[They found a stack of cards written a long time ago. A month ago, they think. There's a post-it note stuck to the top, cheerfully proclaiming - "for Thanksgiving!"
They suppose they should hand them out. There's a...a twinge of something when they look at the topmost one. The one that should go to the bed beside them. The empty bed. Their SOUL starts to...ache.
They swallow. They swallow very, very hard. Screw their eyes shut, blink rapidly. Something's off. Something's different.
They feel...empty. Not empty like they have before.
Worse empty.
They have to make it go away. So they make it go away the only way they can think of. They hand the notes out. Maybe if they do that, it'll go away, and they can feel nothing again. Go back to feeling nothing at all.
So on Thanksgiving Day Alphys will find a card awkwardly slid under her door.
On the outside:]
[And within:]
"Dear Alphys,
You're the first person I told about RESETs who didn't already know. I know you don't always think you're the greatest person, but you're wrong. I know you try your hardest. You're my family. That means I look out for you and protect you, even from yourself! XP
So I forgive you! You say you don't deserve to be forgiven, but you do.

It goes up in her room, with her anime figurines. She wants to see it every day.]
