We glanced at Chara, and with a nod, followed after Toriel. We looked at Toriel who also looked stunned, but cleared her throat, quicker to recover from the absurd nature of monsters 'Well, this way, my child.' She said as she continued down the path. 'Uh, the dummy grew uncomfortable by your staring and promptly evacuated the area.' Chara attempted to narrate the situation, obviously as stunned as we were. We continued to stare in stunned silence, trying to process what just happened. We stared at the dummy, considering Chara's approach.īefore we could get a word in, the dummy suddenly floated away, as if growing tired of the awkward situation. 'Perhaps listen to what Toriel said.' Chara suggested. We and the dummy stared at each other, as if waiting for the other to make a move. We felt a tug at our chest as our SOUL appeared before us. Sighing deeply we awkwardly approached the training dummy. We met eyes with our partner, who nodded. We certainly couldn’t repeat the actions we took in the other timelines. Usually we’d just smack the dummy and carry on. We stared at the dummy, contemplating our next move. Stall for time, and I will come to resolve the conflict.'

Even if she did not know it, her words opened memories of this place across the multiple timelines we traveled.

Our face gave off an uneasy smile at Toriel’s words. 'Allow me to educate you in the operation of the Ruins.' She said as the goat monster proceeded to solve the puzzle for us. 'Welcome to your new home, innocent one.' Toriel began as she walked up to the first puzzle.
