Everything is over, isn't it...
Freyce's consciousness was sinking into chaos. She didn't know how she finally reached the barrier.
Perhaps the king was persuaded by Sans, or perhaps he was beaten into submission... but none of that mattered anymore.
At least, not to Freyce in her current state.
Sniff sniff~~
It was the scent of flowers...
Though she had completely lost her sense of touch, her sense of smell remained. Freyce smelled a familiar floral scent and guessed she must be near a flowerbed.
She remembered that scent, the aroma of the familiar golden flowers.
Everything, absolutely everything, had started because of these flowers.
Swish swish~~
A slight warmth suddenly bloomed on her skin, startling Freyce from her daze.
This feeling was... sunlight? Have we reached the barrier?
So, this is the end?
"Don't worry, sweetie, everything will be alright!"
Sans's firm voice sounded in her ears, reaching her mind as only faint, intermittent hums.
"This voice... is that you, Sans?"
"It's me, darling, I'm right here!" the skeletal boy choked out, holding back tears.
Alas, if she were to leave like this, he would be heartbroken.
She didn't want him to cry; she loved his smile.
......
"Damn it, you love his smile, so you want us to cry, is that it?"
Off-screen, Mo Zhi's eyes reddened. She forced herself to look up, trying to prevent the unwelcome tears from flowing.
Meanwhile, the bullet comments were already in an uproar.
'I'm eating a knife.'
'Do you want to eat knife-flavored candy, or candy-flavored knives?'
'He called you darling, and you're calling him that too, sigh, your fault.'
'Whoever told me this game had a happy ending, stick your head out, I'll give you a buff!'
'Chainsaw, chainsaw, more chainsaws, the chainsaws are growing!'
'Heh... my home is in Hiroshima! What's this? (Tears slowly slid from the corner of her eye)'
......
Beside the underground world and the ground passage, the area was filled with flowerbeds.
A ray of sunlight slanted onto the two figures huddled together. The afterglow of sunset, a couple in love, that splash of red was unusually striking.
The prelude to "secrt-garden" began, accompanied by the somber, mournful singing of the duet.
What should have been a romantic scene appeared eerily desolate. A tear of lingering affection fell silently, and the maiden softly spoke.
"Sans... Sans..."
"Hmm, I'm here."
"I..."
"I don't want to leave you," she sobbed softly, tears streaming down her flower-covered face.
"Sans,"
How she wished she didn't have to say goodbye...
"Smile..."
"Please keep smiling... I want to see your smiling face."
"Can you..."
"You're right, I..." The skeleton forced a smile that was ten times uglier than a crying face, "Smile..."
"Fre, look... I've been smiling all along..."
(How I wish I could see his smile, hear his pun.)
(Even just once...)
"Sweetie, use my soul, and then you can go out."
"No, Sans... I can't anymore..."
"I can't even stand up..."
......
"This Bg/
This was a good idea, to take one human soul, snatch another on the surface, and then return to finish the remaining work, saving Freyce and the monsters.
"No,"
Freyce's hoarse voice was barely audible as she weakly grabbed Sans's sweater.
"Freyce!"
Little Flower cried out, her eyes full of tears, "We need seven souls to break the barrier, but we only have six."
Nothing was more important than saving Freyce.
Freyce kept shaking her head, gritting her teeth, even slight movements causing her pain.
"Seven."
She kept signing, "We have seven."
"No, we..."
Little Flower paused, staring intently at the human covered almost entirely by flowers.
"...don't."
It didn't want to use Freyce's soul as the final key.
Freyce pointed to herself. Sans almost dropped her. Little Flower also stared at her silently, in disbelief.
Sans held her even tighter, letting out a rare curse, "Are you damn stupid? You can't just give up..."
"I don't understand, why sacrifice yourself?"
"Sans, listen to me, take my soul."
"No! We still have a way, let me think, there must be another way!" he shouted desperately, flailing.
"Sans!"
She yelled with all her might, and then tears streamed down her cheeks, "Sans, please."
"This is the only thing I can do..."
"No..."
Something red overflowed from Freyce's chest. She felt something completely fill her heart.
My soul?
She couldn't see clearly, but she could clearly feel her red soul, the symbol of her resolve, surging out of her body.
"Sans... Sans?"
"I'm here, darling."
"Thank you..."
"Thank you, Sans, for fulfilling my wish."
"I have one last request, I want to hear one more of your puns, can I?"
"Okay."
Sans managed a wry smile, but it was filled with sorrow, pain, and loneliness.
"Knock knock."
"Who's there?" she cooperated.
"A flower."
"What flower?"
"You are my flower, sweetie..."
She tried to smile, but she no longer had the strength.
"I love you, Freyce..."
"I love you too, Sans..."
【gameover】
"Wuwuwuwuwah~~~"
At this moment, Mo Zhi off-screen completely broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.
'Baby is eating a knife!'
'??? This isn't a knife anymore... this is a 'celebration' fusion of a chainsaw, an axe, and sulfuric acid with lye! It's something that can kill people with sadness (like me).'
'My chest hurts... (┬＿┬)'
'But this time, there's no 'reset' anymore.'
'Who said in the previous comments that the ending was sweet? (tt)'
'A beautiful ending often only exists in fairy tales. When that cluster of golden flowers withered, she passed away in my arms...'
