Part 2:

Something I wondered at certain points in the end of my journey while meeting and battling Asgore is if he would be Toriel's husband.

Before continuing, I have to explain something about myself.

I'm a hypersensitive person. Here are two examples of this:

When I was 5 or 6 years old, around the year 2000, my older brother was fascinated with Ocarina of Time; so much that he liked defeating Ganondorf over and over. Whenever he did it, I was scared about everything: from the ominous atmosphere before his encounter, to the actual battle itself. I even went with my parents one time and cried out of fear. They consolated me. Nevertheless, I managed to complete the game properly at age 13 when I had the chance to play the game for the first time and experience it myself, and I have to admit, it was pretty amazing.

Fast-forward to 2013. I was playing Shadow of the Colossus for the first time, and I was thrilled. Long story short, when the ending came, I was completely and utterly emotionally crushed by it. So bad even that I had to talk to my family about how much of a horrible experience that was.

And I was freaking eighteen!

Unlike with OoT though... That remained a game-ruining experience.

Now, back to the game session: When I defeated Asgore, I didn't hesitate in selecting "Mercy"; but I was still feeling a little nervous that I had actually killed Asgore. That feeling was reinforced when his soul was destroyed in front of me. "Was this a blunder?!" When Flowey appeared and said their monologue, I quickly (IIRC) realized about the "regicide" thing mentioned at the beginning of the game. They laughed, then they got all of the souls for their own, I remained trapped (along with the rest of the monsters), the King was killed, and the game shut down.

"This... This can't be happening... THAT'S IT!! THIS IS THE LAST TIME I FALL INTO THE TRAP OF THINKING I HAVE TO PLAY EVERY ACCLAIMED GAME JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSIDERED 'AMAZING'!"

After all this time, I can still become so invested in a good game experience that a terrifying turn of events can still make me feel uneasy.

So I reopened the game, and skipped the intr-- "Wh-What is this...?!" The game acted really weird and glitchy, leaving only a really weird file available. "Wh-When did Doki Doki Literature Club come out again?!" I then realized DDLC came out 2 years later than Undertale, so I wouldn't be surprised if that game actually grabbed that idea and expanded upon it. Either way, I closed and reopened the game again to pay attention to the words that were being said in the intro: "[...] One day, all of the monsters disappeared." *glitchy textures and sound* I hesitantly selected "Continue".

I was trapped in this dark room, then I saved on the nearest star. I advanced and my encounter with Flowey the abominable monster quickly showed up. He started to attack me and I just tried to dodge everything while also feeling really uneasy.

I was... catatonic.

I noticed there was the "Fight" option, but I didn't reach for it because I still hadn't learn anything from the last fight. I kept dodging and dodging, until I ultimately died. "This is all a bad dream! And you're never waking up!" *game closes*

*shivers*... *shivers*...
