You decided not to help Anti.

Anti sees something change in your eyes. "(y/n)?"

You look at him, and your eyes grow dark. Then you look down at the key in your hand, then toss it aside. Away from the door.

"(Y/n) what are you doing!?"

You stare at him coldly. "The real enemy is the man who forced himself into my body..."

"No-!"

"Tortured and brought pain to me for months on end...!"

"(Y/n)-"

"And wants to take me away from a life where I could be happy and alive with Darkiplier!"

That last line slaps Anti with a look of realization. He knows exactly what's happening. "You drank his tea..."

"He was the one who ever cared for me! He provided safety and comfort when you just have me headaches!

"(Y/n), you're in a trance. His tea-"

"I don't give a shit about his tea! He loves me and you can just go burn in hell!"

You turn to leave. You want to see Dark. Anti still calls back to you. "He never cared for you!" But you keep walking on, away from him. You hear him mumble something, but you can just barely make it out. Something like, "unlike me." You don't look back, leave the dungeons, and head to Dark's office.
