Frisk punches her, really slugs her, and she's taken entirely by surprise as she's shoved backwards and disoriented. Fighting Frisk before didn't work like that. They're-- she's supposed to stop them, not this, not this--
The cut goes through Toriel, and she freezes, terror and pain gripping her throat and joints. Toriel is speaking, but all she hears is I knew there was nothing you could do before it's replaced with the thrum of her heartbeat, emotion in her veins.
Toriel falls apart, and she sees red.
Shepard surges at Frisk, all action and no play, grabbing them by the neck and pinning them back against the wall, teeth gritted. It's Kai Leng all over again, his horrible smile as his blade pulled from Thane's ribs, the man she still never caught, and she looks furious. No amount of fighting is going to bring Toriel back, but that doesn't matter right now. All she has is anger as her omni-tool activates, the blade sliding out from the top, and she surges in to strike.
And as Toriel's soul shatters, the scene freezes, and she's only got a moment to be in shock.]
