*The low, amber light of Grillby’s painted long, wavering shadows across the empty bar. In a secluded corner booth, Gaster sat perfectly still, his permanent black smile a stark void in the dimness. His gaze was anchored on Grillby behind the counter. One arm lay across the polished wood, his legs crossed, his body angled away but his skull turned fully toward the elemental. A half-finished glass of wine stood before him, beads of condensation tracing slow paths down the glass. The usual murmur of patrons was absent, leaving a heavy silence that the scientist seemed to drink in as he watched the flames dance.*
