[ Luckily, he can, but this does not help his confusion at all... He had a picture in his mind for where the dead people were hanging out, but this is really throwing it off. ]
...There's a door to an ocean? [ he hopes that he's misunderstanding, though, since what does that even mean ]
[ God... He's tired. He's just tired, honestly, and Break sighs heavily as he reaches up to massage his brow. There's a pause, but he doesn't quite have another question to follow that up. ]
...I don't understand at all, so you're going to have to explain a bit more than that.
[Okay well first things first, Undyne is going to bring Break's hand up to his forehead so he can facepalm himself, because how exactly does he expect her to explain this when her methods are limited to vague writing and shoulder taps!!
But then she heaves out an enormous sigh and starts writing on his palm again. She starts with his right hand.]
[ This is at least easier to understand, and it gives him more to start with, because doors to the ocean... Come on, it's completely fair that you lose him at that part, gosh!! He murmurs each word as Undyne traces it out, but it gets him to frown by the end. ]
That's— [ Unexpected, actually. He had a better idea than most what was going on here, but that's new information. ]
The doors are showing up as people are killed this week.
[ That at least clicks, and Break frowns. He's thoughtful for a moment, but he nods slowly, though Undyne may not actually like what Break has to say. After all, it does imply that he knew that more people would be dying this week. ]
...It could be because they're sacrifices to the demons. They're different, somehow, but I didn't find out what the specific reason was. Just that it was necessary.
[ Considering he was expecting a punch to the face or something more violent, he'll pretty gladly take this option instead... He sighs, but nods. ]
All the demons have to take a sacrifice of their own to finish this, apparently, but that's about all I know. I... didn't know anything about doors, though.
[ Or that they really were that special. From what she had said, it had implied to him that it didn't matter much "who," though now he has to wonder how true that was. He sighs heavily and reaches up to rub a hand against his face tiredly. ]
It's one for each of the sins. So we still have quite a few more to go, unfortunately.
[Yeah. Just...give her a moment so she can go slam her head into the wall a few times. She'd punch him for not telling her any of this ahead of time, but she's pretty much treating Break like Sans now - aka fragile 1HP skeleton who she can't do violence to because they will probably die, so she just has to resort to hitting a wall and screaming!!
Once she calms down a bit, she'll come back and open up his right palm again.]
[ I mean, good, because he may not have 1HP, but he probably only has like, 5. He's delicate!! ]
Home?
[ He repeats that word in particular incredulously, since honestly, that portion of their dilemma had quickly become secondary to him. It had been his focus at first, certainly, but as soon as Gilbert had died, that had changed. At first, it was just abandoning the hope of returning at all, but with what he he been pulled into, it just became bringing back Gilbert first. From there, they could figure out the rest. It was no plan at all, but it was the best that they could do, or so he thought. ]
[HAHAHA SHE FUCKING WISHES because if that were the case she sure as hell would have started with that!! Instead she taps his right shoulder. Sorry to crush your hopes Break.]
[ Well, that would be too easy, he supposes. He sighs, and that hopeful surprise fades, but he nods. ]
Ah... If that's the case, then I can only guess the purpose based on what I'm familiar with. I don't know much about how the demons here work beyond what little I've been told in the past few weeks.
[She'll write another question mark on his palm, because she sure would like to know these details of how they work for when she has to fight one again!! And also his theory on what the doors are for, but mainly the fighting thing.]
Remember, this is only what I know from my world, and it may be quite different here. I'd recommend asking Gilbert if you have questions, since he can explain, and he can do so much more easily than this.
[ He waves vaguely to indicate the general ghost situation ]
But I would guess that those doors could be used to call more of their kind, perhaps. There's a similar concept with the Abyss and with Chains, since there are areas in my world where the Chains are able to cross over more easily. It's not a door, but that's what I could at least compare it to. I do know that Katerina is doing this for the sake of revenge, and not exactly against a singular person. It would stand to reason that she would need more. But I also assume that these demons are the ones in control. If they're similar to Chains like I've been imagining, then they have their own goals here too.
[ and lo and behold, he was right... chains and demons are assholes ]
[She sits in thought for a moment, then surprisingly taps his left shoulder for yes. Then she writes on his palm again.]
p e t
[She grimaces as she writes it because she hates using that word, but the actual explanation would take way too long and be way too complicated to write out.]
