Story transcript
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?
