After hearing the emergency call, Asriel wasn't quick enough to try and help. He's not sure if there's anything he could do to help, but by the time everything was over, Papyrus was taken to the medbay.

It wasn't too long before Asriel went straight to the medbay to see if Papyrus was okay. When he found him still asleep, he waited patiently in a nearby chair.

As Papyrus wakes up and starts talking, relief washes over him. No death. Not this time.

"Not very long. How are you feeling, Papyrus?"
