Summary
She could be so small, he marveled. She was a cat, sleek and windy. A mouse, whiskers perfect and round ears quivering. A moth, fragile and dusty. A caterpillar, wriggly and colorful. She almost disappears.
“Alex,” his mother chided, her voice low and hand tight around his upper arm, but if she wasn't looking at him it would've taken him a moment to know who she meant. She was scared, she’s terrified, her pupils are dots, even though they were just in the second last row of a near-empty greyhound bus. “Stop playing. Are you listening to me?”
In his hand, Marie turned into a pill bug and curled up tight. He closed his hand around her, making her disappear.

Summary
It's been a year since monsters first moved to the surface, and things are going relatively well, everything considered; even after their human ally, the one who freed them, suddenly chose to leave and go on their own path, they've found a way to make a name for themselves, more or less. There's just a small problem...
Frisk has gone missing. Even though they hadn't been directly influencing the monsters' integration with humans, they'd been at least a portion of it, simply because they still supported them in some ways. Without that, monsterkind doesn't have much to go off of, unless they're somehow able to convince the humans on their own.
It could be worse. It could also be better. It seems it always could be better, really.
Even so... Papyrus isn't willing to give up so easily.

Or maybe it was him that wasn’t connected to his body.
