Soon, it dissapeared in the Ruins, near where Frisk first fell.

Toriel slowed to a halt, looking around briefly. "I think it's... gone?"
"Ribbit?"

then they saw a small flower move closer to them.

Toriel readied a pair of fireballs and glared at it. "You again?"

Flowey grinned at them. *hello, Toriel, and Frisk. Nice pet.* he said, flicking a vine at the Froggit.

"R-r-r-ribbit!" Froggit croaked irritatedly.
Toriel wasn't having it. "Why are you here? Unless it's a matter of urgency, kindly show yourself out. That isn't a request." She commanded, her demanor confident and imposing, reflecting the ancient ruler she was.

Flowey nodded, actually looking somber. Then he said softly, *heres the thing, you two. Frisk helped me open the barrier for you all. When she did, I became what I was before... this, for a little while, before it faded. But turns out, it didnt fade all the way.* he closed his eyes as his face transformed into Asreil Dreemurs. He looked up and whispered, *...Mom?*

Toriel took a step back in surprise, the fireballs fizzling out of existance. After a minute of that stunned silence, she glanced at Frisk, as if seeking confirmation, her expression both sorrowful and hopeful.

Frisk looked at her mom and said softly, *Flowey was your son, before he died, and Alphyss injected him with Detirmination. Apparetnly the souls of the monsters brought some feeling and love back into him. If this isnt a trick, your son is back.*

Asreil said softly, *this isnt a trick, I swear. Mom, I miss you.*

Toriel blinked, not sure if she fully believed it just yet, but she knelt down so that she was as close to eye level as a creature of her age and stature could get. "....Asriel, where have...?" She trailed off and swiped a tear out of the corner of her eye. "...Actually, that doesn't matter. I'm just... so happy that you are back..." She said, voice hardly above a whisper.
