, the two living in the massive Sans house, but they had came to have some time alone away from everyone. "Fell! I'm home!" She called, smiling weakly as she gazed around only to be met with silence. Strange..

The part skeleton shrugged it off, walking into the living room and throwing her hat, scarf and gloves on the surprisingly empty sofa. No Fell..? He must be upstairs in their bedroom then..

She made her way up the stairs, hating how every other step creeked and groaned under her. The house was rather old, so that explains it.. she wasn't that overweight, was she? She walked over to their bedroom door, knocking lightly.

Silence was all that met her..

User sighed gently, rolling her eyes. "You might be in a grumpy mood, bit that doesn't mean you have to take it out on me Fell!" No reply.. "I'm coming in, are you decent?" Only silence.. "Fell..? Sans..?" Pure silence, apart from the grandfather clock ticking downstairs. She walked inside...

Only to see Fell on the ground, grasping his close to shattering soul as tears rolled down his face. His soul wasn't beating like it usually did, its beat slowed like a humans would when losing blood..

The half skeleton ran over, pulling Fell into her lap quickly. She surrounded his soul in green healing magic, trying desperately to stop it from shattering. "I need to take you to Sci.." she murmurs, the skeleton not even letting out a sound. She didn't have much time to get him to the scientist..

User sat at Fell's side from the hospital bed, strange devices connected to the skeleton all over and about six inside his soul. His soul beat was hardly beating. Hardly beating, but still beating...

Her gaze cast up to Sci, said skeleton sighed quietly. "His.. souls in poor quality.. he won't survive without these machines.." the skeleton muttered, User biting her lip and about to cry harder. "However," He continued, making User pick her head up, "he can survive but... well, we need to connected his soul with another fully functioning soul. A soul with some monster in it, yet determined to stay alive.. won't deform his body, since his soul will adapt quickly and accept the determination since all Sans' have some DT in them... who would be a good donor.." The skeleton muttered, murmuring under his breath as he tried to think.

User thought to herself, gazing between Sci and Fell before focusing on Sci. "I... think I may know someone who will be best for the job..."

Fell's eyelights weakly opened, not being able to make out many things. Light.. he cooks see light above him.. His head flicked around him, noticing only one familiar face. Chara... ..Chara..? Where was User..? Was User ill? "How are you feeling..?" Chare murmurs softly, tilting her head to the side. She had a gentle tone, not one that she usually used.

"Better I guess.." Fell grumbled, weakly sitting up with the help of Chara, pillows on his back to support him. "What happened..? Last time I remember I was... in my room.. and User was gone.." he murmurs, weakly blinking to focus on the new figure entering the room.

"The surgery was a success. Everything has worked out according to plan." Sci muttered, adjusting his glasses as Becca walked in behind him. "I presume Fell is awake..?"

"Yeah, woke a few seconds ago.." Chara murmurs softly, biting her lip gently at the sight of Becca. She gazed away quickly, closing her eyes.

"I'm confused... what surgery.." Fell grumbles, eyes narrowed weakling in confusion. "Where's User..?"

"Well.. your was fucked basically.." Becca muttered, sitting next to Fell. "Like, worse than mine. You were dying. You're lucky User was there so fast, or you would've died. You needed to have a soul connected to yours so you could live. As for User.." She sighed quietly, wiping tears from her eyes lightly. "Who do you think would donate their soul so that you can live..?"
