Do you ever wonder where we would be if we'd have tried a little harder? (open)

Papyrus has gone through the forest beyond the Ruins so many times, he has a tendency to go into autopilot mode during his patrols. The walk is short, taking no more than fifteen minutes from one end to the other, but it's easy to lose himself in thought with how silent and uncharacteristically peaceful the little forest is. That's why he doesn't immediately notice the trees thinning out into a graveyard instead of ending at a massive, locked door. By the time he does notice, it's only because he's standing in front of a faded gravestone.

What the...

He looks around, noting all the other gravestones — and then the castle, which is obviously not Asgore's castle. Where is he? Abruptly on guard, he starts to stalk toward the castle, ignoring the tiny bones that line the pathway.

Normally Sophie would be accompanying Grune but Chara has given her enough trauma for a while. :D;;

The woods are very pretty. Even if they're not very large, the trees are still tall and green and doing their best, and the shade feels nice and cool. Some days, she goes to pick up the small bones along the path and find a safe home for them, but today, she's only wandering about where whim takes her.

After a while, she notices someone tall through the trees. At first she thinks it must be S-4, because they look like a tall skeleton, but...S-4 doesn't move like that. He moves like he's worried he's going to hurt someone.

She doesn't think this new person worries about that the way S-4 does.

"Hello," she calls out as she comes closer.
