Opening the file again, I entered the fight again, while simultaneously listening to Flowey's foul words. I just kept dodging until the screen somehow changed and there were lots of knives flying everywhere. Suddenly, a light of hope lightly shined: The "Act" option was there. I quickly got to it while making sure NOT to die again, and I was fortunately able to use it. "You called for help" Suddenly the knives transformed into something else, something green that made me regain life.

Back to the fight, the same things were happening until I got into another one of those screens. After dodging some more, I called for help. My life was partially restored. This happened a total of 6 times (one of those times there were lots of negative words, turned into positive ones). You know, I didn't actually count the number of times this happened, I just assume it since there were the 6 trapped souls (what, you think I actually cared to count them when I was shocked by all of the aforementioned psychological crap?).

(Wait... I just realized, by writing this up, that there were daggers, ballet shoes and a frying pan. All of that has to be a nod to my weapons and armor, right? Oh, there was a gun too! Yeah, that was a nearly-impossible-to-dodge gun, as well as receiving health from it, which scared me because I seriously did not want to die again.)

I also noticed that I was sometimes at the left of the creen and I was respawning at the right. I then saw the actual "File 2 loaded" text. After all of that, I was trapped by Flowey and they started loading the "third" file just to kill me over and over, while also saying that I would never get out of that situation. I would be trapped forever. It genuinely, truly gave me a sense of hopelessness, like I haven't experienced for a really long time. 10 years maybe.

...But I still had hope. I knew the game wouldn't be soooooo cruel. It would be the single most absurd ending in gaming history. Might as well reset everything, do Genocide (if I can also stomach its ending) and get done with this. And I was right: I was trapped by a single rotating circle, but I recovered all of my halth. I was still confused, but it was a good sign from what I guessed. Yes, it was. The souls started to rebel themselves, and I was given the option to fight, so I took it. Every bit of damage I dealt, Flowey had disturbing moans. There was a point were I literally only had a tiny fraction of health left, so I thought I could no longer die. I'm not sure if that's actually true, but I'm pretty sure you can't die anymore.

Finally, I defeated Flowey. Then the credits came. That shocked me as well, since I really thought it was all over. But then... I don't know what came first: The Mercy-fest, or the phone call. I think the latter. I listened to their message, and long story short, I learned that Toriel was the queen, so my hypothesis was confirmed in terms of Asgore being his husband. But then came the Mercy-fest. What do I mean by that? Well: Just kill me. *Mercy* Huh? *Mercy* I don't understand... Why? *Mer-- ehm... Fig--... Mercy* No, seriously, I even considered doing that at some point, but I thought there still was no turning back now. "Mercy" wasn't apparently doing anything, but turns out it did. "I guess this is what you call... Determination". "NO IT ISN'T, YOU ABOMINABLE BEAST!! IT'S CALLED 'DOING THE PACIFIST ROUTE'. DO YOU THINK I DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF YOU?!" Flowey ran away, then returned or something like that, and he offered me a different way to end all of this. A happier ending, which I of course accepted.

End of part 2; part 3 tomorrow.
