Wh-What?
[She uncovers her eyes, though she stays put on the floor, staring up at the ceiling in their sort of general direction, but afraid to look at them and see them when they inevitably tell her they're lying.]

[But the thought that even dead monsters could be here... Even Asgore, Alphys, and Mettaton... The thought that her stupid, unfunny joke could've come true is too much hope all at once. She's afraid of the feeling in her chest, SOUL beating hard.
She doesn't want to feel like this and have it be untrue.]
Asgore... is here?
[She doesn't mention Alphys. She doesn't want confirmation on Alphys at all. She's too afraid of what the answer might be. She can't take losing her all over again.]
