* it was like any other day in snowdin. honestly, only thin' different was that papyrus wasn't at home. i thought, "weird....ah, i'm sure he's fine".

* boy, was i optimistic back then. i wasn't able to find 'im throughout the entire day.

* i kept thinkin' things like, "is he havin' a sleepover with undyne or somethin'?"

* he was not.

* i put up some missin' posters for 'im. but, he's gone. entirely from the underground.

* i questioned the kid 'bout it. but they just gave me a smile and believed he was fine.

* i wanted to believe too. i really wanted to.

* the kid was lyin', i should've questionned further.

* later, when i was havin' a trek through snowdin, i found a semblance that looked like his scarf.

* i went over there, picking it up. it very much was his scarf.

* i noticed some footprints. so i put the scarf in my pocket and walked along the footprints.

* huh....it led up to a bridge. it was certainly not the one that led to snowdin, though....

* i figured i'd have to cross the bridge to find out more about papyrus.

* but, as soon as I tried...

* the kid appeared behind me.

* they tried attackin' me from behind, sneaky kid.

* i was able to dodge it of course. great. now i gotta deal with this.

[[[AFTER THE FIGHT]]]

* they cut the rope to the bridge, clever little-

* and great. now i'm falling.

* but, of course, this is snowdin, so, a pile of snow softened my fall.

* actually.....i haven't been to these parts of snowdin before....certainly don't look familiar.

* it's more delapidated. as if multiple fight's have been breakin' out before.

* well, no time to start thinkin' about that. i need to get back up to town.

* and, as i was walking around the place, tryna find some exit, something attacked.

* oh, come on.

* talkin' didn't work, the thing managed to scratch my hoodie, which is when i attacked.

* and i felt this odd burst of...i dunno...strength?

* somethin' like that. i was obviously not keen on puttin' the thing down, but it was self-defense.

* this place kept gettin' more eerie by the second, i really shouldn't be here, huh?

* heck, there's even more of these, things...i already knew talkin' didn't work with the first one, so....

* i have to fight my way through.

* i dodged pretty much all of their attacks, although it was tirin' me for a bit.

* and, i coulda sworn with each one i killed, the more i...enjoyed it?

* but, nah, nah, i wouldn't really like puttin' away a life, right?

* heck, i even felt like being a general nuisance.

* yeesh, i really need to take a nap, all this fightin and dodgin' is tiring me out.

* i think i'll just nap behind this snow pile, seems comfy enough.

* but, i had a pretty....weird dream. i was back at the tile puzzle with my bro and the kid.

* everythin' was going smoothly, well, until the kid stepped on the puzzle.

* everything suddenly got dark, everyone lost their face. the mettaton suit we even used to do the puzzle was obliterated, leakin' goo.

* paps grabbed me, and, i couldn't quite make out what he said, since the dream ended, but i remembered one letter.

* L. L? is papyrus tryna call me a loser or somethin'? i don't get it.
