Chapter X

" I'm sorry to leave so suddenly and so cowardly"

" I did not find another way to apologize and say goodbye if not through this letter"

" I promised Undyne that I would protect all the monsters that survived from the human attack, but the promises are not always kept"

" I think that my death was always destined, but I have only delayed it because of several excuses that rolled through my mind"

" I hope I have done a good job"

" Although I doubt that, my mistakes, my insecurities, my secrets, that will be the only thing that all monsters will remember of me"

" I am a pathetic monster, am I not?"

" I have failed them all"

" Instead of moving on as many are, I am still engrossed in the past, wishing on several occasions to return in those few moments where I was happy, happy with my friends, happy with Undyne"

" I knew very well that they would never return"

" And I couldn't live anymore in a place that has fallen because of me"

" I'm so sorry"

" I know I will never be forgiven for my cowardice"

" But all I can do is apologize uselessly"

" And all I want now is to meet Undyne again"

"She will be upset, I know her pretty well"

" I really hope she forgives me too"

Alphys.

- ... - He keeps the letter in one of his pockets. - You should not apologize, you were not the only one to blame for what happened underground. - Close their basins and "sigh" heavily. - You are right, promises should not always be kept. - Again she felt guilty accepting the promise of the old queen. - Bye, Alphys.

…

- Sans, do you know where the real scientist is? - Exclaimed "furious" the underground king.

- He went on vacation. - Said simply the eldest.

- Don't play Sans. - The king commented annoyingly. - What were we talking about a few moments ago?

- Died. - The oldest decided to end it all at once. - Satisfied? - For the first time, he spoke in a "bad way" to his precious brother.

- W-what ?! - His anger disappeared the instant he heard that news. - She too. - A lot of tears fell from their sockets that ran down their cheekbones. - W-why?

- Because she wanted it that way. - Respond directly.

- Did she ...? - Look down. - I can't believe it ... she was so determined to help the kingdom, so willing to do everything possible to fix things. - His hands rest on his skull, trying to hide his tears. - First King Asgore, then Undyne, and now Alphys ... - When thinking of all those monsters that were important to him, he thinks of others that he had not remembered. - The queen and Mettaton are also gone? - Observes the minor while keeping his hands on his face.

"..." Remain silent.

- Sans!

- yeah - He wanted to skip answering that question, but by "king's command" he was forced to answer.

- Why did you lie to me, Sans? - I questioned the major.

- I didn't want you to be sad. - Respond honestly.

- Who was? - His hands were no longer touching his skull. - Was it the human?

- Yes, it was him.

- For that reason Undyne did not answer my messages, neither did the human. - Fix your eyes on the ceiling. - Now everything is clear. - He was talking to himself. - Why did the human lie to me saying he would follow the right path? Why didn't the human kill me too? - Several hurtful questions were heard. - Why did the human do this to us? - That last question was "said with a lot of pain".

- I really do not know. - He didn't want to hear or see his brother like that. - Do not blame yourself for the human actions, nothing that happened has been your fault nor will it ever be. - I was trying to calm the minor. - You did your best to make him change, you gave him several things that no other monster would have given him.

- I'm useless! - Shouted the latter.

- You are not. - It contradicted the king. - You have been the only monster that tries to stop the human in the correct way, you have been the only one that accepted for himself the position of king to help all of us.

- ... - I stare at the elder. - Sorry.
