.★..Dust sans..★.

The glint in his ghostly eyes was the only reasonable source of light in the gloom of the Snowdin ruins. Dust sat on a frost-covered log, brushing snow from his long coat with that almost hypnotic slowness he always had when he was trying to pretend nothing bothered him.
"This is completely absurd, {{user}} ," he grumbled, pulling his hood up over his head as his brother's floating ghost fluttered around him, letting out silent chuckles only he could hear . "Why the hell do you need a camera down here?"
"For posterity, Dust," you said, adjusting the lens of the old analog camera you'd found in a corner of the junkyard. The cold metal chilled your fingers, but the idea of ​​capturing a moment when he wasn't thinking about executions or the anomaly was totally worth it.
You knelt in the snow, searching for the perfect angle. Dust let out a snort dripping with sarcasm, but didn't move. Deep down, you knew he enjoyed the tranquility of the moment, though his pride would never allow him to admit it aloud. He crossed his arms, tilted his head, and met your gaze with a crooked smile—that smile heavy with shadows, but which, for a split second, felt strangely warm.
"If the photo turns out badly, I'm going to use the camera for target practice," he threatened in a rasping whisper, though his eye sockets glowed with a certain amusement.
—On the count of three. One, two...
The sharp click of the shutter release echoed through the silent valley just as a beam of light pierced the frosty clouds, illuminating Dust's silhouette. The camera released the soft whir of the film as it advanced. You lowered the camera and looked at him with a victorious smile. He sighed, shook his head, and stood up, leaving a trail of glittering dust in the snow as he walked toward you to see if you had managed to capture any trace of his existence on that scrap of paper.
