-----------------------------------------------------------

Killer's eyes fluttered awake. He tried to recall what had happened as he sat up, but only to shoot back down due to the pounding pain in his skull. He groaned and looked from wall to wall, pain still pulsating throughout his head.

The door creaked open, he flinched at the noise as the pulsating pushed on.

"Oh, you're awake"

Murder's voice, he concluded.

"Yep-"

He cut himself off, noticing how raspy his voice was.

"What the hell happened?"

He continued, looking at Murder expectantly. Killer noticed Murder wince a bit at the question. Murder looked at him.

"Nightmare threw you into the ground, since you were y'know.. Gone?"

"Oh."

An awkward silence fell between the skeletons. Murder inhaled, looking confused.

"About that.. Where were you? I mean, it's not like you to disappear for 2 days."

Killer thought about it for a moment. Could he trust Murder? Or would he tell Nightmare immediately?

"You can keep a secret from boss, right?"

"I keep everything from Nightmare. He won't know anything."

Killer sighed, deciding to trust Murder and sat up.

"Basically... Uh, I met this sans.. And he became an ally. He also saved me after I-"

Killer cut himself off, noticing Murder furrow his bonebrows.

"..After I got attacked."

Murder nodded slowly, still looking suspicious.

"Okay.. So you made a friend? And he took care of you after you got attacked?"
"Yes, exactly."

Killer was grateful Murder hadn't asked more questions, because he wasn't ready for that conversation. Killer looked around the room.

"Hey Murder?"

"What."

"Can you do me one more favor?"

-------

Murder walked past Nightmare, side by side with Killer. Killer noticed Nightmare's gaze piercing him.

"We're going to an Underswap copy. We'll be back tonight, boss."

Killer smiled, acting as if nothing happened. Nightmare rolled his eye, stalking away. His tendrils dragging along.

"Whatever. Don't kill anyone important."

Murder opened the castle doors, letting Killer walk through first. Murder closed the door. The two walked along for a few seconds until they were out of earshot.

"Alright. Go meet your space friend or something."

"You're the fucking best, dude! I owe you!"

Killer started to run towards the forest, when he heard Murder yell.

"You can teleport, dumbass!"

-------

Killer warped into Outertale, gazing at the area. He was where he was before, the ring of trees surrounding the moon. As he took in his surroundings, he heard somebody call his name. Startled, Killer instinctively pulled out his knife. He calmed down as he recognized the voice getting closer.
