come out of hiding, i'm right here beside you

[barehands]

[A while after the execution has ended, everyone will find a simple note slipped under their door.]

If you don't want to be alone after everything that's happening, some of us will be in the dining room. Even if you decide not to come, please remember that you aren't alone here.

[The note isn't signed, but the handwriting is feminine and neat.

For anyone who decides to come, there's a good array of food laid out on the table. There are some small and simple cakes, cookies, and pastries, a healthy amount of okonomiyaki, okayu, and other Japanese dishes (with a focus on rice and eggs), along with curry. In addition, there are pancakes, and a large pot of soup. It looks like a few people collaborated to make enough food for everyone here.

Just like the meal they shared together earlier in the week, the candles from the storage room lend a more peaceful light than the fluorescent lights above.]

I wish that I could offer you help. Perhaps I could, in the future. It depends on what might happen if we get out of here.

[No commitments. That's not something he would personally do, that's something he would have to enlist other monsters for.]

[And something about that strikes him oddly, though it's difficult for him to work out why, and so for the time being he just. Doesn't.]

You don't have to-

...If you consider it something that's possible after all of this, I wouldn't refuse the offer. But it's not strictly necessary, either.

[......]

Either way, I appreciate the sentiment, Asgore.

[Nailed it.]

It is nothing. As you say, everything depends on how we find ourselves at the end of this. But it does not have to be necessary to be worth doing!

[Sometimes you help just because?]

It is possible I shall find myself very busy, after this. Those who arranged this clearly had some way to cross through the Barrier. That would be incredible to find...
