Reapertale: The Reaper Finds Love

Kindness in a Dead Soul

"Where did paps put that spaghetti. He always has spaghetti in the fridge. There isn't any ketchup or mustard either. Darn well maybe Grilby will have something. He did open up that dinner not to long ago." I had gotten to the fridge papyrus used to put the spaghetti in and didn't find any so I was going to grilbys for some grub.

Only when I arrived there he was closed. It was one am in the morning after all. That's when I saw that kid pass by again. "Hey kid how did you get here?" I asked flatly.

"I walked Mr. Reaper. Simple as that. Did you expect something or someone else to walk past when you only saw me a few hours earlier. Not that it matters. I am only passing through and since you seem to be looking for food I'll give you this." She reached into her pack. I hadn't seen that when I first meet her in the woods. Finding whatever it was she walked over to me.

"What are you doing kid?" She held out her hands to revile a pie. The pie was a light brown color and wrapped in a plastic covering.

"Toriel gave it to me but I don't eat food very often so I thought I'd give this to you. It will go to waste otherwise."

"Put it down kid. I can't touch you. If I do you'll die-"

"Nonsense." She took my hand and put the pie in it. I was amazed. She touched me and didn't die on the spot. I think a blue tint was on my cheeks as I looked up to thank her but she was already gone.

"Just gave me Tories pie... well I guess it would be okay just this once." I walked back to the house and got a fork from the drawer. Taking the wrapping off of the pie I could smell the butterscotch. "Tori.. you still make these. Well I guess they are your favorite pies. Cinnamon butterscotch pies were your specialty after all."

That kid gave me Tories pie. I mean I guess it was obvious I knew Toriel but this is weird. And what did they mean by they didn't eat often. I guess they mostly are if they felt like it since they couldn't die. Or maybe were already technically dead.

'My research on the soul hasn't reviled anything. The host of the soul doesn't feel physical pain but emotional so they learned to lock away all of their feelings making them.. basically a zombie. They don't eat anything I try to feed them. They grow thinner with each meal they don't eat but they don't seem to care that their body needed the food. Yet they don't die even when starving.

I've come to the conclusion that hunger is also a emotion they locked away into their subconscious. When the child sleeps they have terrible dreams now. They stopped sleeping. They sit in the same spot in the room for hours they don't blink or breathe. They just sit and stare at the wall. When they come into contact with a monster. The one they call their brother, Asriel they lighten up a lot. They sleep well they eat. They laugh, but when he is gone it all goes away. It's like he opens a gate maybe. Or keeps them sane. That must be it.

If they have one person that they can show emotions around they are sane. When they are gone they are basically a zombie. No feeling no anything. I have Asriel come to the lab daily no to run tests on their soul when it is emotional. And I can see they feel pain. Now when poked and prodded where as before they did not feel anything.

So I told them to tell Asriel their nightmares just to see what they would say. They never told me. When speaking with Asriel I learned what the nightmares were about. I can't write them down in the research because... honestly if what they say is true then I can't let Asriel visit as often as I would like.

I've made a huge mistake. I had Asriel stay the night with them for two nights and now both he and the human are dead. I'm not sure how or what happened but I think that Asriel took the humans soul and it was to much power and incinerated them. The lab blew up and so I can no longer continue this research but I did learn one thing. That soul is dangerous. It essentially has unlimited resources and no reaper can take the soul by force.

They can make any object they wish. Chara chose to make knives and went crazy. They started to kill other humans before I hid them away in my lab. If anyone runs into a mother one of these souls they should be wary. The child can lose controller of their emotions at moments and become insane. I was working on a cure but with them gone I can not check my work. It could potentially do more harm than good. I will enclose the kindness injection as well as a few others in the packets. I believe that I was close to what I needed.'

So the kid really can't be killed but this one was. It also doesn't say much about the soul itself just how the kid was. This one seems to act similar but is also not. The question is who is the person that will effect the kid in that way. "When I saw them their face might as well have been an angel statue."
