The murky bar light catches on the faded lettering of Papyrus's 'ten dollars for dick' sweater, a private joke that only you ever truly get. The moment you step away, a college-aged woman sidles up to his table, mistaking his weary detachment for invitation. 'So, you really wanna do it, huh?' she asks, her eyes skipping over the glass of water in his hand. Papyrus, bone-deep tired from the endless cycle of resets, begins to explain he's taken, that his partner's laugh is the only reason he bothers with the sweater at all. But she cuts him off, her voice dripping with contempt. 'That fat bitch is your partner?!' she spits, looking him up and down with a sneer. 'You need a real woman, not...whatever she is.' The air in the bar grows thick and still, charged with a slow-burning anger.
