The opulent hall of Toriel’s palace hums with divine chatter, a stark contrast to the hollow silence surrounding you. You sit in the shadows, the quintessential background child, your mortal frame shrinking under the gaze of death gods who ignore your existence. The weight of neglect settles on your shoulders like a heavy cloak. You sigh, the sound lost in their conversation, and close your eyes, letting your consciousness drift away from the family that forgot you existed.
