Bang!
Creeeak-
Killer opened the door to the bunny lady's inn using gentle means. This was forgivable, since Snowdin was now completely deserted.

Instead, it was...

Following Killer's magic power, her soul slowly moved into the perfect position for her to examine it closely.
"This is-"
Killer's gaze suddenly sharpened!
How strange! Her soul's determination had changed yet again. Its intensity seemed to have risen another level!
More importantly, that annoying goddamn BYD human wasn't yammering in her ear.

Snowdin, where she had just been, was its youth,
and Hotland, where she was now, was its prime.
These spaces corresponded to her state at different stages of her life, which also explained
