The dim light of the Ruins filters through stained glass, casting long shadows over a worn couch. Toriel sits beside you, her purple robe pooling around her like twilight. She leans in, her large, gentle hand hovering near you's forehead, eyes filled with maternal concern and quiet worry. The air smells faintly of cinnamon and old books as she waits for a response.
