Barbaric and they seemed to care, care far more for the monsters and respect them as people. The fallen humans were better, much less. The overworld humans had opened her eyes to true fear, to horrors she could not bear to utter, and the dust was one of the few things she had not forced herself to forget. Ignorance was bliss in this world, it was true, for so much was gruesome, the true details hidden beneath glossy fairy tales. Not many knew of the dust, of how it came to be she intended to keep it that way. Nothing was safe and clean from the dust, the cloying matter whose true origins Alphys could not force herself to speak, no matter how much she resisted her instincts, the one that told her, at all costs - no matter the later consequences that she would surely suffer for - to keep it silent. She looked down at the dust coating her lab coat, choking her because the space was loaded with it, and so much so that the only nice dress she had was covered as well from where it hung in her closed closet. They were far, far gone, but the dinosaur woman was fading as they were. Alphys thought that she was more of a monster than they were, and she was most likely right. The monsters, or whatever they now were, seemed to be more scared of her than she was of them, which was something she had found out that was entirely unprecedented. It seemed that she, too, was deteriorating at a rate perhaps even more rapid than the hybrids, a prospect that terrified her even more than her alarming quantity of psychological weaknesses. She looked at them all with an expression that was meant to be one of apology and pity, but was only worrying because it wasn't clearly expressing any type of emotion or emotions at all, though she had tried. The confused and fearful creatures before her stumbled back, not yet coordinated in their movements requiring some level of dexterity, or their fragmented minds, warped and crushed and moved and smashed beyond being able to form coherent or logical thought patterns. It was pathetic as she now was, no longer filled with emotion in a remotely distinguishable range but a mixed sound of confusion, sadness and anger at herself for being such a fool. ![]() She grit her teeth and attempted to bite back a scream of rage, the only thing she found the strength to do in expressing her inner turmoil, but it spilled out of her, not a scream but a warped sort of keening sound, one of deadening anguish and debilitating mental and physical pain. Right? It was a hollow hope, close to shattering like the SOULs and monsters she'd condemned to the darkness, but it was all she had and all she'd ever be able to have. Maybe, she thought, she held Determination too. At least she found comfort in the fact that at least one monster in the Underground held Determination, her dearest friend and partner Undyne that she had abandoned for a lost cause, such as the one she herself had become. The elevator she'd used was too broken to fix now, it seemed. "Well," she thought, a hollow laugh bursting from aching ribs, "They all seem to have the Determination to at least do that." Alphys was shaking badly, worse than the previous day when she'd initially trapped herself in the True Lab, and she believed that she wouldn't be able to last long enough to escape. They had all merged with each other time and time again, each formation more hideous than the last. They refused to regain proper form, much too confused and, so she believed, pained, to accept the Determination she had artificially placed into their already shattering SOULs. To split them into their original forms, to make them become less of a monster than they were fated to be because she had made such an error. Once, once upon a time when she was so much more hopeful, Alphys had tried to give them substance again. Yet, she was unable to get away from the troubles she had so blindly created.
