No, I will not do a Genocide Run.
I'm happy with the way things ended, and I intend to preserve that. The characters of this game, they grew on me. A lot. They weren't just sprites on my computer screen. They felt real. They had hopes, they had dreams, they had flaws and they had fears. We didn't understand each other at first… But through compassion, understanding and MERCY, we overcame our differences. But were we really different to begin with? Human? Monster? What does that really mean? The world I wandered through, which seemed so cold and dark in the beginning, slowly faded away, as I realized I wasn't alone on this journey. Who would have thought? We ended up being friends. They made me smile, They made me laugh. And I'm not ashamed to say that… They also made me cry.
Sometimes, I would pass through a corridor, wondering about them, about what they were doing, about what they were thinking right now. So I'd grab my cellphone and strike up a conversation with them. I was talking out loud, asking them about what was going on in their lives. And guess what? They answered me, i could hear their voice reach me, and we talked for hours. Toriel and Sans were cracking some random bad jokes, I laughed so much when Undyne told me about how she surprised Papyrus pretending to drive on his bed! And Alphys… We talked a lot about her deep fears of coming to terms with her true-self. Eventually, I think our chats both made us stronger.
To think that they finally made it to the surface… I can't image how they felt when they took their first breath of fresh air. Ahah, I was almost jealous. But i'm glad, i wouldn't have it any other way.
And why would I throw all that away? Because some jaded flower is urging me to play a "game" again? Well guess what, Flowey: that was never a game for me to begin with.
I will never reset my Save, i will never let my friends down, and knowing that they're all probably waiting for me right now fills me with:
DETERMINATION.
