Ink's Past:
I remained silent on the dirty forest ground. Every time I moved, the pain was excruciating.

Brother had left after the rain started to heavily pour.

C'mon...get us...
He's not gonna come and get us, we're nothing to him.
Th-That's not true, h-he's our brother!
LOOK AT WHAT HE JUST DID, that's not a BROTHER.
It's so painful...

A while past by before I felt my strength return to me. I sat up against a tree and looked up in the sky.

(This timeline was forced differently to others, the underground and overground were 'merged')

An hour or two went by.

* He's around here...

* Mm.

Who was that?
Is it someone we know?
Definitely not.

* Ah, here he is....surprised he didn't run away again.

The taller skeleton came down to my level and looked at my wounds before using magic to heal me. I quickly stood up.

* Easy there, buddy. I'm not an enemy.

* He's here to fix you.

* ...I'm not b-broken.

My brother glared at me.

* A normal person doesn't stutter.

Look closer.

* Don't worry, after today he'll be a changed person.

Not here, go forwards.

* So Ink, your brother told me a lot about you.

* I bet he did...h-he hates me...

* Understandable, you need to be a guardian, and you're not good enough for it. Your mind is...underdeveloped-

* That's not t-true! We went down 26 steps before getting to this room, the front g-garden had 24 yellow roses and the rest - 16 to be exact - were dark red. You're not from my timeline and this isn't your timeline either, you're a father, seeming I saw a picture with you and your family on the wall next to the-

* You...You memorised all this?

* Y-Yes...? I'm not stupid...I'm just...I'm just different..

* Your memory is extraordinary.

* I'm just observant...

A bit more.

* What do you think about the idea?

* It's perfect.

Brother can't be agreeing to this...
How can they just...reset our mind?
We can let this go through.

* Get me out of this glass...container, I don't want to do this, please!

* It's not your choice, buddy.

Just do it.
It might not work, the probability of such a risk-
It's better than doing NOTHING.

I felt a horrible headache as I watched the process begin.

* B-Brother...

Who...who are those people...
It's happening too fast. JUST DO IT BEFORE ALL OUR MEMORIES ERASE!

Ink's View:
I realised I was coughing up blood and Gaster stopped the pain test.

* W-What did you just do to me...
