+ this, confiding in a neighbor could be awkward. So you went with the new person.

( It's not a complaint, far from that, just an observation. They're more than happy to not get "Queen Toriel" vibes from this one. )

No, I agree. I may not have kids or anything, but I felt largely responsible for making sure a lot of people stayed safe.

It... took a lot for me to feel like I could close out that chapter.

As far as your last statement goes, you probably just needed to get this all out; but, small place like +

Oh, no. I've accepted where I am, I just have to endure it. Suppose it doesn't make me happy but, sometimes you have to live with the consequences of your actions.

...As far as you go, though, I have a feeling Kris will turn out okay. Call it a hunch.

That's good; well, mostly. Wish things were better for you, hopefully it all... works itself out, eventually.

I'm in a similar scenario, if it helps. My family all seem to be happy, and that makes me feel better.

( Though given just who they're talking to, that made it harder to admit. )

♡ Sorry if any of this is really unclear; trying not to dump ALL info, but also not be as vague as things were before. xoxo

♡ For the sake of visual identity (and also just liking the design), Storyshift Chara is used to depict DR Chara. They're still enby, just born female [and really only stated this way due to the art, honestly].

♡ Once the Player is away from the world of Undertale, moved on to Kris' story, they ultimately follow as a sort of "redemption" for themselves for what they've had to see them do.

♡ The generalized idea is that Chara was pulled through the different acts of a merciless player, after giving in to them in UT's Genocide ending, and ultimately broke out of their control.

♡ This is symbolized by the world of Undertale 'breaking,' changing things slowly, and later, extremely.

♡ This is a personal take of Chara, inspired and driven by lore in fangames.
♡ It is not a dedicated AU of its own, they are not Kris, etc.
♡ While lewd will not happen here, the character is treated as college age to match DR Asriel.

How, um-

( ...This is really hard for them, all things considered. Don't mind the awkward swallow as they try to talk. )

How do you... feel? Like, uh-. Well, just in general, really.

( The question wasn't meant to be so loaded, it was just hard to think up something. )

【 Their stare back is clear; trying to identify who, what, the presumed-silhouette is meant to be. 】

* So, do you at least talk? Or are we meant to avoid that, here? You certainly have the... supposedly-intimidating presence down.

*Honestly, you'd be surprised how weird it is to see you.

*Not for any bad reason; just used to Sans-es being less, passive.

( It's... one big allusion to less polite variations of the skeleton. )
