Frisk nods, face twisted up in an expression of contemplation. They found it kind of odd themself, but it kind of made sense. If this world was ran on JRPG cliches, it only made sense for their limit break to be something more traditionally kickass. Granted, some games lived and breathed on messing with meta stuff, but reloading a save file as a limit break was just kinda weird. But there was another, less genre-aware option that probably made more sense. "Yeah, I've been thinking about it too, and I think I kind of have an answer?

"So, if have the metaphor of saving and loading like a videogame, we might as well extend it further. Some other people have figured out how to do similar things; stuff that they could do back home, primarily. It's like... when we came through the Dream Width, we were imported into a 'new game,' one with different rules. And these melodies or whatever that people can use are the bonuses we get from importing saves from our old games into this one." Frisk takes a deep breath, twiddling their hands. "But my abilities aren't really... abilities, per se. It's more like I was, well, saving and loading game files back in the Underground. Not really something that makes sense in the context of this 'game' we're in right now as an in-game ability, which is what these melodies are supposed to be. So when it tried to import my save data, it ended up getting corrupted and changing to something else. Does that make sense?"
