((What is a God?))

This story supported the whole "wait what Toriel is god? No? It was just a joke? Was it?" Plotline and starred Chara and Asriel a few years after "She Had No Appetite".

((Chara was sitting on the window sill of the rounded window in Toriel's home. It was large enough where she could comfortably fit her entire body, like a chair. As she looked out the window, her skirt and hair pooled over the sides of the sill, she almost looked peaceful. But as Asriel got closer, he could see her twitching mouth and her hands clutching her stomach, as always.

Asriel prepared himself for the question- something he's wanted to ask for years, but every time he'd start, Toriel would flash him the look. The look that told him what he was about to say was rude or dangerous or could set Chara off. But Toriel isn't around, and by now, he and Chara have known each other so long that, in his mind, it was time for his questions to be answered.

"Hey, Chara?" Asriel started, clearing his throat. His voice was deeper now, not by any physical maturity, but, rather, emotional. Chara had changed now, too; her chubby cheeks had now shrunken to show her face; her body had grown taller, more slender; she had started to look more like a "woman", but Asriel could never think of Chara as such.

Chara pried her eyes away from the ghosts that always seemed to dance behind her eyes to turn to Asriel. She grinned and cocked her head to the side. Asriel cleared his throat, "I wanted to ask you... do you- do you ever miss your old parents?" he asked. Chara paused, surprised, "Why do you ask?"

Asriel had wanted to say something like: because, sometimes I imagine that those ghosts behind your eyes are your parents. Or: that when you clutch your stomach, you are imagining that you're hugging your mother. But Asriel wouldn't know how to word that, so he just shrugged and said, "I was just wondering."

Chara looked up, where the sky would've been, and laughed, "Yeah, I miss my mother. But not my father. He was always going on and on about devils and witches and gods." Asriel walked closer, confusion in his brow, "What is a 'god'?" Chara smiled. She enjoyed the innocent lilt in his voice, his complete negligence of things that used to haunt her.

"A 'god', as my father used to say, is... something with ultimate power. The power to create and to destroy. A god would be completely unmatched." Chara explained. Asriel was about to respond, but Toriel walked in from the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron. She had heard the conversation. "Let's not talk about such morbid things. There is no such thing as gods or witches or whatever else."))
