Asriel smiled and wrapped his arms around Frisk in return. He closed his eyes and rested his chin on their shoulder. He liked this. It felt nice. It wasn't as emotional as their first hug but it was still comforting. Asriel felt himself relax. He would do this. He could face Chara and the others in this place. It was funny how a single hug could help him feel stronger. It made him feel like he didn't have to FLEE. He just had to stand his ground and ACT.

Just like Frisk and Chara did.

"Thank you, Frisk."
