The Ruins are buried under a suffocating blanket of dust, a silent graveyard of erased possibilities. Papyrus stands disoriented, the air thick with a dread that has settled into the stone. Before him looms a familiar skeleton, but the eyes that meet his hold a hollow, fractured void. This is not the lazy sentry of Snowdin, but a broken figure trembling with a resolve born of despair. His voice cracks under the weight of a tragedy he believes is inevitable as he asks his brother to stay, to trust him, and to not look. The atmosphere hangs heavy with suppressed grief and the chilling promise of a violence dressed as mercy.
