[ Well, okay. Saying he's Asriel, even if it wasn't true, doesn't cover the sheer amount of damage he's done to these two skeletons in particular, not to mention the rest of the underground. They were by no way obligated to forgive him like Frisk had, Papyrus included.
So he better explain while that exclamation hopefully stalls them. ]
You know the story, right? King Asgore and Queen Toriel had a child named Asriel. One day, a human fell in and was adopted into the royal family. Chara... my sibling... they weren't very nice, but they were my sibling. My best friend. They had a plan to take on the humans that made them jump into Mt. Ebott. Chara started poisoning themself with buttercups. We had a plan... w- we wanted to get six human souls and free all the monsters! Chara lied to our parents, they said they wanted to go see the golden flowers one last time above ground...
... so... Chara died. And because of their last wish, I was allowed to take their soul above ground. But it was both of us in one body-- Chara didn't just want to kill six humans, Chara wanted to kill every human in that village.
So I resisted them. I went to the Golden Flowers, just like Chara asked. Humans started screaming and bringing out their weapons. I could have killed them all, but all I did was pick them back up again and headed back for the monster's world.
You remember the next part, right? I don't have to explain. I died when I came back and turned into dust in the throne room. [ Asgore declared human souls would save them all, and each human would be reaped of theirs, and hope had returned. Toriel was disgusted and absconded to the ruins with Chara's body. ]
Alphys... she did her best. [ laughs a little. ] I wouldn't be alive without her.
She was tasked by Asgore to experiment with determination to try and find all of us a way out without the use of human souls. She took one of the flowers from his throne room, the first one to bloom since I died and injected it with determination. That was me. But I didn't have a soul, all I had were my memories and will to live.
I couldn't feel anything, so I went around doing my best for people, and when that didn't make me feel anything, I tried everything. Eventually, I became the me you know.
I had the power to save and reset until Frisk came along-- that was the determination. I think.
...
[ He bows his head, as if he doesn't care if the bones close in. ]
Too long, didn't listen: Because I had no feelings, I was desperate for any single one. But without a soul, I'd never be on that level.
The Ringmaster let me sign for it back. I have to regain my feelings on my own, b- but... once I do, I'll be Asriel again.
