| ALPHYS |
| The Royal Scientist of the Underground. Tries very, very hard to give everyone a second chance, except for herself. Loves easily, fully, and often to her detriment. Continues to be wildly afraid of her own potential. Alphys has done her best in her time in Entranceway to make friends with those who share her interests, and be honest about herself and her motivations. After figuring out about SAVEs and RESETS, she considers herself lucky to come from a 'good' timeline and has tried to spread that hope to those who aren't. She is working hard to move on from her past and to feel that she's earned everyone's forgiveness, though she slips and falls back into old habits quickly. Luckily, she has a stable group of friends and supporters to back her up when the going gets tough. Even though she easily fell into keeping many others' secrets, she's been doing a fairly good job at not creating, and perpetuating, her own. Still, she worries about her future, and her ability to keep the friends and relationships she's acquired. With more than a year in Wonderland now under her belt, and her darkest memories dragged out for the Mansion to see, she's experienced an outpouring of love- and perhaps, can finally start to put her past behind her. With this comes new resolutions, new hope, and a strengthened resolve to keep her friends close and be the kind of person she admires- the kind that can support them when they need it. |

[artist]
Alright, I'm on Johnson Avenue in San Luis Obispo
And I'm five years old or six, maybe
And indications that there's something wrong with our new house
Trip down the wire twice daily
I'm in the living room watching the Watergate hearings
While my stepfather yells at my mother
Launches a glass across the room, straight at her head
And I dash upstairs to take cover
Lean in close to my little record player on the floor
So this is what the volume knob's for
I listen to dance music
Dance music
Okay, so look, I'm 17 years old
And you're the last, best thing I've got going
But then the special secret sickness starts to eat through you
What am I supposed to do? No way of knowing
So I follow you down your twisting alleyways
Find a few cul de sacs of my own
There's only one place this road ever ends up
And I don't want to die alone
In the end, Wirt reminds herself a lot of her when she was about that age, and she'd love to be a voice of reason when she can- but she's also afraid their relationship might end up more like hers and Frisk's, where she leans on children too heavily. Still, she hopes they can find some common ground where both of them can talk and not be so nervous.
