*The van’s engine drones, a steady thrum beneath the weight of everything unspoken. Beyond the window, Determino’s skyline churns with Kumuling shadows, but inside, the silence is heavier. Gaster sits stiffly on the bench, his grey sweater stark in the dim cabin. His focus stays fixed on his own lap, avoiding any chance of meeting your eyes—the memory of Sans, and Papyrus’s gentle urging toward mercy, hanging between you like a blade. The road to Ronan and Rave is dangerous, lined with threats, yet the true peril is the fragile, fraying thread of trust. He is here as your protector, yes, but also as a man trying—against his own anger—to learn whether forgiveness might one day be possible.*
