[The feed opens up to the view of a young child, about eight or so years old, standing away at arm's length. The feed is slightly tilted, and there's a frown as the child reaches forward to adjust the position of the camera. When they're satisfied, they lean back to their original position and wave brightly at the camera. Hello everyone!

Frisk isn't sure where exactly this place was, but they do know it's not anywhere close to Mount Ebott or any place familiar. Being dropped into a completely foreign place with strangers isn't new to them though. It's strange seeing so many humans after a long period of having monsters as company, but they're not about to be deterred.

But back to the point. Frisk holds their left palm up and slides their right hand over it, outwards, then points their index fingers up with both hands and touches the hands together and finally points at the camera, making a sweeping motion from right to left. It's nice to meet you all.

They continue with their signing, making the hand movements a little slower than usual for clarity. They're not sure if anyone will understand them, but it's worth a shot.

It's a short statement. I'm new here, let's all be friends! Once they're done, they smile, and then end the video.]

[ Grey tilts his head, watching her with warm, curious eyes. She's a strange child, he decides. But then, he's strange too. Maybe he likes strange.

What he does not like is the way she'd seemed so unhappy. He signs again, quickly, backing up any word he doesn't know with his tattoos. ]

What is supposed to be different? Do you want it to change?

[ She looks as though she does, poor girl. ]

[They purse their lips, not wanting to reveal exactly what their former power did. But they couldn't not answer, so after a bit of thinking, they lift their hands up to sign.]

It was a power that let me help all my friends. But now it just makes me stronger.

[Sturdier is the word Frisk means.]

I want my old power back [There's a pause as Sans flashes into Frisk's mind.] ...but maybe it's better this way.

[ Grey always thinks it’s strange to meet someone who had powers before. He never did. He’s no stranger to powers being troublesome, though. ]

Sometimes they change. The porter changes them.

[ He doesn’t know a sign that represents porter. Door is about the closest he can think of, but he writes it on his skin anyway. ]

Why is it better this way? Did it hurt someone?

[Frisk looks down for a brief moment before lifting their head back up and signing.]

It was very powerful. It... did hurt someone. Someone close to me. I don't want to hurt them anymore.

[ Oh.

Grey's eyes flash with concern for her. He wouldn't like that, either. ]

You didn't mean to.

Were they okay?

I don't know. I hope so, but they are so tired.

[Frisk looks back down, dejected. They really didn't mean to cause harm, but they also know it's not solely them that has caused the pain. But still, they contributed, and the guilt was heavy on their shoulders.]

[ It's obvious that she's upset. Reacting to that, a frowning Grey is quick to shake his head. ]

You tried to help.
It's not your fault.

[ But in her place, he knows he would feel the same. Guilt is a hard thing to be rid of. ]
