Part 1.0 | Its Because I’m DETERMINED

The fire disappears behind me, and I see Toriel drop to her knees on the ground. A truly pitiful sight to see, though that's something to expect after reading those books, the ink is smeared by some signifying she was probably feeling this way for a long time… I couldn't even imagine.

I pressed the ACT button to check her stats, Toriel -> ATK (80), DEF (80) "Knows what's best for you." Her attacks are weak and faint, and they dodge me intentionally. I use ACT again to talk to her.

Polly: Toriel… From that strange flower, to traps, some Froggits, and practice to how to battle. I'm sorry you've wasted your efforts just for another child to leave the place, but I have to admit there isn't a lot of space especially for someone like me.

Toriel: Is this pity? Heh… That would make sense.

Mani: sheesh, that's a pretty depressive line. And look her turn is skipped!

I use the ACT button again to talk.

Polly: Without you, i've probably wouldn't never made it this far to be honest…

Toriel: …

Polly: Y'know, when I feel down here I didn't come here with memories of who I really was or anything before, and honestly i'm in the midst of gaining my memories. But, I did remember the feeling I had when I fell and they were filled with rage and loss of hope but by miracle I came to, and survived the huge fall. So anything I was feeling was of out my own will and lack of memory but despite that, who I was, what I was. You helped me, and that gave me more DETERMINATION and love that I'm sure I hadn't felt in awhile. 

Toriel: And your point?

Polly: I'm sure, the kids you tried to help in the past will have 100% forgiven you. As, I have right now, I bare no hatred against you. In truth, "we all love you, and thank you." I what I think they would say.

Toriel looks at me with dried tears and a glimmer of hope, she gets up. But as she does an option I wasn't able to use before reveals itself to me.

Toriel: Thank you, but I understand now. This would not be a good place for you to grow up in place like this. My Expectations… My Loneliness… My... Fear…

Just before the battle ends I use the button SPECIAL, as the requirements have been unlocked.

I ran up to her and give her a big hug and heal myself and the surrounding around us and at the same time I spare her using my SPECIAL.

Toriel: My child…? No, Polly…

Polly: Thank you, Toriel. You've done what you've can.

Toriel: … Thank you. Just for you, Polly, I will put my worries aside and only hope the best.

The surroundings go back to normal. And after awhile I let go. Toriel decides to give me a few parting words before I leave.

Toriel: Now that your leaving the RUINS. I will no longer try to stop you; however, when you leave… I kindly request of you to not come back… I hope you under-

Polly: No.

Toriel: … Eh?

Polly: I do whatever I want, being restricted is just not my thing. I respect you and love you, Toriel. But, if I want to see you. It would be like seeing my mother… Not that I really remember her… But you would be a great start! Otherwise, what's the point of me meeting you?

Toriel: … Fufu… Fair enough… Then, see you next time, my child?

I open the door to leave and exit saying, "Of course." The door slams shut behind me with a loud noise.

I continue walking up the stairs of the different colored sections of purple to light orange like a dusk color.

Mani: WHEW! Omg, That. Took. Soooooo. LONG... I felt like crying at the sob story, like, a gazillion times!

Polly: So, the darkness and sob stories are your weakness, checking that off.

Mani: Why? What are you planning…?

Polly: Nothing… Yet.

Mani: Shh! Polly look! Its Flowey!

As she is squeezing my face, I turn to look a Flowey at a flower bed, "planted" there smiling innocently but obviously exerting a ominous vibe from him. I focus up and pay attention to Flowey.
