[It didn't feel like enough time, even when he woke up. Which itself is odd, the idea that you have any sense of time while you're dead. It wasn't like that before, either--that first time. It was just darkness, and then waking up, and knowing time must have passed, because that's how it works.]
[He had to check a calendar and the network a few times to make sure. He's...early. A day early, give or take a few hours. It doesn't make any sense. He's never heard of people coming back early. He remembers that post that Frank made awhile ago, about someone coming back to life at the wrong time, but he never found out what the context was. He has no idea what this could mean. But it's something to think about, at least, something that isn't caves and screaming and bugs in his skull.]
[He's been lying in his bed, staring at the ceiling since he got back. Hasn't really moved. Doesn't move much at all until he hears a knock at the door.]
[Papyrus, of course. And he can't help the swell of relief, that Papyrus didn't just...disappear while he was gone. He'd been terrified that first time, too. Shot awake and started calling for him, chest tight like it was going to cave in.]
[He's gonna have to tell him, isn't he. Gonna have to actually say the words. Never mind that he's back early and what that could mean, this is...this isn't a secret he can keep.]
