As everything fades away when they die, coming back to life is like seeing everything fading into existence again.

The first thing they're aware of is light, and that they can see, rather than seeing anything in specific.

The second thing they're aware of is sensation, the weight of their limbs pressing into a smooth, stone surface.

Where are they, exactly?

Chara tries to focus, blinking a few times in the hopes of clearing their vision. An empty stone hallway, rather like the one they last died in, with high windows flooding the area with sunlight.

They take a deep breath and try and push themselves into an upright position, only to be hit with a wave of sudden dizziness and have to flop back onto the floor. Okay, that's not good. What happened?

They can remember their SOUL shattering, and laughing so hard their sides were aching. Sans. Bruises. Blood. Theirs? No, not at first. Chasing the other child down unfamiliar hallways. Messy. No EXP increase, no LV.

No partner.

Chara waits a moment, just in case any input is forthcoming, but even after several minutes they remain alone. Once again, they're going to have to do everything themselves.

They manage to sit up with only a minimal amount of dizziness, then lurch to their feet. Minus the dizziness, it's rather like the last time they died and woke up again.

The knife is nearby, again, and they pick it up, again. Their locket is also still hanging from their neck, and they can still feel it faintly beating. But there's also a strange weight in their pocket, and when they slip a hand inside to check- oh. Right. An... alternative version of their locket, they guess.

Gripping the locket tightly, they set out to find their purpose once again.

[As with Frisk's post, this is set three days after their death.]

He would understand that... even if it would hurt to hear. He cares about their well-being. Why doesn't Frisk care as much?

He holds them until they start speaking, and then his grip falters as they explain. "Chara is... gone? They won't hurt anyone?"

He grabs their hand tightly.

"We have to tell them. Right away."

They're gone for now.

...But Frisk isn't going to say that.

"Yeah. Yeah, let's." They squeeze back. "So e-everybody can worry less."

Though they might need a tiny bit of help getting back up. Honestly, they could pass out right there right now.

Frisk doesn't need to worry about getting up. S-4 knows exhaustion when he sees it, and he knows how to carry someone who's having trouble moving. In an instant, they're up in S-4's arms, and he starts walking down the hall, smiling softly. He's tired too, and he might be barely awake when he gets them to the bedroom, but he doesn't much care if it means Frisk and everyone else is safe.

They suck in a sharp breath--that wasn't expected at all--but settle quickly enough, resting their face on his shoulder and trying very hard not to fall asleep there.

Once they make it to the skeleton room, though, they carefully wiggle out of S-4's arms to make it over to where Sans is lying.
