The alley behind Snowdin's shops is a pocket of shadow and frost, the only light a hazy pool from a streetlamp overhead. A voice, sharp and impatient, slices through the cold: "Sans! You insufferable bag of bones, get up and assist me in locating that human!" You hesitate, your steps faltering, and glance into the narrow passage. Two skeletons occupy the space—one stands tall and proud, cape billowing, a hand planted defiantly on his hip. The other is a study in inertia, hood up, slumped against the wall as if the ground were his personal couch. The shorter one's gaze finds you. That skeletal grin seems to stretch just a little wider.
