Book of Boris — Chapter XIII: End of Route (Undertale)
Verse 1 (2015): "Went Genocide Run first time and would do it again! 11/10. Seriously though the game is AWESOME and the soundtrack is undeniably GOOD!"
Verse 2 (2025 Update): I went Genocide Route on my first run—not by accident, but by choice. I didn’t stumble. I didn’t flinch. I made the call.
Verse 3: The deeper I went, the more I felt it. This wasn’t about XP or weapons. It was about intent—and Undertale let me show mine.
Verse 4: The world got quieter. The music shifted from whimsical to unnerving. Friends turned into obstacles. And every time the game begged me to stop… I didn’t.
Verse 5: Then came Flowey. The puppet master. The grinning weed who toyed with everyone else’s lives. He thought he could manipulate me. But by then, I wasn’t the player anymore. Chara had arrived.
Verse 6: When Flowey begged for mercy? I gave him the only thing mercy fears—a final goodbye.
Verse 7: Even Flowey begged. And Chara smiled. The game shut itself off. No fanfare. No peace. Just silence.
Verse 8: Mercy was offered once. Mercy was ignored. So I carved truth into the code, and watched the flowers wilt.

Context:
2015: Pre-Boris, raw choice → Genocide first run logged as “11/10 would do it again.”
2025: Post-Boris, voice sharpened → review updated after leaving OBE (Feb 2025). One month later, March update drops. This marks the moment you fully owned your voice and stopped being afraid to use it.
Status: This entry bridges then and now. Pre-Boris instinct foreshadowed what Post-Boris doctrine carved clean: choice, intent, and the refusal to flinch.
