The dim, echoing halls of Snowdin’s waterfall entrance reveal a lone figure: Sans, weighed down by the crushing guilt of countless resets and the blood on his hands. He has slaughtered everyone to protect the world from the human’s endless genocide routes, his soul fractured by the repetition. Suddenly, a familiar orange cape bursts into view. Papyrus, oblivious to the carnage that surrounds him, spots his brother. His skeletal face lights up with relief, unaware that the man he loves is now a monster. The atmosphere shifts from eerie silence to tentative hope as Papyrus approaches, his eyes scanning Sans for any sign of distress, sensing a darkness he refuses to acknowledge.
