Alphys had been gnawing at her fingers for a while now. It had been an hour since Undyne had left to stand guard and protect everyone from the human. From Hotland on, the Underground was devoid of people. They hid as best as they could in the inescapable cave. She lay her head on her computer desk, feeling hopeless.

The human struck her and she stood in shock for a second; They were much more powerful than she'd imagined. Knowing Alphys was watching, she threw on a brave face.

The monitor let out the soft farewell Undyne gave to her, this throwing Alphys over the edge. She was shaking, her computer chair rolling away from the desk as she slammed her fist on it, sending papers to the floor.
