'What the heck?'
'Fish sis?'
'Don't panic (actually panicking)'
'This isn't the tsundere Fish sis I know!'
'After all that effort for a heartwarming moment, you make me lose so completely, dammit!'
'Don't forget, even in a pacifist route, Fish sis's hostility towards humans is immense, even more so than that of Papyrus here.'
'Yeah, if you want to talk about who in the Underground wants to kill humans the most, it's definitely Fish sis.'
'Hey, after waking up this time, Frisk...'
...
"She might be completely blind..." Mo Zhi, picking up on the barrage of comments, voiced the cruel outcome with great reluctance.
Even as she said it, she was internally holding out immense hope for some kind of reversal.
I can't be this careless anymore.
Frisk silently admonished herself upon waking.
She tried to open her eyes to survey her surroundings, only to find nothing but darkness.
Frisk attempted to blink; she could feel her eyelids moving, but all she saw was still darkness.
Pale white text on a pitch-black background appeared so helpless, as if amplifying Frisk's current inner turmoil.
Perhaps she was trapped somewhere before the save point?
The edge of time, perhaps?
Or a time tunnel?
Something hard wrapped around her hand, startling Frisk, lost in her own thoughts.
"Sweetheart, are you there?"
It was Sans's voice. Though somewhat hoarse, she could recognize the owner of the voice as Sans; she had truly woken up.
But why?
In her panic, she reached out to try and pull away the unknown obstruction in front of her. But as she grasped the troublesome object and attempted to pull it away, a sharp pain pierced her skull.
"Ah!!!"
Accompanied by a scream, her body lurched forward abruptly.
Something caught her; it must have been Sans.
"Steady, sweetheart," Sans's voice came.
"She shouldn't have touched those flowers," said Flower, "it would hurt her a lot."
Their words echoed in Frisk's ears, so close, yet seeming so far away.
I'm blind?
"Wuwu~~"
Frisk let out a soft sob, forced to accept the terrible reality.
Why did this happen...
Slowly, she slumped to the ground, tears streaming from her wet eyes.
"Child, how co—"
Sans, noticing Frisk's unusual state, leaned down and, seeing her eyes covered in flowers, couldn't help but exclaim, "Sweetheart!"
"You, your eyes..."
"Frisk!"
At this moment, Flower also reacted, "What happened? Did Undyne attack you?"
Frisk's ears were buzzing.
Completely unaware of what was happening around her, she only knew her shoulders were trembling helplessly, and teardrops were falling one by one.
Suddenly losing her sense of the world was so cruel to someone who had once possessed sight.
She couldn't calm down at all; even Sans couldn't truly empathize.
That despair, that fear of the sudden darkness, completely enveloped Frisk, suffocating her.
"Fufu is really too pitiful."
Mo Zhi felt a pang of sympathy, unable to watch further. "I can't imagine if I, who have always felt the light, suddenly lost it all, whether I could handle it."
"I dare not even think about it, for fear of losing the courage to live."
Her words resonated with many viewers, and the sound of gift special effects rose and fell.
'If it were me, I would definitely choose to restart. I really don't have the courage to face a life full of darkness for the rest of my days.'
'Congenital blindness is one thing, but acquired blindness is truly devastating.'
'As the saying goes, I could have endured the darkness, had I not seen the sun.'
'Damn it, I don't want to be hit by this sad scene so soon!'
'I don't want to see the tears this early!'
'Good ending!!! Good ending!!!!!!!'
...
"I'm sorry, Frisk."
Flower's apologetic voice came through, "I shouldn't have gone ahead to scout without you guys; it's all my fault..."
"Shut up, weed!"
Sans roared angrily, "It was I who failed to protect her, I who failed to guard her. But thankfully, she reset and came back."
"So, we should probably rest for a bit. I know she must be under a lot of pressure right now."
"Sweetheart, can we walk later? What do you say?"
Frisk tried to nod, but her body wouldn't obey, trembling continuously.
"I understand what you mean, it seems you agree."
Sans said, "Calm down, be patient. What you need most right now is a good rest."
He carefully picked her up. Feeling his strong chest, she leaned against it gently, her heart settling a little.
After walking for a while, Frisk sensed they had arrived near the blue flowers again.
A faint fragrance wafted towards her, and her body gradually stopped trembling, her state of mind greatly soothed.
A gentle breeze blew, and feeling the beauty of nature, Frisk unconsciously drifted to sleep.
After a long while,
When Frisk awoke again, she still couldn't see anything.
This dashed her last sliver of hope; she had indeed lost her sight completely.
To confirm it without a doubt, she even tried rubbing her eyes.
The final flower that had grown from her eyeball extinguished her last thought. She calmly withdrew her hand.
Frisk gradually accepted the fact of her blindness.
No matter what, it was in the past.
Thinking about it now was meaningless.
She encouraged herself inwardly.
"Mmm... are you awake?"
Frisk, trying to acclimate to the darkness, slowly felt her way around. She startled Sans, who was dozing, and he asked gently, "How are you feeling now? Does anything still hurt?"
"I'm much better, thank you, Sans."
"The only thing that bothers me now is that I've lost my sight."
This was Frisk's first time speaking since her reset. Sans quietly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern, "Are you okay in all other aspects besides your vision?"
"That's good."
He added, "But don't worry, this time I'll be your eyes."
This awkward sugar, eaten, had a different kind of flavor.
'Disclaimer: Please do not add other seasonings to the sugar; it affects the taste!'
'What are you doing? Why use a knife as an ingredient for such delicious sugar?!'
'Who is so heartless as to put a knife in the sugar to stab me to death.'
'Sugar with blades!'
'Is this the prelude to a Big Ivan?'
'First blindness, and then if Fufu dies...'
'Don't say it, impossible, absolutely impossible!!'
