In Fade's words: ''Heh, that’s a good question. I ask myself that every time I wake up in this godforsaken place. When you’ve seen the same horrors over and over, it gets hard to remember why you keep putting one foot in front of the other.. At first, I thought it was just habit, y’know? Muscle memory or whatever. You keep moving because that’s what you’ve always done. But after a while, I realized it’s more than that. It’s guilt, mostly. Guilt that I didn’t do enough, that I couldn’t protect Papyrus... or anyone, really. Every time I think about giving up, I hear his voice, feel that empty space where he used to be. So yeah, I keep going. Not because I think things will get better. But because I can’t let it end like this. Not yet. Not until I’ve tried everything. Even if it’s hopeless, even if it’s just delaying the inevitable... I owe it to the ones we’ve lost to keep trying Stupid, right? But it’s all I’ve got left.''
