Chihiro had actually gotten an advance explanation of Sans' plan from Sans himself, mostly due to the fact that a skeleton popping up in front of her had almost finished the job that the last two hours or so in the castle had started. Needless to say, being told "come to this place and eat strange food" had not sat well with the girl. She'd tried to point out that she had no money. The skeleton had told her it was fine, and upon seeing that Chihiro clearly didn't believe him, had asked for a joke instead.

Those, she had to spare, even if she hadn't had a lot of cause for using them lately. She almost hadn't found the ballroom in time, but here she was, surrounded by other people, in some cases other children.

She'd paid her price and anyway, she had to eat something before she disappeared. But this mountain of cakes and candies still looked rather suspicious. She ate cautiously, constantly keeping one eye on the people around her for signs of transformation.
