How much longer now...? My... UNDER SWAP RE TOLD

*you know... *sometimes i wonder, if i could go back to that moment... *what would i do? *...well, truth be told... *i'd like to think i'd kill those humans, but... *i don't think i have it in me, haha...! *so i guess... *i'd say i'm sorry.  *and i'd say thank you. *and i'd say i miss you... but i'm not sure i should.

[As you reach Heritage, the long forgotten ex-capital of the underground...]

[You start to see things.]

[A figure that was previously unclear now reveals itself.]

* (Suddenly, the memories are flooding back).

* ...A long time ago, a human fell into the capital.

* Injured by their fall, they called out for help.

* That was when I heard them for the first time.

* Having heard the human's call, I brought them back to the royal castle.

* Over time, the human and I became like siblings.

* The Queen and King even treated them as their own child.

* The underground was full of hope.

* The underground was full of dreams.

* ...Then... One day...

* The human became very ill.

* As they slowly decayed, they had only one request.

* They wanted to see the flowers from their village.

* They wanted to reach the surface again.

* That... was impossible.

* The surface can't be reached without immense power.

* The next day...

* ...

* The next day, the human died.

* ...But this was already expected.

* Their death was just part of a premeditated plan.

* A plan to break the barrier definitively, by getting seven human SOULs.

* They wanted me, the prince, to absorb their SOUL and cross the barrier.

* And so I, wracked with grief, put our plan into practice.

* We merged into a being with incredible power.

* With the SOUL in my body, we went through the barrier.

* I carried their corpse into the sunset.

* Back to the village they desired to see.

* Back to the village they desired to burn down.

* We reached the center of the village.

* I searched for the flowers they mentioned.

* And just as I had found them...

* Suddenly, screams rang out.

* The humans, having seen a beast carrying a dead child...

* They must've thought I killed them.

* The humans attacked the beast with everything they had.

* My body was struck with blow after blow.

* I couldn't hold it together anymore.

* I had the power to KILL them all.

* But... I didn't.

* I didn't fight back.

* All I wanted was for them to be safe.

* I took them back with me as I fled, betraying our plan in the process.

* As I grew weaker with every step...

* I smiled at them.

* Heavily wounded, we made our way back home.

* I entered the castle, and carried their corpse onto the golden flowers inside.

* Then, I collapsed inside my own house.

* ...All hope was lost.

* The kingdom then fell into despair.

* The royal family had lost its two children that rainy night.

* A tragedy that would paint the humans irredeemable to the underground.

* As the King carried the prince's SOUL, preserved in a glass container...

* The Queen, struck with desperation, screamed out to her people.

* She said that any human who dares fall down into the underground...

* Shall die.

* The monsters seek to fulfill this royal announcement.

* Even after the Queen isolated herself due to sheer shame.

* It's not long now.

* The monsters only need one SOUL more to be free.

* They'll finally save themselves, won't they?

* ...Hee hee. How silly.

* I know you can prove them wrong.

* You should be smiling too.

* We will all find a way to be free.
