Day 25: Hopes and Dreams
Time spent: Around 1 hour.

This session unfortunately had to be interrupted once, deep into the boss fight, so I had to continue the next day; but at least it made me remember and notice some things I didn't last time. (I'll be mixing both playtimes as I write.)

So the second time, I just waited 10 more minutes before reaching Asgore again. I really wanted to see the 1000 minute barrier surpassed just for fun. I eventually did it, although I did not quite save at the exact 1000:00 mark. Instead, I saved both at the 999:59 mark and at the 1000:01 mark. Well, I checked the menu and nothing changed other than seeing an additional number up there, both in the title screen and in the save menu. It was kind of what I expected anyway, so I think it was worth it, but I also forgot to screenshoot it and show it to you as well. I did find an image that represents me (and Lily) upon not only failing to save exactly at 1000:00, but also for forgetting to screenshoot it:

So what did I do in those 10 minutes? I went through the whole "New Home" area and it was still pretty fast and not enough, so I stood under the throne area and noticed not only the birds singing but also a dense wind current while being there as opposed to being outside the leafy area. I also realized that the elevator was shut with vines. also arranged my phone items, saved, and finally went to the barrier.

(First playthrough): "Back so soon?" "What? So soon?" Time must pass really fast in the barrier or something.
(Second playthrough): "Let's cut to the chase. Let's do this!"

I confronted Asgore and filled myself with determination. But then... Toriel came in. I didn't know Asgore did what he was doing with the humans. Still, I think he was not liking what he was doing, unlike Flowey. Anyway, more people came in, and eventually I was there with Undyne, Papyrus, Sans and Alphys. "Is this another timeline or something?" I also noticed the soul-crushing tears in Asgore's eyes the second time around. "Ugh! Alphys, Undyne... Please don't do that! Oh, thanks, Toriel!" Then Papyrus mentioned a tiny flower and...

BAM!

"You Idiot" started playing, but I was over my trauma from before. Flowey was so stubborn in making this last way longer than it should. I was trapped, but the monsters started helping me. Then every monster started helping me, but Flowey absorbed all their souls.

"I was so tired of being a flower"...

*Hopes and Dreams starts playing*

"OOOOOHHHHH!!!"

This was it. The final showdown. I was glad to have saved up to 1000, but it was also useless once I saw that you could still continue past that. Anyway, I was having a really epic fight, and in my first playthrough I could only reach the part with the "Lost Souls". The second time, though, I noticed something that somehow flew over my head the first time:

ACT -> CHECK -> "Asriel, the result of the absortion of every monster's souls"

"So EVERY monster is inside him. Wow."

I continued to battle, not letting my soul be crushed, until I could struggle no more and I started saving the rest of the souls, starting with Toriel, my nice lil' goat momma. I saved both her and Asgore at the same time. Next, I went for Alphys, arguably my best friend. Then I reached for Papyrus, saving Sans in the process. And finally I saved Undyne. I wanted to try every option with everyone, but of course, it was not possible, at least by doing it just one time.
