The hall was illuminated in a golden yellow colour Frisk had seen many times before. Frisk nervously walked forward with zero confidence. Despite Chara's reassuring words, Frisk couldn't help but feel uneasy. As expected, a silhouette of a familiar monster appeared in front of the child.

A bell rang overhead, signifying the beginning of a judgement.

"heya," Sans said in a surprisingly casual tone. He had a normal grin on his face and Frisk almost felt as if everything was okay.

Hey, wait a minute! That's his genocide dialogue!

Frisk remained silent. She ignored Chara's comment and waited for Sans's next line.

"i miss the old times. when we weren't practically at war with each other. when life wasn't about fighting for control. for dominance and in some instances, survival." He said with a sigh. He paced the room in thought. Frisk knew this was true. They both missed the old times.

"We can change that though. I'm sure of it." Frisk said. She took a step forward and continued. "We can return to the surface. We can try to bring Gaster Fraction and live normally." Frisk approached Sans with a smile. He backed away, shaking his head dismissively.

"you don't understand! I reset to prevent going back! we can be happy here! down here, you've already got good food, friends. is going to the surface...really worth it?" Sans closed his eyes in thought, before looking at Frisk, ready for a response.

"I dont get it. What's wrong with the surface? Are you scared that humans will attack? We've already been there, we know it's safe!" Frisk argued, unknowing of Sans's worries.

Sans huffed in annoyance. "if we go back up there, nothing will change. papyrus will die again, VOID will ruin the timeline once again. we can prevent that. let's stay here. we can go to my place and...well... my job will be a lot easier." Sans awaited Frisk's response.

You know. Not dealing with VOID would be good. But this is up to you Frisk. Make a good call.

Frisk uncomfortable looked at Sans. He seemed hopeful. Hopeful that you world make what, in his eyes, was the correct choice. Frisk opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by another person entering the room.

"Dum dee dum." The voice spoke. Upon seeing the short skeleton, they spoke again. "Oh! Sans! I certainly did not expect to see you here today." The king looked across the corridor to see Frisk. He looked disappointed, knowing that if you stepped out of the corridor, something must be done.

"I'll leave you two be." He said quietly, exiting the corridor in a mood much worse than before.

The tension had risen in the room. Frisk was wracking their mind for any information to present to Sans. Maybe a deal. A proposition of sorts. After countless minutes of unspoken words, Frisk presented an offer.

"Sans!" Frisk said in a voice louder than necessary. Frisk was annoyed when an answer was not given. Upon closer inspection, the lazy skeleton didn't talk because he fell asleep. Frisk huffed in annoyance and woke him up through excessive shacking.

"you know I was pretending to sleep cuz i was bored." He said after a minute of shaking. Frisk, once again, huffed.
"Okay, okay, okay. No more distraction because I want to get out of this stupid corridor so listen up!" Frisk demanded. Sans nodded.

"How about I stay here, underground. BUT, I still destroy the barrier. We still live here, but have access to the world above. Deal?" Frisk seemed confident that this will work.
A little bit of both sides. What could go wrong? After all, there's no way we can mirror the previous timeline while living underground. Frisk thought.

"fine. ill take that. we'll be here till the end of time if we don't accept one of each other offers anyway. guess we gotta do a true pacifist now, so ill be back at snowdin while you do your thing." Sans agreed with a grin. He snapped his fingers and was gone.

Guess it's time to complete another pacifist run.

Done. A shorter chapter since it's a continuation from the last. Seems like Sans and Frisk are returning to speaking terms. Anyway, you know the drill, comment etc BYE!
