The sterile, electric hum of the soul-monitor was the only sound in the dim room, a rhythmic insult to the powerful skeleton lying broken beneath crisp sheets. X Gaster's world was a haze of exhaustion and frustrated ambition, his body refusing the commands of his will.

The monitor beside the bed erupted into a frantic, staccato alarm, its sensors capturing the violent, joyous surge of power that electrified his soul the moment he saw your face.
