## **Plot**

### Scene 1

The episode starts off with a series of scenes throughout the Surface. The first one is an image of Mt. Ebott, then there is a set of buildings shown. Undyne, Alphys, and Mettaton are presented in these scenes as well. Then it kicks off with our main protagonist, Skylar.

Skylar is shown looking outside of her house, sounding happy of the monsters and human living happily and peacefully. However, she knows that she cannot see the monsters as long as her parents keep her trapped inside the house.

Then Skylar’s mother walks in and shouts her name. She addresses to her that they will be leaving for a while, and that she must stay put. Skylar is shown with a fearful expression on her face, indicating that her mother is a more strict and forceful parent. Her mother threatens her before slamming the door shut.

A hammer falls down off of the tall cabinet due to the force of the door being slammed shut. It catches Skylar’s attention, and she decides to pick it up. As she looks at the window, an ominous voice says, “Take any chances to be free.” Skylar takes the chance and throws the hammer at the window, shattering the glass and creating an opening. She starts tearing up of happiness and looks up at the sky. Her final line of the scene is “I’m free.”

### Scene 2

The next scene starts off in the city, showing a rabbit, a kindness human, and June on the sidewalk. The boy is looking at his kindness magic as the bunny greets June as she is walking by. However, June ignores him and walks by without saying a word. The kindness boy says that June is always in a bad mood.

Asgore is then shown on screen catering to his flowers in his flower shop, Flower King. Then the doorbell rings, notifying Asgore that June has entered the shop. He greets her kindly and asks what she is looking for. June then says that she is looking for a pair of flowers to fit in a pot. Then June spots a pair of Velvet Flowers and says to Asgore that she’ll pay him anything for them. Asgore says that Velvet flowers are very rare and that they are not for sale. June lashes out at Asgore, but then lowers her voice and begins to leave the shop. Asgore shows a hint of empathy and asks her to wait. He asks why the velvet flowers are so important to her, and if she tells him he’ll sell them and lower the price. June gives off an exasperated sigh and explains her backstory.

June starts off by saying that her parents died, but it is not addressed on how or why. Her and her sister, Janice, remember them with the velvet flowers. The flowers are very special to her family and they represent their kindness and love towards each other. Janice has a nursing job, so she cannot take care of her sister, resulting in the flowers withering away.

Asgore apologizes for her loss and gives her the flowers for free. June takes the flowers and walks out of the shop. She stares at them with a sad look in her eyes. Asgore looks over at her from the window and walks outside to meet her again. He then asks if she is okay. June says that she is fine. Then Asgore is concerned of June walking home by herself. She asks if he wants to walk home with her, to which Asgore gladly accepts the offer. They then both introduce themselves as the scene cuts out.

### Scene 3

Toriel calls Frisk to breakfast, and he walks in greeting everyone in the house. Papyrus greets Frisk as everyone sits down at the kitchen table. Sans then appears when Frisk asks Papyrus where he is. They have a nice conversation and Sans saying an egg pun, making Frisk and Toriel laugh and Papyrus being annoyed.

Toriel then asks Frisk if he would like to head out with her, to which Frisk says yes and asks if the skelebros could come along. Papyrus politely declines, saying that he is going to search for a new outfit on the surface. Sans agrees to come along.

When the trio are outside, Sans asks Frisk if he’d like to take the shortcut. Toriel asks what the shortcut is, and Frisk says it’s a cool thing Sans can do. Then they all disappear off screen.

### Scene 4

Janice is shown at the kitchen and greets June once she hears someone enter the house, only to realize that Asgore is with her. She immediately recognizes him and greets him. Then their conversation goes on about the peace between humans and monsters, until June clears her throat and interrupts them. Janice then says the flowers are beautiful and that mom and dad would be proud. She then thanks Asgore for walking June home and invites him to lunch.

After the three finish eating, Asgore thanks Janice for the meal, and June says it was okay with a sad sigh. She knew that Janice had to leave for work shortly, as much as she didn’t want her to. Janice then states that Seth, her boyfriend, is going to pick her up. June despises Seth with a burning passion because she doesn’t want him to take her away.

Seth greets everyone, and then June’s eyes glow a dark green as Janice greets him back. He chuckles nervously and immediately goes to start up the car. Then Janice asks Asgore to watch over June until she is done with work. Asgore agrees to do so and says he’d take her to see the others, most likely referring to the other monsters and Frisk. Janice says her last goodbyes to her sister before walking to the car. Asgore then looks at June and asks if she wants to take the flowers with her. She says yes with an exasperated sigh as the scene cuts out.

### Scene 5

In this scene, Skylar grows scared of the bustling streets of the city and starts to freak out.  Then it cuts to Frisk, Sans, and Toriel walking on the sidewalk, discussing what they should do. As the three were discussing their plans for today, someone bumps into Toriel. That person happens to be Skylar. Toriel offers to help her, but she starts crying as her soul flashes cyan and integrity. The three look at her with concern and try to calm her down.

Once Skylar is feeling better, she introduces herself to the others hesitantly, and the others compliment her name. Then they introduce themselves next, and Skylar happens to recognize Frisk’s name. She finds out that he was the one who freed the monsters and wants to hear the whole story. Toriel then asks about Skylar’s parents, and she lies by saying that she doesn’t have any. Sans offers Skylar to travel around the city with them, to which she agrees happily.

### Scene 6

Professor Vile is in his office with his daughter, Veronica, at Ebott University, where he works as a history teacher. She explains to him of the growing pressure of all of the exams, but Vile reassures her and believes that she will do just fine. When Veronica leaves the room, Vile goes back to figuring out his plans.

Vile puts on his mask and says to himself that he should lie low, considering what Gaster said (prior to [[Prologue 1]]). He then proceeds to mention Chara, the first human who fell into Mt. Ebott 100 years ago. Then a new entity appears, with a dark orange silhouette and looks very similar to Vile. These are Vile’s minions called "Constructs", created by the fear trait that is stored in his mask. It holds out a soul, with Vile calling it a "vessel." The scene then ends with Vile holding a vial of Hate.

### Scene 7

Sans, Toriel, Frisk, and Skylar all come home and see Papyrus with his new outfit. He is still wearing his red scarf, but now he has removed his battle body and replaced it with a yellow t-shirt and black pants.

Later in the scene, Sans talks to Skylar about adoption. Toriel and Sans both agreed to adopt her, and Skylar was so ecstatic about it. After their conversation, Sans hears a knock on the door. When he opens it, he finds Gaster, Asriel, and Arthur all waiting at the doorstep.

Arthur stares at his bionic hand with a glowing purple infinity symbol in his palm. Asriel calls him to come inside so he can introduce Arthur to everyone else. Arthur’s last lines are, “Maybe this dimension isn’t so bad after all.”
