Kris's family had not been picture perfect. Their home was with their mother, but their mother had her own issues. Namely, after Toriel's divorce with Asgore, Kris had struggled with their own resentment of the act. Their parents were supposed to love each other and never be apart, weren't they? Being a child, they had never fully understood quite why it had all happened, just that it had. But their family hadn't abandoned them. Really, they had turned their back on their family. Asriel loved them, and they had turned him away, and it was the same with their parents. Kris didn't quite know how to reciprocate. They were the weird kid, after all.
They were not hurting, though. Or at least, not for those reasons. They had accepted that that was how their family had to be. The kitten was fine with it. Their family was gone now, anyway.
They had been following Billie around for a little while now. The panthress had been a sort of rock since they had joined, whether she knew that or not- they knew that they could get home as long as they could see her, so they'd taken to exploring at a small distance away until she said something. Then they would stop, But until then, they were an adventurer. They had been attempting to lift a heavy log to see what was underneath when they heard the hurried footsteps of an angry feline marching away from where they were. Kris poked their head out of the foliage to determine just where Billie was running off too. They could hear the heat of resentment in her pawsteps. Kris followed quietly, trying to see what she had in her mouth, but when they did they wished they hadn't.
The golden locket had sent a shard of memory through their brain. For a moment everything was red and painful and fighting and they wanted to yell, but then it was over, and they were left with a fresh hollowness in their chest. But then it was gone, sinking beneath the surface of the water. They hadn't meant to get so close to Billie- that was their own mistake, they supposed, but it was okay -but the sight of the locket was as intriguing as it was repelling. It drew them in. They couldn't tell why. Kris stared after its shadow until they could no longer see it in the black water.
They turned their secret gaze up to the panthress. Why had she done that? What was wrong with her family? Their head cocked with the unspoken questions.
"SPEECH"
