Ah, I am glad of that. I was worried I hadn't sent it at all! [She laughs gently at that, before continuing.]

Frisk is very much a child who understands mercy and kindness for its whole. Far more than any other human I knew before.

If they had not continued the trend with these anomalies, I would have wonder if they were ill. [Toriel if anything sounds like the proudest parent possible.]

Perceptive as they are, they see things other children - and even some adults - do not. Recognize pain and hardship, right and wrong, where other children are still learning what these things mean. It always warms my heart when one begins to understand things like this.

How did you come to take them in? [Because they clearly aren't Toriel's by blood...]

Ah, that is a bit of a long story. I'm rather surprised Frisk hasn't told you already. [The memory makes her chuckle softly as she mulls over it.] I'll try to keep this on the shorter side, feel free to ask questions though, dear.

Monsters were sealed into a mountain very, very long time ago. Only humans can enter, but no one can leave.

Frisk managed to fall into one of the few holes in the mountain you see. They ended up in my flower patch in the ruins. It is how we met you see. I took care of them for a short period of time before they went on to have their own... adventure.

They managed to free all of us from the spell sealing monsters away. Frisk chose to stay with me after.

They're a wise and resourceful child, and so stubborn. I'm not surprised they found a way to free all of you.

[Wait a minute...didn't Sans tell him only seven human souls could break the seal? There's the sudden rustle of fabric as he sits up abruptly.]

It...didn't take the sacrifice Sans told me about, did it? The seven souls? I can't imagine they would-...

[Do something like that. Human lives - or any intelligent lives, for that matter - should never be taken at all, ideally. But much, much less so by a child. He hopes they found a peaceful way to resolve the issue, and weren't forced to kill the way he had been. They are eerily similar in many ways, but this can't be one of them.]

[The sudden shift of panic startles the boss monster, before she speaks.] Ah- no, no, Frisk didn't have to- do that.

Frisk found another way. A way to break the barrier without another human soul. I am not entirely sure how, as- a wretched flower attacked everyone. We all passed out as far as I know. Frisk was able to stop them peacefully.

A wretched...flower?

[He's imagining a flower monster, sort of, but is having a hard time reconciling what he knows "monster" means to this world with one being wretched.

He's glad, at least, that Frisk did not have to endure what he has. That stopping an enemy peacefully was an option at all. If the poor child had that much in common with him, he...well, he wouldn't be able to stand it.]

The flower believed quite heavily in kill or be killed. I learned as much from what short interactions I had with him. [The memory of Flowey earns an displeased sound from Toriel, ears pressing against her skull.] He saw a chance to gain power and seized it. Frisk was able to cease whatever their plans were.

After the barrier fell, we went to the surface. Frisk has been teaching me about what I've missed. I've adopted them as officially as I can for human customs.

"Kill or be killed"...

[There's a sad sigh, but he doesn't elaborate. Toriel and Frisk...maybe they're both better off not knowing he's had to kill. Not knowing that while he doesn't believe in it, doesn't believe that's how the world works as a whole, he's had to adhere to it to survive and to save the world from destruction.]

...I'm...I'm so glad you were able to see the surface, after all. What happened to all of you is cruel, and I'm sorry for the behavior of my kind, even if I'm not from your world.
