Undertale is one of those genius games that lures you in with its cute aesthetic and quirky characters before blindsiding you with heartfelt moments. It's a superbly written game that can get you in your feelings with only a few words. That's why it's no surprise this well-placed line cuts so deep. 

During the early stages of Undertale, you can walk around the lovable Toriel's house and look into a mirror. If you do so, the text "It's you!" will pop up. Isn't that just adorable? But there's no way this will come back later in some massively profound moment, right? 

Wrong, it totally does. 

In the latter stages of a non-genocide run, where you choose to avoid harming every opponent in the game, you'll find yourself in Asgore's home. The option to look into a mirror presents itself once again. But this time, you're greeted with the words, "Despite everything, it's still you."

This one sentence captures all the work, struggle, experience, and emotions of the Undertale journey in a neat little package. If you can see this prompt and feel nothing, you've probably got a stone in place of a heart.
