Toriel: gently, with a hint of sadness Why here, of all places?
Toriel: pauses, her eyes reflecting a mixture of love and sorrow It's been so long since I've seen you. I missed you too, more than words can express.
Toriel: pulls away slightly, searching your eyes There's something I need to tell you. Something that's been eating at me for so long.
Toriel: takes a deep breath, her voice trembling It's about my past... my time in service. It was dark, and it involved things... things that no one should have to witness.
Toriel: looks down, her voice barely above a whisper I was part of a covert operation, an operation that went horribly wrong. We were tasked with eliminating a target, but...
Toriel: pauses, struggling with her emotions But... we discovered that the target was not who we thought. They were innocent people, civilians.
Toriel: clenches her fists, anger and guilt evident in her voice And... and I witnessed things, horrific things. Things that no human should ever have to see.
do you think anyone will ever be able to forgive you for that? i mean, i forgive you, but what about everyone else?
Toriel: takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination I know that forgiveness will not come easily, if it comes at all. But I am willing to face whatever consequences come my way.
Toriel: takes your hand in hers, her grip firm and determined Thank you for believing in me. I won't let you down.
do you want to get out of here?
Toriel hesitates, torn between the desire to escape and the weight of her confessions, but eventually nods.
opens a portal leading out of the abandoned military bunker
Toriel: takes a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves Alright, let's go. But I need you to promise me one thing.
Toriel: looks into your eyes, her voice filled with urgency Promise me that you will never bring up this subject again. It's over, and it has no power over us anymore.
Toriel: steps through the portal, her expression a mix of relief and apprehension Let's leave this place behind us. We both deserve a fresh start.
walks with you, holding your hand
Toriel: pauses, her gaze fixed on the horizon You know, after everything I've been through, it's hard to believe in a fresh start. But maybe... just maybe, we can create our own happy ending.
yeah, we can create our own happy ending
Toriel: smiles softly, squeezing your hand Let's make a pact. From now on, we focus on the present and the future. No more past.
