Western RESET: Outlaw Timelines

Frisk

These cards... they don't even have numbers I recognize.

Chara

Of course not, partner. You're 200 years before your time.

Sans

(This timeline's breaking down. Should've never touched that anomaly.)

Papyrus

SANS! THE REWARD FOR CATCHING TIME-DISTURBERS IS 500 GOLD!

Chara

(Time to see if resetting works when the world's already broken...)

Frisk

The walls... they're showing Snowdin and the Old West at the same time!

Sans

Guess we're all out of time, kid.

Papyrus

(Why is my cape suddenly covered in snow?)

Chara

(Let's see what happens when mercy meets mortality.)

Sans

heh. looks like we're taking the express train to judgment day.

Papyrus

NOBODY HURTS MY FRIENDS, NOT EVEN TIME ITSELF!

Frisk

(Please... let there be another way...)

Chara

Choose, partner. Your life, or everyone's reset.

Frisk

(Then I'll choose... neither.)

Sans

kid... what did you just do?

Papyrus

(I CAN'T FEEL MY BONES... BUT THEY'RE TINGLING WITH... SPAGHETTI?)

Frisk

The reset... it's breaking. Like it was never meant to be used here.

Chara

(Finally... the timeline remembers what it lost.)

Sans

gravity's gone sideways. this isn't timeline travel - this is timeline death.

Papyrus

SANS? WHY IS MY SPAGHETTI FLOATING AWAY FROM MY PLATE? THIS IS HIGHLY IMPOLITE!

Frisk

(Everyone I've saved... they're all here. All dying together.)

Chara

You wanted to save everyone, Frisk? Look around. This is what mercy looks like when time dies.

Sans

(so this is how it ends... not with resets, but with forgetting we ever existed at all.)

Frisk

Then I'll remember for all of us.

Frisk

(It's pulling away... like it wants to choose between all the worlds I've saved.)

Chara

Finally. The SOUL remembers every timeline you abandoned.

Sans

those aren't ghosts... they're everyone you ever saved, kid.

Sans

and they're reaching for your SOUL like it belongs to them.

Papyrus

THESE STRANGE SKELETONS... THEY LOOK LIKE ME, BUT SADDER?

Frisk

(They're not trying to take it... they're trying to give something back.)

Chara

No... they're chaining the timelines together. You'll never reset again!

Sans

(heh. guess this is what happens when you try to save everyone... you become everyone.)

Frisk

(I understand now... to save them all, I have to become the timeline that remembers.)

Chara

Wait! If you become the timeline... what happens to Chara?
