~Error's POV~

I frantically open a portal, dropping into the snow, the portal vanishing with a slorp noise. I slowly get to my feet, running around the snowy area, halting just before I leave the wooded area, finding Horror, slumped in front of a pile of dust. I slowly walk up to him before speaking to get his attention.

"Hey...Horror?" Horror jolts to life, stumbling away from me and summoning his axe.

"W-what happened t-to Papy?!!"

"I...Cross killed Classic Paps...and that removed the existence of every other Paps."

"W-where is Papy?!"

"He's...not alive anymore." Horror tears up, crumbling. I sit in front of Horror, stretching my hand to pet the skeleton. He lunges into my torso, holding me in a nearly suffocating hug. He whispers softly.

"please don't leave me too...please..." I nod, slowly standing.

"I won't."

I am humming, pulling ingredients for tacos, silently thanking Blue for teaching me how to cook. I flit my gaze to Horror, who is once again slowly sneaking over to the meat and trying to place monster dust in the meat. I smack his hand away, and he whimpers, glancing at me like a kicked puppy.

"H0rr0r, I'm n0t l3tting y0u plac3 m0nst3r dust in th3 tac0s."

"But, pap-"

"I kn0w y0u miss him, but f0r christs sak3, 3ating him will N0T mak3 y0u f33l b3tt3r." Horror slumps, his eyelight dimming in defeat.

"I know..." I sigh, leaving the food for a moment to hug Horror.

"It'll b3 0kay."

"Do you promise?"

"Y3s. I pr0mis3 things will mak3 m0r3 s3ns3 lat3r." Horror nods, leaving the hug and sitting on the couch. I sigh softly but continue working on the tacos, finishing them up.

I place the tacos on a plate, bringing them to Horror. He eats up like crazy, probably really hungry. He's alone now. Without Paps...a world without Papyrus...it's hell for most Sanses from what I can tell. I wouldn't know. I've spent so long in the anti-void and destroying AUs, I don't really remember my home. I sometimes get memories, but...why would an 3rr0r like me have an AU or a home before this existence?

Horror beams at me.

"It's really good! When did you learn to cook?" I shrug.

"It's b33n a whil3. I l3arn3d fr0m an 0ld fri3nd 0f min3."

"Who?"

"Blu3. I w0uld g0 ch3ck 0n him, but Str3tch...Wait, if Paps ar3 dying...that m3ans Str3tch is d3ad...I c0uld g0 say hi right n0w...n0." I smile at Horror.

"G0tta tak3 car3 0f y0u first, buddy." Horror beams.

"Thank you!"

I push Horror's head down as someone goes through the AU, dusting the inhabitants. I can hear them humming some sort of song. I open a portal, not noticing where, and shove Horror through. I then open a different AU portal, hoping to keep the weirdo from finding Horror and jump through.
