Flowey: sniff
sniff
Someone…
please… come…
Asgore: Oh…?
⸻
<<3Page>>
Asgore: Curious.
I've never seen a plant...
Cry before.
You are…?
Flowey: Dad.
It’s me.
I’m… Asriel, Dad.
I don’t know
what’s happened.
My body won’t move at all!
Help me…
I’m scared…
⸻
<<4Page>>
Flowey: Father dug me up with a shovel and replanted me in a flowerpot when I couldn’t move.
Only then, when I looked into a mirror, I froze—
I had become a flower.
Gradually I learned
how to move this body…
but one thing worried me.
Seeing how the town and the atmosphere had changed,
I realized a long time had passed
before I woke up.
When I returned home,
Father was living alone.
He had become completely unmoved.
He tried to help me, but nothing worked.
I couldn’t stand it—
I left the house.
⸻
<<6Page>>
Flowey:
Mother hugged me
the same way Father did.
Even though I’d loved her so much,
for some reason her embrace didn’t make me happy.
She kept seeing us in the fallen humans,
losing that again, and falling into despair—
a pitiful mother.
I was disappointed.
I thought
if it was Mother,
she would save me.
But I couldn’t feel love—
it was… empty.
…love.
⸻
<<7Page>>
Flowey: How many years
have passed since then?
Since I failed to die with you—
how many years has it been?
⸻
<<8Page>>
Asriel: Why are you still alive?
Even after becoming like this—
in a world without Chara.
⸻
<<9Page>>
Flowey: There’s no point in being alive.
…If so—
I should do what Chara did and end my life.
And I learned about the power I had…
a power called Determination.
But that failed.
I tried to erase myself from this world…
⸻
<<10Page>>
Flowey: Over and over
and over
and over—
If I had Determination,
I could start over.
⸻
<<11Page>>
Flowey: With the power I had,
I did everything I could.
I tried every test I could run,
I actually carried them out.
Over and over,
the same stretch of time repeated.
It drove me insane.
Why must I be the one
to go through this?
I was supposed to be the prince
who would carry the future of the Underground!
⸻
<<12Page>>
Flowey: If I hadn’t gone along with that plan,
I would be king by now.
Father would be there,
Mother would be there—
that one wouldn’t be.
⸻
<<13Page>>
Flowey: I felt terribly sick.
⸻
<<14Page>>
Flowey: I hate them.
But even more than that—
⸻
<<16Page>>
Flowey: Give it back.
That is
my
body!
⸻
<<17Page>>
Asriel: gah
⸻
<<18Page>>
Chara: Asriel.
Flowey: Long time no see, Chara!
Chara: Who are you?
And who’s behind you?
⸻
<<19Page>>
Chara: gah
⸻
<<20Page>>
Flowey: Hahahahahahahahaha—
hahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahaha
Ah, what a relief!
Because…
I can redo it…
Everything except that time.
⸻
<<21Page>>
Human: Kyaaaaaaa!
A child’s been killed by a Monster!
⸻
<<22Page>>
Chara: “You don’t want to kill”?
What nonsense are you spouting now?
We’ve come all this way, haven’t we?
Why do you think
I brought my own corpse with me?
It’s to gather the humans
and slaughter them all at once.
I told you before, didn’t I?
Just leave it to me…
everything will go perfectly.
Asriel: But…
you look just like Chara…
Chara: Don’t make me laugh.
BANG! (gunshot)
⸻
<<23Page>>
Asriel: Ah…
Glorp…
<<24Page>>
Chara: What… what is this?
It hurts…
Blood…?
No, that’s not right…
It won’t stop…
Uuuuuhhhh…
⸻
<<25Page>>
A Monster’s body is made of magic,
but a human’s main component
is water.
Chara: And Monsters—
when they die, they scatter into dust, right?
Humans, though,
are made of blood, bone, and flesh.
And when they die,
their bodies slowly rot
and return to the earth.
Asriel: I can’t imagine that—
that a body could be made
of so many things.
Chara: It’s an inconvenient form.
When hurt, it doesn’t heal quickly,
and if too much blood is lost,
it dies.
Asriel: But maybe that’s why
humans are strong, right?
That’s fine by me—
I’m just a lump of magic.
Asriel: The damage to your body
and your energy…
don’t always match up, huh?
What does that feel like…?
⸻
<<26Page>>
Asriel: Huh?
What…
Chara: This is blood.
I’ll show you—just this once.
Asriel: No—
I don’t get it!
I’ve never even seen
this “blood” before.
I don’t know what it is,
but please—
Don’t hurt yourself…
⸻
<<27Page>>
Chara: It’s spilling out…
Asriel’s insides…
At this rate,
you’ll die.
Weren’t you supposed to become
the strongest being?
If you’d merged your SOULs—
Ah… the magic’s leaking out.
Asriel!
Kill them!
Kill all those humans!!
Asriel: Noooooo!!
⸻

Three shotgun blasts — DAHN!
<<33Page>>
Flowey: It would’ve been nice
if the story had ended there.
⸻
<<34Page>>
Flowey: I can’t help but think
this is already the epilogue.
I’ve killed everyone.
I’ve befriended everyone.
But whenever I return
to a SAVE point,
everything goes back
to how it was.
I’ve done so many things—
enough to call myself
a professional time-killer.
So now,
I dream.
⸻
<<35Page>>
Flowey: Even lucid dreaming
comes easily.
I’ve had
plenty of time.
⸻
<<36Page>>
Asriel: Ahaha…
hahahah!
I have hands—
and feet!
Magic flows
through my whole body!
Heh… isn’t it wonderful?
Since it’s such
a good dream,
let’s think about it more.
If…
if I could have grown up
together with that one—
what would you
have looked like?
Would you be tall—
as tall as those adult humans
I saw once?
Your face…
what kind of face
did you have, Chara…
⸻
<<37Page>>
Chara: Asriel.
⸻
<<38Page>>
Chara: You’ve grown up,
and yet you’re still
wearing that same shirt?
You’ve got no sense at all.
Asriel: Wait—hey,
I do know about fashion!
I mean… uh…
Chara: Hmph…
a safe choice.
Not bad, though.
⸻
<<39Page>>
Chara: Oh…?
You’ve grown up
to look just like Mom…
quite the handsome one, aren’t you?
But I like it better
when your eyes look like Dad’s.
Asriel: Chara—
There’s so much
I want to tell you…
⸻
<<40Page>>
Asriel: That house—
it actually has a forbidden book inside.
And under that stone
in the alley over there…
Chara: Impressive, Asriel.
You know this city
inside and out.
Asriel: Yeah.
I know everything now.
In this Underground,
there’s nothing
I don’t know anymore…
Except for you.
⸻
<<41Page>>
Asriel: My one and only wish—
the wish that can never
come true again.
A wish
I’ll never
be able to know.
⸻
<<42Page>>
Asriel: You alone
would have been enough.
I never wanted
anything else.
And yet,
that one thing
slipped through my fingers.
⸻
<<43Page>>
Asriel: In the end,
it’s only a dream.
Dreams always
end someday.
But if I could dream
a dream that never ends—
one I could never wake from—
that’d be fine, too.
Chara: Asriel.
…What is it
that you wish for?
⸻
<<44Page>>
Asriel: Let’s destroy
both the Monsters
and the Humans!
This time,
we’ll do it
just like you wanted!
In the end,
this world is nothing but
kill or be killed!
Then we’ll live together
on the surface.
Just the two of us…
⸻
<<49Page>>
Asriel: That’s right—
Your face…
I finally
remembered it.
⸻
<<51Page>>
Flowey: I wonder
how Frisk is doing.
Did everyone
end up happy?
And Father and Mother…
on the surface…
