Darkness.

I felt darkness when I was out.

I could see nothing, but I heard quite a lot.

"*! Y/N!! Y/N!!!" Came a voice that was Sans's.

"Wake up kid! You gotta wake up!" His voice got more and more shaky as time went on.

"Look, I'm * sorry that I used my attack on you, but," I then heard sobbing. "You're the only thing that I even have left."

"Papyrus, is gone. He died from the human, like you said, but I didn't believe you." I heard the sobbing stopping.

"All I have is his scarf, but you," 

"I have all of you." I haven't been near Sans at all, but I could already tell that he cares for me. That's an obvious. My crappy family could care less.

"Look, I have no idea if I'm chatting with the dead or not, in which, I don't * care, but at this point, the kid has gone to a place called Waterfall. I think they killed everyone there, including a monster called Undyne." Undyne might be someone important... I wish I could have met them.

"I wouldn't * know, because I'm stuck here with you!" It seems like Sans has seen everyone die before... He knows that Frisk is in a place called Waterfall, and that he doesn't know because something new turned up, and that was me.

"I tended your wounds and everything the best I could," I like that he did this for me.

"But I could never do anything as good as Boss. P-Papyrus, I mean." His bro is his boss?

"*, If you were any other human, I would have killed you on the spot,"

"But since that genocidal freak is on the run,"

"I didn't think it was worth killing you." This place must be terrible for a person's instinct is to kill humans.

"From what you said, that all you saw was dust..." Correct.

"I'm guessing that you have no idea what a 'soul' is, do you?" Yes, what is a soul?

"Well I guess I gotta * teach ya." Sans might have a crappy background like me to be cussing all the time.

"So, there's many soul types; There is Kindness, Perseverance, Integrity, Bravery, Justice, Patience," So that's six different types.

"And the kid's, which is Determination." That's the seventh. Seems like Determination is powerful and scary, for someone like a kid to go killing everyone they see.

"Yours,"

"Yours is the most * dull a soul could possibly be." That's probably because I have a crappy family.

"*, I have no idea what soul type you are." Wait, it's that dull that you can't see color in it anymore? My parents must have been beyond terrible for it to be dull and lacking color.

"That's probably because of your 'crappy life.'" He's right.

"Well..."

"I guess I can relate." I could already tell.

"My bro, he,"

"He abuses me." He ABUSES HIM?! No wonder he cusses a lot. I think it's his brother that is making him do all these terrible things, and he doesn't want to... Deep in his soul I know... No one wants to kill. It's not natural. Sure, for food, but for just the sake of doing it, is a whole other level.

"*, He's the reason I have my gold tooth." I did wonder about his gold tooth.

"One day, when I was out at my stand," That hotdog stand of his... I still don't know what a hotdog is though.

"I fell asleep, like the * person I am." He had to fall asleep for a reason.

"Papyrus saw me slacking off, and he decided to wake me up by smashing me against a tree." Okay. That is really harsh. My parents won't even go that far. They might smack me a lot, but...

GETTING SMACKED AGAINST A TREE?!!

"The impact made me get several long cracks on my skull, and I lost a tooth." So then he had to replace it with a golden one.

"Now, I was used to the constant torture, as sad as that may sound," I'm used to constant demanding and slavelike manners.

"But never has he done something like that." Maybe his brother might have a little good in him. He certainly changed, but he might change back, but with a whole lot of work and love.

"I was dizzy for 4 days," Concussion, I think, is what it is called.

"I was constantly hurting in my jaw," All I know, is that it doesn't sound good.

"And through all of that,"

"I had wanted to run away." I don't blame you. That's what I did.

"To where?" Maybe a friend's house? If you have one, at least...

"I didn't think about it at the time, just somewhere away from B...Papyrus, I mean." Gez. He must be used to saying Boss a lot for it to be familiar to say.

"I was glad I didn't." He's here. Taking care of me.

"The first time that the human came around, was when I thought about running away." The timeline.

"I met up with them. Talked a bit. Helped them out. They were doing the pacifist route." Oh, so no killing. That's good.

"I had stopped sleeping at my station by this point; in fear of getting my head knocked in because of Papyrus." This is not going to end up good...

"I instead stayed wide awake, and I probably stayed up 5 days straight before I blacked out one day, while walking home from setting up traps with Papyrus for the human." 5 DAYS STRAIGHT?! I don't think that's healthy for him!

"Boy, was he pissed that I slept while walking." Couldn't Papyrus tell that he wasn't sleeping?

"I didn't care at the time." He's just given up. I know that feeling.

"He shouted at me for being a lazybones," When he's not.

"He shouted at me for being a slacker," When he's not.

"He shouted at me for being a(n) *" Which he's not.

"He didn't care whatsoever," I care about him!

"Or even noticed that I had bags under my eyes," Even an idiot will know that he's not feeling well.

"Or that I have been running on coffee." So that's how he was awake all this time.

"He doesn't * care." I  c a r e  a b o u t  h i m...

"That's when I started cutting myself." I can relate to him. I never did that though.

"It didn't do much, but it certainly helped with my anxiety." I can be there to help him through this.

"With the timelines and resets happening," Resets?

"The cuts would disappear, and I would go out of my way to keep cutting myself with a knife that I randomly had at my station for hotdogs." He doesn't know that it's only hurting him in the long run... I can help.

"Soon, though,"

"I realized that everything would just reset,"

"And Papyrus never caught me if I was sleeping or not." Would his sleeping schedule go back to order?

"My insomnia was still there, in some nightmares," Good, some nightmares.

"But my sleeping schedule was, better." At least he isn't staying up 5 days straight anymore.

"Then came the genocidal times." Oh no... He'll get another reason to not sleep.

"The kid would start killing everybody,"

"And by then I had gotten some serious deja vu." Is this when he realizes that the genocidal path will reset too.

"I developed a fear of the timelines," I would be scared too.

"Because they would kill everybody I cared about," I hope that is many... I want him to be good inside, not dark.

"loved, considered family, tolerated, even." 

"But when I saw Papyrus die..." 

"Something changed inside of me." 

"Something wanted me to avenge my brother's death,"

"And I didn't fear him anymore." No more nightmares from his abusing...

"My nightmares would be of him dying instead of him abusing me." THAT'S JUST EVEN WORSE!

"In which, my insomnia started up again." You can never get a break, can you?

"It never * stopped really." I hope he'll be alright in the long run.

"It just went from one thing to the next," Abusing, timelines, killing.

"And to be honest,"

"I think the next thing would be me killing you." Oh... I don't want to be the cause of his insomnia.

"Well... Enough of everything being all sappy. I, I'm just not used to all of this backstory talk." No! I want him to open up more!

STAY!

STAY!

STAY!

STAY!

"What was that?" He heard!

STAY!

"Stay? You... Sweetheart! Wake up! Please! I can't take seeing you on the couch like this! WAKE UP!! WAKe up!..." I heard sobbing. He's crying because of me.

"Please..."

"Wake up..."

I felt something pulling me towards Sans's shaky voice. I didn't know what, but I was glad. The more I neared the sobbing, the more I felt pain, but I also saw more, and felt more. I could also hear more.

"Sweetheart....." I felt Sans wrap his arms around me. I also felt the tears raining down on my cheeks. I also felt the pain in my chest, but Sans was careful enough to not set pressure on it.

"Please..."

"W a k e  u p . . ."
