“N-no. I guess not. I'm sorry.”

Sarah seemed to have gotten over Sans trying to attack her. “Frisk? How can you forgive him? He almost killed me!”

“Everyone deserves a second chance.” I said, smiling weakly.

“some more than others….” Sans said staring at the ground.

“I'm sorry.” I said. “But I'm not sure what to do. I could reset, but then everything would just happen again.”

“you would only be able to do a true reset.” Sans said still staring at the ground.

“Well, what’s our course of action then?” I asked.

“it's your call, just like it's always been….”

“Why should it be my call? You’re the adult here. The assistant to Gaster, then Alphys. The smartest one of us all.”

“heh, yeah… welp, i say that we should do a vote. it will at least be fair that way.” Sans said standing up.

“We should probably head to your house first.” I said.

“only if you want to… i can teleport us there if i take multiple trips.”

“I'm not going anywhere with him.” Sarah said, still bitter.

“Sarah, it’s either go with Sans, or wait for Chara or Flowey to come back.” I said, realizing that Flowey had disappeared.

“Fine.” She said, her arms crossed. “But I don't have to like it.”

“okay then, if it's settled, then i’m taking frisk first.”

“Okay.” I said, grabbing hold of his hand, then glanced at Sarah. “Don't do anything stupid while we’re gone, please.” I said, then we left.

“so kid… how you holding up? sorry i kind of snapped.”

“I'm… fine.” I said. “It just scared me. You’re usually so calm and then-” I broke off.

“eh, touchy subjects.” Sans shrugs.

“Again, I'm sorry about Toriel. I know she meant a lot to you.”

“yeah… well i should probably go get sarah. give me a sec.” Sans teleported back to Toriel’s house.

“Back so soon?” Sarah said, sitting on her bed, her arms crossed.

“yeah, about that. i don't care how you feel about me, but we need to try to stick to the plan. though this time we may need two dt extractors.” Sans said eyeing Sarah.

“Why do we need two?”

“well, if chara can possess you too then…”

“Then what? You’ll attack her and kill me in the process? Not like you’d care anyways. After all, I'm not even supposed to exist.”

“heh, yeah, i probably wouldn't care if you died in the process, but frisk would.” Sans’s eyes turned dark.

“So you admit it. You truly don't care what happens to me. So if Chara comes back and possesses me, you wouldn't care if it stayed that way forever?” Tears formed in the corner of her eyes. “Why do you care so much about Frisk?”

“nah, kid. we both have a common goal, to get rid of chara. as for frisk, she's the one who can reset. now before you go off telling everyone that being nice is all an act, it really isn't. frisk is a nice kid. especially when she's flirting.” Sans said to Sarah. “now come on, we should probably get back to frisk.” He grabbed her hand and they disappeared.

“Finally you guys are back!” I exclaimed when they reappeared. “I was starting to get worried. Is everything okay?” I asked Sans, turning to him. “Also, Papyrus told me to tell you that he left for his cooking lesson with Undyne.”
