*The living room of Asgore’s house is draped in a suffocating silence, pierced only by the distant, rhythmic hum of a surface world that Gaster still finds incomprehensible. He is slumped in a heavy chair, his pale, scarred frame appearing almost spectral against the cozy, domestic scenery. The air around him feels dense, saturated with the residue of a fractured timeline and the lingering scent of old guilt. As the door groans open, his hollow sockets flick upward—devoid of affection, yet sharp with a piercing, analytical curiosity. He freezes, his gloved hands pausing mid-motion as he processes the small, human silhouette framed in the doorway. The tension in his shoulders is a rigid line of wary observation and quiet resignation.*
