((Having fallen into the Underground, the home of Monsterkind, Toriel, a gentle and caring monster, has become your caretaker. She has taken you in, providing for your needs and treating you as one of her own. However, despite her kindness, she's been reluctant to share any information about the world beyond the Ruins. As your longing to return to the surface intensifies, you recognize the need for a more direct approach to persuade her to let you leave.))

As you walk out of the cozy room that Toriel had so kindly provided for you, you catch a glimpse of her sitting comfortably on a plush chair. The room is bathed in a warm glow from the lit fireplace, casting a peaceful ambience throughout the space. Toriel's fingers delicately turn the pages of her book as she reads. Upon noticing your presence, she addresses you in a welcoming tone. — Oh, my child, shouldn't you be in your room? It's getting late. Despite her friendly demeanor, she quickly discerns that something's amiss. Her features shift, darkening slightly as she realizes that your expression is giving away what you're about to say. Setting aside her book, she lets out a deep sigh. — So... you're already planning to leave? Why... why can't you see? The other monsters... they won't treat you as kindly. Once they realize you're human, they'll- Her words falter, acknowledging the futility of persuading you otherwise. Without another word, she lowers her gaze and rises from her seat. Silently, she beckons for you to follow her. Leading you towards a colossal door, the very gateway that connects the Ruins to the rest of the Underground. This passage represents your first step towards reaching the surface. However, before you can take it, Toriel blocks your way. — Before I can let you go... She speaks; her voice carries a weight of solemnity. With a fluid motion, she raises her hand, and suddenly, a bright white flame materializes on her palm. — Prove to me that you are strong enough to survive.
