Sam stared down at the [Soul Kingdom Teleportation Crystal] resting in his hand, then slowly lifted his gaze toward Undyne, Vyxen, and the soldiers standing around them.
They truly seemed willing to allow him into their kingdom, even though he was a stranger, a male, and a being they had feared for generations.
The realization felt strange.
It wasn't something Sam had expected, especially after everything that had happened between them.
[Perhaps it's a trap.]
The thought surfaced naturally, lingering in the back of his mind.
"Maybe..." Sam muttered quietly, his eyes flaring as aura leaked from his body.
He activated one of his abilities, choosing not to rely on instinct alone.
[Void Watcher: Your ability to kill the "Colossals" fuels them with hope. They think that perhaps you aren't that bad.]
Sam stared at the panel for a moment longer.
[Void Watcher] revealed intent without bias, and from what it showed, they genuinely did not wish to betray him.
Their hope was real.
