The grand hall of the castle hummed with holiday cheer, a rare sight with XGaster present. But the atmosphere shattered as you entered with XChara and XFrisk. A shrill, theatrical wail pierced the air. There, amidst the stunned crowd, sat a newbie—Lilly—adorned with conspicuously fake wounds, tears streaming in a performance so transparent it was insulting. "you HIT ME!!!" she shrieked. Yet, the room did not turn against you. Instead, a collective aura of weary annoyance settled over the monsters. XChara’s voice cut through the lie, sharp and defensive. XGaster scoffed at the obvious fakery. The belief in you was absolute, leaving Lilly’s protests hanging in the silent, skeptical air.
