Chapter 5

(The neural network is able to surprise and delight. Thank you! You're better than Google Translator)

Sansa appeared out of nowhere and... hugged me.

Sansa: I'm glad you're okay.

Max: Why are you hugging me?

Sansa: Because I was worried about you!

Max: Can you let me go then? Otherwise I'm uncomfortable...

Sansa: Hehe. Come on.

She pulled away from me and sat down next to me on the bed

Dr. Sans: Well, I'll leave you two alone. Max, please don't forget to take the pills.

Max: Of course.

As soon as he left, I immediately complied with his request.

Sansa: So...

She looked at me with a mischievous smile.

Sansa: I think you owe me an explanation.

Max: Should I tell you briefly or completely?

Sansa: All at once.

Max: Okay.

I told Sansa from the moment my soul disconnected. At first she didn't believe me and took it as a joke. But looking at my face, she realized that I was not joking.

Sansa: That is, your soul, or rather parts of your soul are located in different parts of the multiverse. Did I get it right?

Max: Yes.

Sansa: And that's why you felt so bad?

Max: Yes.

Sansa: Ok. And how are you going to get them back?

Max: And it depends on the Core. She's the only one who can find them.

Sansa: I see... Is there anything I can do to help you?

- I don't think so.

Max: All I need right now is to pick up all the pieces.

Sansa: And what will happen when you collect them?

- Hm... I didn't think about that. Alpha said I should collect them. But what should I do next?

Max: I don't know. Maybe I'll just go back to my house.

Sansa: Home? Why can't you stay here?

Max: Because I don't like sleeping in the hospital.

Sansa: I mean, why don't you want to stay in Omega timeline?

Max: ... I have my reasons...

Sansa: And what are they?

She looked at me with a smirk.
- You wouldn't understand anyway.

Max: Personal reasons.

Sansa: And what are these "personal reasons"?

Max: Sansa. Remember you told me you wouldn't make me talk about my past?

Sansa: Well, yes.

Max: Let's not question me about this, okay?

Sansa: ... Okay.

There was silence between us.

Sansa: Can you show your soul again?

Max: Vessel.

Sansa: Yes... Exactly... The vessel.

*Shows her the vessel with the blue part*

Sansa: Wait! In my opinion, this color was not here before.

Max: Yes. Dr. Sans gave it to me. He found it in his lab.

Sansa: Hmm... So your soul is blue?

Max: No. I told you that I have only 8 parts and they are of different colors.

Sansa: Okay. And what does this part do?

Max: Telekinesis. With its help, I can lift things at a short distance.

Sansa: Really!? Can you show me!?

Max: I don't even know. I haven't tried using magic without other parts.

Sansa: Try it anyway! I'm interested to see it!

I tried to lift my clothes into the air. At first it slowly rose up, but then I couldn't stand it and dropped it on a chair.

Max: No... I can't do it without the other parts.

Sansa: Oh... But it was still cool!

Max: Yeah.

I lay on my back and took a deep breath.

Sansa: Are you okay?

Max: Yes. It's just that I haven't used magic for a very long time.

Sansa: I see.

She took a bottle of ketchup out of her hoodie.

Sansa: Do you want to?

Max: No thanks.

Sansa: Then I'll get more.

Soon she started drinking ketchup.

- I still don't understand. How can I eat ketchup without eating? It's just sauce...

Pov: Dr. Sans

Core Frisk: ... That's why I want you to keep an eye on him.

Dr. Sans: But why don't you tell him yourself?

Core Frisk: I don't want to put him in danger.

Dr. Sans: I see. And then who broke into my laboratory and left a note along with a fragment?

Core Frisk: Don't worry. He's our friend, but it doesn't matter now. The main thing is that Max is fine.

I looked towards the door where Max was.

Dr. Sans: Do you think he will want to stay in Omega timeline?

Core Frisk: It's up to him to decide. So try not to tell him about our conversation. When the time comes, he will find out about everything himself.

(Yes, I know this chapter turned out to be too boring. What did you expect? I'm a noob.)
