*about an hour later*

*Petal has regained her memory by now, and is asleep in Echo's arms.

*Aster still hasn't come out.

Alphys: *talking into voice recorder thing* 6: 27. Aster still hasn't come out of his room. Everyone's worried. 

Dyllan: Maybe we should send someone to try and comfort him.

Flowey: I tried that 30 minutes ago. He wouldn't listen.

Carol: Well, we can't just sit here and let him suffer!

Oasis: Maybe.... Yes!

Xike: You've got an idea?

Oasis: Remember those times you nearly killed me?

Xike: *shudders* All too well.

Oasis: You know better than anyone what Aster's going through. Maybe he'll let you in?

Xike: I don't know-

Chara: It's worth a shot!

*Xike goes upstairs to Aster's room.*

Xike: ...Aster?

"...What?"

Xike: Look, I know how you feel. You wanna talk?

"..."

"Really"

Xike: Yeah.

*Aster opened the door with a vine. Xike walked in, shutting the door behind her.

*Aster sat on his bed. He looked like he had been crying.

*Xike jumped up, sitting just in front of Aster.

Aster: ... It's my fault.

Xike: No it's not. You didn't mean too.

Aster: ...

Xike: ... I know how it feels. I've nearly killed my own sister, and boy does it feel terrible...

Aster: ... ....

Xike: ... And, I'm sorry about the readers. You've only known them for two days now. They can be a bit overwhelming at times... but they're worried about you. We all are...

Aster: ...How's Petal?

Xike: Her memory's back, but she fell asleep.

Aster: Good...

*...

*Aster hugged Xike.

Aster: Thank you.

Xike: No problem...

Aster: ...You're so soft.

Xike: I get that a lot...Aster?

*Aster had fallen asleep hugging Xike

Xike: *smiles, and lays down.*

*Flowey comes in minutes later. He sees Aster with his head on Xike's side, and both are asleep.He smiles, and shuts the door quietly.
