Sans ran from the Hall, holding Spinels gem tightly against his ribs. He didn’t have even a shred of magic left to use to defend himself and could only hope he’d make it to Asgore's Throne room before this Pink Diamond actually caught up to him.

‘come on….come on!! wake up already or whatever!!’Sans thought desperately, glancing down at the heart-shaped spinel in his bony hands.

Behind him, Sans could hear the sound of scraping metal getting closer and he quickly rolled out of the way, just as he got to the hallway literally just outside of the Throne Room. Sans tried for a teleport but his vision started to blur and his eyelights extinguished themselves for a second as everything began to spin right in front of him, and soon Sans was on his knees again, coughing up blood. Pink was soon right in front of the skellie and Sans was only a few feet away from the entrance to Asgore’s Throne Room, he saw his reflection in the pool of blood starting to form and the spinel gem held tightly in his grasp, everything just hurt so much. He was exhausted, and his body felt SO heavy. Sans tried to stand, getting back to shaky legs and then-

SLASH!!      

Sans fell back to the ground in a heap, blood pouring from the open wound in his chest as he felt the knife cut violently through his rib cage as he dropped Spinel's gem to the side to spare it from getting shattered. Breathing was suddenly a labor, long and hard. He had expected a wound like this to hurt more, but honestly, it was more of a numbness that surrounded it than anything else. He looked up at Pink Diamond who was now towering over the shorter skeleton.

 “...............s-so...guess that’s it huh?” Sans shut his eyes, as the words came out automatically. So used to this by now he didn’t even need to think on what to say. “j-just… don’t say i didn’t warn you…”

Pink stared after him confused for a moment, as Sans got up to his feet, a bony hand clutching over the wound on his chest. He gave her a playful wink. “...welp… i’m going to grillby’s.”

As Sans began to move away, a blood trail in his wake, and dust already starting to flake off his fingers and skull, he thought that he could see Papyrus outstanding by the stairs where you’d usually go down to the basement. He was smiling at Sans, his hands stretched out wide.

 Sans stumbled into the wall, the structure the only thing keeping him from tumbling to the floor. He smiled up at his brother. “hey...papyrus, do you want...anything?”

Spinel’s gem began to glow just as Sans had disappeared into dust completely. The pink gem slowly began to float upwards, just as she was starting to finally reform.

Pink turned her head over to the gem, a look of disgust on her face as she placed a foot over the pink gem, pinning it to the floor. There was a bit of pressure on the heart shaped gem and a crack formed over the heart shaped spinel.

Pink stopped for a moment however as even despite the crack, the Gem continued to reform anyways, and soon she had a body again. Spinel opened her magenta eyes, and her face paled once she realized what was happening.

“P...Pink?” Spinel gasped, looking absolutely terrified.

For a moment, recollection flashed in Pinks' expression and Spinel gave her a small smile.

“Pinky...:”

“You remembered me?”

CRACK!!!
