------------------------------------------------------------------

Flowey already replied - "I feel rejuvenating like a controlled cooperative version than the horror of my manipulative soulless self to become Omega and treat them like magic tools"

Alphys, observing Flowey's transformation, nods thoughtfully. "It's remarkable, Flowey. Your willingness to cooperate and the positive shift in your outlook could hold the key to understanding the potential of the amalgamation of monster and human traits. Let's delve deeper into this fascinating development."

Meanwhile , Papyrus felt a gasp of joy in his bedroom unaware of Gaster observing in the backround.. he then glance notice of the Aroma of Sans serving breakfast for the two kids "Nyehehehe it's a very rare morning occasion where my brother is awake!!!"

 

Papyrus excitedly rushes to the kitchen, his smile beaming. "Sans! What kind of magnificent feast are you preparing today? I can feel the excitement radiating from my bones!"

Frisk and Chara wave as they got busy eating their meal. Sana winks "Sup Bro , rest well? Hehehe…I just decided to RATTLE my bones to get up to the day…even make a BONAFIDE breakfast for the kids.." 

Papyrus chuckles, "Oh, Sans! You truly are a master of puns. But seriously, this breakfast looks spectacular! I'm going to savor every bite and share my boundless enthusiasm for it with everyone!" He then proceeds to join the others at the table with a dramatic flair.

Frisk gulps down their meal and said "I see , glad you slept just in time.. we just happen to wake up too early and got hungry…Hmm , Sans really like to slowly get into more activities?"

Sans smirks, "Well, you know me, kid. Gotta keep things laid-back, especially when it comes to getting up. But hey, if you all are up for it, we can have more of these rare breakfast occasions. Maybe even make it a regular thing."

Papyrus beams as Sans awkwardly ask as he serve a plate of breakfast pancakes and butterscotch cinnamon Pie he made "You okay pAp? You seem having EUPHORIA…"

Papyrus nods enthusiastically, "Nyeh heh heh! I'm just thrilled that we're all together, and Sans is actually contributing to the morning activities. It's a splendid start to the day!"

Sans chuckles, "Guess the rare moments make 'em special, huh?"

Chara teased as they ask while adding chocolate syrup to their pancake "Hehehe , It is Rare for a Skeleton that doesn't do much chore underground to be so active here by the surface as of recently…."

Sans smirks, "Well, you know, gotta keep things interesting. Plus, it's nice having breakfast as a family. Feels... different."

Papyrus grins proudly, "Indeed, it's a new experience! A meal together is the best way to start the day."

Frisk then added as they drink some water to say "Still , Papyrus…Is it really that RARE to see Sans do anything than nap , sleep , eat around and chill? Puns as a plus"

 

Papyrus nods enthusiastically, "Absolutely! Back in the Underground, Sans hardly participated in household activities. Seeing him so involved here is quite extraordinary!"

Sans stretch "Maybe befriending caretaker of the Ruins Toriel help a bit and besides…" winks at Frisk "I just started to feel MOTIVATED TO DO SO.." As Papyrus nod before frowning "You still haven't pick up your sock desptie this amazing breakfast you did just now…" he eats the meal

Sans chuckles, "Eh, the sock can wait, bro. Enjoy your meal first; it's not every day I play chef, ya know?" Papyrus nods with a mouthful of food, "True, Sans! Truly a feast fit for a skeleton!"

Sans smirk as Frisk says along with his words "Yeah BON APPETIT!!!!"

Papyrus laughs, "Nyehehe! Thank you, Sans, for this extraordinary breakfast! Truly, it's a special day!"

As they continue their meal, Gaster observes in the background, quietly noting the shifts in this timeline.

Then , Chara as they eat and chug glass of milk they glance at the corner as if they can sense Gaster nearby.

Chara, with a curious expression, comments, "Feels like someone's watching, huh? Wonder what Gaster is up to now."

 

Frisk whispers back as they eat "Well he is still part of the VOID and barely can reveal due to a split state across time and space of existence…." Sighs. As they check their current Save File which is stable.. Meanwhile, Alphys finally let Flowey trial run to imagine the same feeling he had to turn into Asriel Dremurr

 

Flowey, with a mixture of excitement and nostalgia, begins to imagine the transformation, recalling the emotions and sensations of becoming Asriel Dremurr. Alphys observes the trial run with a keen interest, noting any changes or reactions.

 

As Alphys closely monitors the scanner, she notices subtle fluctuations in the DT levels of the souls within Flowey. The room is filled with an air of anticipation as Flowey delves deeper into the imaginary transformation, his petals shimmering with an ethereal glow. The souls' energies react, creating a mesmerizing dance of colors on the scanner.

The souls internally synchronize their energies, instinctively responding to Flowey's imagined transformation. Their collective presence seems to guide him, each soul lending its unique traits to enhance his magical capabilities. The display on Alphys' scanner reveals a harmonious blend of colors, indicating a balanced and cooperative exchange of power. It's as if the souls, once disparate, have found a common purpose in aiding Flowey's magical evolution.

With the newfound synergy of the human souls within him, Flowey focuses on reverting to his Asriel Dremurr form. Closing his eyes, he envisions the familiar golden-furred body, large ears, and compassionate eyes. The souls respond eagerly, their energies converging to amplify his intent. The air shimmers with a mix of colors as Flowey channels their collective essence.

As the process unfolds, Alphys observes the scanner, noting the intricate dance of soul energies. It's a delicate balance, a testament to the cooperative nature of the human souls. Flowey's form begins to shift, and Alphys can see traces of Asriel emerging, petals rearranging into fur, and a distinctive pair of goat-like horns taking shape.

The transformation progresses steadily, a testament to the newfound connection between Flowey and the amalgamated human souls.

The transformation reaches its culmination, and Flowey successfully morphs into the familiar figure of Asriel Dremurr. The once flower-like exterior is now adorned with golden fur, and the soulful eyes exude warmth and kindness. The six human souls' influence is evident in the vibrant hues surrounding Asriel.

Alphys, witnessing the successful transformation, can hardly contain her excitement. The scanner displays stable DT (Determination) levels, affirming that the cooperative effort of the human souls not only granted Flowey a semblance of humanity but also allowed him to assume his original form.

Asriel, now fully transformed, looks at Alphys with gratitude. The souls within him resonate with a sense of accomplishment, having contributed to this significant moment of regaining identity and form.

Asriel, now fully transformed, feels the amalgamation of the human souls and his pseudo-monster soul pulsating within him, radiating a white aura that signifies the synergy of their energies. With a smile, he acknowledges the success of the transformation, though a slight headache lingers from the process.

However, his joy is interrupted by a peculiar sensation—an eerie voice and a mysterious figure in the periphery. As he glances toward the presence, he senses an enigmatic force, unaware that it is Gaster observing the events from the shadows. The encounter adds a layer of mystery to Asriel's moment of regaining his true form.

 

As Alphys then spoke "So how does it feel without the presence of the 7th soul to maintain that form?"

Flowey, now back in his true form as Asriel Dremurr, takes a moment to reflect on Alphys' question. He expresses, "It's... different. I can feel the absence of the 7th soul's influence, but at the same time, the unity of the other six souls brings a sense of completeness. It's like rediscovering a part of myself."

Asriel continues to explore the nuances of his restored form, grappling with the changes and the unique dynamics of his newfound existence.

Then he cried with joy as he hug her close by habit "Thank you…for although unintentional made me live again through being a flower and understand the predicament me and Frisk had been in…"

Alphys, surprised and moved by Asriel's emotions, pats his back gently. She responds, "I'm glad it worked out, Asriel. Just remember, you and Frisk have a lot of support here. We'll figure things out together."

The room holds a moment of shared understanding, acknowledging the complexities of their past and the possibilities ahead.

Alphys then smiles "Now , shall we check on Mettaton and Undyne? I think we can finally show them your the Prince and nothing went wrong as were agreed upon most of the monsters assume you just magically revived.."

Asriel nods with enthusiasm, "Absolutely! Let's go share the good news. I'm ready to face everyone with my true identity."

The two of them head towards where Mettaton and Undyne are, anticipation filling the air.

Undyne then beams "Oh Prince Asriel Dremurr you're back to your usual familiar look? Or maybe it's more refined? Not much change though.."

Asriel smiles warmly, "Yep, Undyne! I'm back to being me. Alphys here helped me with the transformation process. It feels great to be myself again."

Alphys chimes in, "It's been quite a journey, but I'm glad everything worked out. We can finally put those experiments behind us."

 

Mettaton glance at Asriel Dremurr with a smirk "Ohh my…so Undyne explain certain things so…what is the logic behind this Ms.Alphys darling? A flower turning into the Royal Prince of the underground? His soul is unique as expected…"

 

Alphys grins, explaining, "Well, Mettaton, it's a combination of complex magical and scientific elements. Asriel's soul, now a fusion of human traits, allows him to take this form. It's a bit technical, darling, but the important part is that Prince Asriel is back!"

Mettaton winks, "Oh, the underground is in for a real treat! Prince Asriel Dremurr, the grand return!"

Asriel blushed and giggled when Undyne ruffle his head and bits of fur around her arm to say "Oh hehe I know Howdy!!! As always I shall say to greet.." as Alphys shyly spoke "Anyways…" hug her lizard tail "Mettaton , I wonder not to imitate your way of speaking just as much..ahem…so had Fu-fun hanging out w-with Undyne?"

Mettaton dramatically responds, "Oh, my darling Alphys, spending time with Undyne is always a thrilling experience, filled with laughter, excitement, and a dash of glam, of course! She's truly an inspiration."

Undyne grins proudly, "You hear that, Alphys? Inspiration! Gotta keep things lively around here!"

Asriel chuckles, enjoying the lively banter of his friends.

Then , he uttered to say "Guess I can finally return back home with my parents you all!!! Thanks again for welcoming me here in such a household!!!"

Undyne gives him a playful punch on the shoulder, "You got it, Prince! Anytime you need a break from your royal duties, you're always welcome here!"

Mettaton strikes a pose, "Indeed, darling! Feel free to visit us anytime. I'm sure the fans would love to see more of the fabulous Prince Asriel Dremurr!"

Asriel smiles warmly, appreciating the camaraderie, "I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, everyone."

Alphys then left a note for Asriel to hold onto to whisper "You can deliver it to Sans , Frisk or even that first fallen Chara—your best friend…"

Asriel curiously takes the note, "Sure thing, Alphys. I'll make sure to pass it on. What's in it, though?"

 

Alphys chuckles nervously, "Oh, just some... research notes. Sans might find them interesting, you know, considering his love for shortcuts and all. Anyway, don't worry too much about it. Just hand it over when you get the chance."

Asriel beams "I promise , I always manage to owe such favors!!!" Waved and left Alphys be. Undyne smooch Alphys cheek "So the solution work out to make the Prince revert back to normal?"

 

Alphys grinned, "Yep! It's a success. Asriel's back to his usual self, and the whole transformation thing is under control. Now, let's celebrate with some instant ramen and anime!"

 

Undyne carried Alphys "Ngaahhh , MTT (Mettaton)…YOU WANT TO JOIN us?"

 

Mettaton struck a pose, "Darlings, count me in! I wouldn't miss a glamorous celebration for anything!"

 

They giggle together. Meanwhile , Toriel and Asgore heard a knock by their doorstep (this is Toriel's solo house) to check who was knocking.

Toriel opened the door to find Asriel Dremurr standing there. Asgore, who was nearby, was taken aback but then smiled warmly. "Asriel, my child! You look so... yourself! What a pleasant surprise."

Asriel Dremurr had a nervous chuckle "Well yeah of course I was always myself!!! What do you mean Mom? Dad?" (Hopefully they are still unaware of me being Flowey just know I magically am the revived son they had)

 

Toriel chuckled softly, "Of course, dear. It's just a delight to see you in your usual form. Come in, make yourself at home. Would you like some pie?" Asgore nodded in agreement, "Yes, Asriel, welcome back. We've missed you."

Asriel Dremurr chuckles "I haven't been gone that really long , sometimes you two just exaggerate certain times. Hmm Yes please some Pie would be nice!!! So Uhh…how was Frisk and Chara now?"

Toriel smiled warmly, "They are doing well. Frisk and Chara had a lovely breakfast with Sans and Papyrus. I believe they're in good spirits." Asgore added, "It's heartwarming to see all of you together again."

He nods. As Toriel serve Pie , while Asgore serve tea "How was your time with Dr.Alphys and Capt. Undyne my child?"

 

Asriel Dremurr took a bite of the pie and sipped his tea before answering, "Oh, it was great! They were really helpful and welcoming. And Undyne even made some spicy sauce with instant ramen and anime!" He chuckled. "It felt like a real family gathering."

Asriel Dremurr grinned, "Of course! Howdy is like our family greeting." He then looked a bit serious, "By the way, Mom, Dad, there's something I need to talk to you about. It's about my time as Flowey and what happened after..."

They gulp and pause. As Toriel kindly scoot close to speak "Okay my son take your time..so what about the relation to that talking Flower?"

 

Asriel Dremurr took a deep breath, "You see, Mom, Dad, that talking flower was me. I became Flowey after a failed experiment by Dr. Alphys. It was a difficult time, but with Frisk and Chara's help, I managed to come back to my true form." He hesitated, unsure of how they would react.

They froze. As Asgore was then sensing being tense by Toriel since they are aware Asgore assigned Alphys lots of task as the Royal scientist anyway to leave the barrier. As Toriel said softly "I see , wait does that explain dear why a week ago since the barrier shattered. YOUR the one that broke the seal with everyone's SOULS as Flowey before release. Along with well my child for me to process how we naturally know Frisk' name and the motive of their sacrifice.." as Asgore added "how does it explain Chara being revived or invovled since passing?"

Asriel Dremurr nodded, "Yes, Mom, Dad, it was me. I absorbed the SOULs and broke the barrier. As for Chara, they are still with us, in a way. They've been guiding Frisk and me. It's a bit complicated, but they're not entirely gone." He braced himself for their reactions.

Then , they slowly hugged close. Asgore saying "It's all my fault we're in this current predicament yet it's all clear with the small clues and phenomenal miracles this week and recent days. Especially how your return well , Frisk and even Chara back physically with currently with the Skeleton brothers…" as they said in unison "we understand and love you son/child…"

Asriel Dremurr felt a mix of relief and warmth, hugging his parents tightly. "Thank you, Mom, Dad. I'm sorry for everything, but I promise to make things right. Frisk and Chara have been helping me see the best path to take."

He cried since it's his core trait of a personality as he felt relief and joy kicking in. "I-I-It's just I MANIPULATED you all back then underground as a soulless flower for a VERY..very long time. I get why Frisk want to help me and deep down Chara lives on through their determination luckily enough that's why this is possible!!!"

 

Toriel and Asgore held him tighter, understanding the weight of his past actions. Toriel whispered softly, "We've all made mistakes, my child. What matters is how you choose to move forward, and we are here to support you."

Asgore spoke "Besides , me and your mother raise you and Chara…so we take full responsibility once more despite some changes when you both are back to us.." as Asriel wag his fluffy tail , the other two does so too for he ask "Really? Eek…You both mean it? Forgiving as to understand me?"

Toriel nodded with a warm smile, "Of course, my dear. We love you and Chara, and we will always be here for you both, no matter what." Asgore added, "You've shown remorse and a desire to change. That speaks volumes, Asriel."

Shift to perspective as Papyrus and Sans wash dishes together. As Frisk and Chara whisper to eachother "Yet it seems if there's a save point it means there's new events that can arise to this timeline right?"

Sans chuckled, overhearing their conversation, "You got it, kiddo. The timeline's got some surprises in store. Just gotta keep rollin' with it." Papyrus added with a grin, "And what a grand adventure it is, filled with spaghetti and exciting events!"

 

Frisk and Chara jumps. As they both ask "Wait so Papyrus DO UNDERSTAND the power of DETERMINATION too?"

 

Sans grinned, giving Papyrus a playful nudge. "Looks like our bro's got more going on up there than we thought. Guess he's catching on to the whole timey-wimey stuff." Papyrus proudly stated, "Indeed! I, the great Papyrus, have an uncanny ability to grasp the intricacies of the space-time continuum. It's all in the name of friendship and spaghetti, of course!"

Frisk gasp "Well You both are brothers and very great in your PERSONAS.." they empathized "Still , now we can't keep Papyrus out..uhh…guess you understand where Deja Vu originate from?"

Sans chuckled, "Kid, you're catchin' on quicker than a rabbit on roller skates. Deja Vu's like that itch you can't quite scratch, but when you do, it feels oddly familiar." Papyrus joined in, "Yes! Like when I try a new spaghetti recipe, and it turns out to be the same as the old one. A culinary mystery!"

Chara then pouts "Then that ruins the fun of mystery now Papyrus catch on , no offense but in my time as Frisk' Apparition only they SEE and pay attention to—My impression of Papyrus he is not the brightest.."

Papyrus protested, "Nyehehe! I am very bright, just in my own, unique way. I mean, I can create spaghetti with a mysterious flavor every time!" Sans added with a smirk, "Well, mystery or not, Papyrus here always keeps things interesting."

They chuckle , as Chara facepalm before Frisk shrug and update their Save file of progress in only their and Chara's PoV to see before Frisk said "So Sans…guess Papyrus already accept your new quirk like your Monster Soul stats evolving….even that odd mark of one of your eye of a Star didn't vanish."

Sans grinned, "Yeah, he's catching on. Guess my quirks are becoming less 'quirky' and more 'usual' around here. Speaking of which, how's the whole situation with Gaster lurking around?"

Papyrus has a shock "WAIT SANS , THEY KNOW OF W.D. -Gaster- presence or hint of if he even exist!!!!"

 

Sans winked, "Well, seems like Frisk and Chara here have a sixth sense for these things. Papyrus, buddy, welcome to the mysterious world of W.D. Gaster."

Then they froze when Gaster spawns only a glimpse of his familiar vessel to mutter in Wingdings "a new final choice is near. A new POWER is evolving…" Sans smirks, "Looks like things are getting interesting, eh bro?" Papyrus nods nervously, muttering about puzzles and mysteries as Gaster's presence lingers in the background.

Then , Chara Glares as Frisk silently observe.. chara shouting " HEY MELTY MYSTERY MAN who speaks in HANDS!!!! Why can't you manifest only through bits of pieces in FUN values of certain resets? What does your WORDS MEANT? Not everyone speak windings!!!"

 

Gaster's form flickers before he responds cryptically, "The threads of time weave a complex tapestry. Choices lead to outcomes, and a new power stirs. Watch, as the tale unfolds, and the final choice approaches." Chara rolls their eyes, "Really? You talk like a dramatic fortune cookie. Can't you be more straightforward?" Gaster chuckles in Wingdings, leaving the air with an enigmatic presence.

Sans shrugs and smirks, "He's basically saying things are getting interesting, and there's a big decision on the horizon." Papyrus adds, "But you know how cryptic he likes to be, probably to keep things mysterious." Gaster's message remains lingering in the air as Sans glances at Frisk, "So, kiddo, looks like we're in for some surprises. Ready for whatever comes our way?"

Frisk nodded as they calm Chara down with a chocolate bar and added "Still , we shall probably check on Asriel Woah!!!" Felt their familiar cellphone ringing. Sans as well.

They both check their phones, Frisk answering with a curious expression. As they listen, Frisk's eyes widen slightly, and they share a glance with Chara. Sans raises a brow as Frisk explains, "It's from Alphys. She wants us to come to the lab. Seems like something important is happening."

Papyrus ask "May I come with?" As Sans also added "Guys , the Prince Asriel recently revert his form , then a bunch of explanation of heavy stuff for his parents ahem—he also plans to share a note to us later when meet up in Alph's lab…"

Frisk nods, "Of course, Papyrus, you can join us. And Sans, we'll head to the lab together. There seems to be quite a lot going on lately." They finish the conversation before getting ready to head to Alphys's lab.

Meanwhile , Asriel sighs as his parents ask "Well , if it's something that can involve us or not…We're just relieved some MYSTERIES ARE answered.."

 

Asriel smiles, "Yeah, it's a lot to take in, but I'm glad you both understand. Let's see what happens next. I hope everyone can find their own happiness." They share a moment before Asriel suggests joining the others at Alphys's lab to share the note and discuss further.

He kept the note secret and his souls internally got worried. Newt said with his Violet perseverance soul only Azzy could hear "Say Prince Asriel let me say this…with utmost respect and caution…You sure you can be trusted keeping the secret that doctor favor to hdie and deliver to that skeleton or your human friends that are alive?"

Asriel paused, looking at Newt with a thoughtful expression. "I appreciate your concern, Newt. But keeping secrets can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. I believe in my friends, and they deserve to know. It's about trust, and I trust them to understand." Newt nodded, acknowledging Asriel's decision.

 

Then Chloe said with her cyan/light blue soul of patience uttered "Newt has a point , I understand the honesty but SECRETS of patient time to tell of a reason . Has a good reason…you can't break trust breaking the secret and promise don't you?"

Asriel sighed, recognizing the weight of their words. "You're right, Chloe. Trust is delicate, and promises should be kept. I'll find the right moment to share the secret and note with everyone, ensuring it's the right time and place for honesty." Chloe and Newt nodded in agreement, understanding the complexity of the situation.

Then , Sherluke said with Justice "Just do whatever is right for not you , but all of us here since we also are slowly cooperating you as the host…Hmm , to be honest I am curious why so soon and recent of checking on that lizard doctor again?"

Asriel thought for a moment before responding, "Well, I think it's essential to keep everyone informed about what's happening. Alphys played a crucial role in my revival, and it's only fair to update her on my progress and reassure her that everything is going well. Plus, it might help in building trust and understanding among all of us." Sherluke, with a nod, acknowledged the reasoning behind the decision.

Than before back at present. Bravery and Integrity take turns in their opinions and ponder what other events to upcome

Bravery speaks up, "Perhaps some friendly training sessions with Undyne would be beneficial. It would strengthen bonds and provide a chance to learn from each other's strengths."

Integrity adds, "And we should also keep an eye on Gaster's cryptic messages. Understanding his intentions might be crucial for the future of this timeline."

 

They froze. As Asriel ask but fades back to reality of present. As he prepared to walk and think (Hmm…Is there a reason me and certain people can detect Gaster's presence? Probably have something to do with people can still have direct relation to him…)

As Asriel pondered, he felt a gentle nudge of encouragement from his merged souls, each offering their unique perspectives. Violet (Perseverance) softly whispered, "Follow your instincts, Asriel. Sometimes answers reveal themselves when you least expect it."

Cyan (Patience) chimed in, "Take your time, and the pieces of this puzzle may fall into place naturally."

Justice (Yellow) added, "Just be cautious and observant. We're here to support you, Prince Asriel."

As he continued his contemplation, he felt a sense of unity and guidance from the amalgamation of souls within him.

He whispers to himself "thanks…I really am grateful for once you all wriggling in me for HOPE…" as he finally went to meet up with Frisk and Chara (the skeleton bros behind) in a group hug. To say "Woah!!! You guys going to Alphys as agreed?"

Frisk smiled, "Yeah, we thought it would be a good idea to catch up with everyone and see what's going on. You coming with us, Asriel?"

Chara added, "It's always interesting when we gather with the others, especially now with the recent developments."

Sans gave a nonchalant shrug, "Sure thing, kiddos. Lead the way."

They follow the kids. Papyrus added "Besides , recent discoveries and my GREAT intuition believes something shall be revealed to us!!!"

As they walked, Sans chimed in, "Well, Papyrus, you might be onto something. Things have been getting pretty interesting lately, especially with Gaster making his presence known."

Frisk nodded, "It does feel like there's more to uncover. Let's head to Alphys's lab and see what's happening."

Chara mutters as they munch chocolate "So Azzy , You spoke the TRUTH to Mom and Dad how me and especially you got revived? Since Frisk is suitable for present time compare to us…"

Asriel sighed, "Yeah, I explained everything to them. They took it surprisingly well, though I'm sure there are still a lot of questions. Mom and Dad are relieved to have us back, and I promise I'll fill you both in on the details later. It's just... a lot to process."

Frisk added, "We're here for you, Asriel. And for you too, Chara. Whatever you need to share, we're all in this together."

Sans shrugs and yawns. As Papyrus facepalms carrying a sleepy Sans as the kids finally knock at the backdoor where Alphys' Lab was as they said in unison "Alphys!!! We're here!!!!"

Alphys, hearing the commotion, rushed to open the door. "Hey, kiddos! And, uh, skeletons. What brings you here?" She glanced at Sans. "Sans, you look like you've been napping all day."

Sans gave a lazy grin. "Well, you know me. Always on that grind."

Frisk spoke up, "We wanted to check in on Asriel. How's everything going with his transformation and all?"

Alphys nodded, "Oh, it went better than expected. Come on in, I'll give you all an update."

Alphys, hearing the commotion, rushed to open the door. "Hey, kiddos! And, uh, skeletons. What brings you here?" She glanced at Sans. "Sans, you look like you've been napping all day."

Sans gave a lazy grin. "Well, you know me. Always on that grind."

Frisk spoke up, "We wanted to check in on Asriel. How's everything going with his transformation and all?"

Alphys nodded, "Oh, it went better than expected. Come on in, I'll give you all an update."

Alphys scratched her head, realizing her mix-up. "Oh, oops! My bad, Asriel. I was just caught up in the excitement of your return. Come on in, everyone! I'll fill you in on the latest developments."

The group entered Alphys' lab, where she began explaining the recent progress with Flowey's transformation, the interaction with Undyne and Mettaton, and the overall state of affairs. As she spoke, Sans leaned against a wall, casually observing, while Papyrus listened intently, eager to understand the situation better.
