Frisk smiled contently as Toriel tucked them into bed. /Love you, Mom/ the selectively mute eleven year old signed.

Toriel kissed their forehead. "I love you too, my child. Sleep well."

Frisk closed their eyes as the lights flicked off. Ten minutes later, they gave up on trying to sleep and decided to count sheep in hopes in would make them more tired. Call on your inner Sans, they thought to themselves, giggling.

Somehow, counting sheep turned into counting their blessings. I'm glad we're on the surface. I'm glad I live with Toriel. I'm glad I saved everyone. I'm glad Sans doesn't hate me for all the RESETS. I'm glad I overpowered Chara.

Oh, really? tittered a tiny voice that Frisk knew well.

Get out of my head, Chara, they thought at the demon. I won't let you RESET this!

But it's so much fun, Chara laughed gleefully. Since when were you the one in control, Frisk?

The child blinked, and suddenly they were back in the void, a place they knew well from Chara's constant RESETs.

"No!" Frisk shouted-here in the void, they had no qualms about talking. "You won't take over me again, Chara!"

The figure of the Fallen Child turned towards them. "Silly little Frisk," they giggled. "You cannot stop me. Your SOUL is mine."

Frisk gasped as their SOUL was forcefully yanked out of their chest. Their hands scrabbled at it, trying to push it back, but Chara's outstretched hand was slowly dragging them towards the demon.

Frisk planted their feet. "I won't!" they yelled.

"It is not your decision," Chara reprimanded, closing their fingers into a fist and pulling it back. Frisk was thrown forward and stumbled to their knees as their SOUL came to rest in front of Chara.

"We will destroy them all," Chara gloated as the two options appeared behind her. "Annihilate them in a glorious genocide."

"You can't!" Frisk screamed, tears bursting to life as they struggled against Chara's grasp on their SOUL.

"I can," Chara corrected, turning around to assess her choices.

*RESET

*DO NOT

Frisk lunged forward, but Chara swatted her to the side without a second glance. The saviour of the monsters landed in a heap in front of the DO NOT button.

Their eyes widened, both Chara's and Frisk's. Frisk surged upwards and slammed their entire self on the DO NOT option just as Chara pounded the shared SOUL against RESET.

The void was obliterated by a shower of white glitches.
