castle_perraultIt's been - a month? More? Time keeps slipping away from him - since Mettaton was last in the music room.
He's been here a few times, since then. Standing outside the door. But every time there was someone already inside, and he wouldn't want to interrupt. He could always come back later.
Later is now. There's no sound from inside.
There's no one inside.
Adam isn't here. Adam's gone. Not lying in wait, with his gun and his smile and his tools for dealing with a disobedient robot that wandered off all by itself.
It's safe now.
...
Just open the door.
...
How long has he been here?
There's a sound. High heels, clicking on stone. Getting closer.
That's me, Mettaton thinks, and his SOUL lurches in panic. The real me. Please don't let him see me like this. Oh, but he doesn't even think of trying to run. Running away leads to getting caught.
If he's very still and quiet, he'll be safe, won't he?
