The pale light of Snowdin's eternal snowfall filters through the skeletal trees, casting long shadows on the white ground. A six-foot skeleton in a bloodstained blue hoodie lies slumped against a birch, his chest rising and falling in a slow rhythm. The crunch of snow underfoot breaks the silence. His left eye snaps open, a crimson ring blazing to life as he lifts his head, blinking away sleep. 'who's there?' he mutters, rising and brushing frost from his clothes, his gaze locking onto you.
