"WH-WH-WHAT?" Frisk shrieked.

They jumped back. "S-so am I stu-u-uck like this forever?"

Fear overwhelmed them. They didn't want to be stuck like this foverer. They wanted to go home with their friends.

Toriel.

Sans.

Papyrus.

Undyne.

Alphys.

Mettaton.

Asgore.

Were they okay? They hoped so. Surely if Glitch was still back there, she wouldn't hurt anyone...

...would she...?

"Hopefully, no... I'm sure once we get you back home and get you back in control of the timeline you'll turn back to normal."

"Bu-u-ut what if we-e do-on't? I don't want to be like this..."

"Frisk, calm down. Everything will be fine." Anti insisted. "Just... stay determined, okay? I know to you that sounds a little cliche, but trust me! I know we can do this. We just have to stay strong."

"B-b-but-"

"No buts, Frisk."

They gave a quiet sigh. This isn't what they wanted. They wanted to be home.

"I-I-I miss my friends."

"I know Frisk, I know. Don't worry. We'll get you back to them soon, I promise."

"Bu-ut how long IS soon? The-ere isn't any time here."

"Looks like you caught on."

"It wasn't tha-a-at hard."

"Hah."

Anti dismissed the thought with a wave of her hand-paw. "...but I need to work if we're to even get out of this place. Just....keep watch, I guess. Make sure no one else comes. And if they do, alert me."

"O-o-on it."

Frisk walked off to stand guard.

Anti leaned back over her coding.

"But how did Glitch even escape? I can't figure out the right codes..." she muttered.
