W5; late late Friday night, after the afterparty and everything is all over and cleaned

[journalname]

I am sorry I did not call you today after the trial, Transmitter. I found myself very busy.

Would you like me to send you the recipe for butterscotch-cinnamon pie? It is not the real recipe, only what I can recall, but I feel bad that you could not have any. I am not sure if you will have any time to make one either, but maybe someday.

Let me know whenever you get this, if you are not awake. [He thinks that since there's no talking in text messages, it works more like an answering machine and the phone won't ring for this and wake her up. Otherwise he would not have texted at this hour. Oops.]

[transmittable]

[ It should be to Asgore's surprise then that he gets a very speedy response! ...Seems she's still up, teenagers, right? ]

100% awake here.

you don't have to worry about calling me after. i know you had a lot to do. i'm not fantastic at baking but with a recipe maybe i could. sure, i would love to have it.

[ ... ]

how are you?

[journalname]

[Well, he never got a chance to raise teens.]

There are many things I do not have to do, Transmitter.

I will send it along, then!

[INSERT A FUNCTIONAL BUT NOT ENTIRELY CORRECT BUTTERSCOTCH-CINNAMON PIE RECIPE]

I am

[.....]

I suppose you know that Wesker and I were friends

[transmittable]

[ how dare you hurt me ]

i do. i know of everyone here, you were one he thought most highly of. you still consider him a friend?

[journalname]

I do not know. I do not consider him an enemy.

[transmittable]

i didn't think you would. it's just something i had to make sure of.

i imagine it's not a popular opinion.

[journalname]

No.

I do not know if I can still call him a friend. But I do not think I would turn him away if I met him again somehow. That feels wrong, after what he told me he had done to his world, but I do not think I would feel any better about shunning him.

[transmittable]

[ That stops her for a moment, it seems, as there's a noticeable pause. ]

he told you? i didn't think he'd leave that for you. i suppose he keeps surprising me, even now.

[journalname]

Yes. He left his secret to me, as well as a letter which explained much more.

Did he surprise you before? I suppose he must have, if you knew about his past from the beginning. It is as if we approached him from different directions - all of this has surprised me, after how I knew him before.

[transmittable]

wow. i'm glad that he told you, at least. i can't say the specifics, but we talked some about what you could think.

he surprised me in what seems like occasional concern and enjoyment of our conversations. maybe it got me to let my guard down a little. maybe he was intending that, maybe not. i'm angry for how things ended up, but the more i think about it, the more i'm angry at myself more than anything.

[journalname]

Do not be angry at yourself for something like that. There is no shame in opening up to others.

[There's a short pause, as if he wasn't sure quite how to put this next sentence.]

If he chose to abuse that, then that is his doing.

[transmittable]

i wouldn't say he abused it. he just knew how to game the system, so to speak. i'm angry at myself for not catching it sooner, but at the same time, i don't know what i would've done, or what i would've been permitted to do. even the risen aren't fond of a zombie outbreak, but the rules are the most important thing to them.

[ That aside... ]

you were "closer" to him than i was in the sense of personal things. you were someone he liked. i'm sure he explained that though as well.

[journalname]

In his own way, yes. I think he may have been uneasy with it - not with me in particular, but with liking others in general. He seemed to have no true personal connections in his world.

Though he did leave a letter for a name I do not recognize. I have not opened it, though I am very uncertain I shall ever be able to deliver it.

[transmittable]

should you be unable to, i will take it into my own hands.

[journalname]

Thank you.

[..........]

I wrote letters to Toriel, in my first weeks here. I think it would be best if those were not delivered.

[transmittable]

you don't think you should write new ones? even though things have changed.

[journalname]

I do not think she would care to receive them.

[transmittable]

she was still your wife for a long time.

[journalname]

That did not change anything.

[transmittable]

despite everything, i think she would still want to know what's become of you. especially if

if something goes wrong.

[journalname]

I know where she has gone. The Underground is not large enough to truly disappear. But somehow I doubt I will remember speaking to her again.

She took Chara's body with her. She said I should not dare call them my child.

[transmittable]

[ Pause. ]

i'm sorry, asgore.

[journalname]

[Longer pause.]

Thank you.
