[They must've done a better job of blocking all that out than they'd thought. Good enough to obscure it even from Chara. From themselves, sometimes. The reasoning behind it is very simple.
It's because that person wasn't them. Wasn't Frisk. They became Frisk when they made the choice to walk up that mountain, their striped shirt sticking to their back with sweat, their breath puffing out in hot bursts against the chilled air. Walk to the top with their toes balancing over the edge, peering over. They couldn't even see the bottom. Nothing but a sheer drop into inky void. From where they stood, it might have even been a portal into another world. And in a way, it was.]
I guess I decided it wasn't me. With that first SAVE...
[They stretch out a hand, mimicking the motion of forming the golden four-pronged point. The crackling of red leaves underfoot. A new life, a new world, a curious monster who said that she would take care of them. And with the power to SAVE came the knowledge that they did not have to go back. They could not go back prior to that point.]
But I don't know about what happens when we get out.
