Necroptosis is a programmed form of necrosis, or inflammatory cell death. Conventionally, necrosis is associated with unprogrammed cell death resulting from cellular damage or infiltration by pathogens, in contrast to orderly, programmed cell death via apoptosis. The discovery of necroptosis showed that cells can execute necrosis in a programmed fashion and that apoptosis is not always the preferred form of cell death. Furthermore, the immunogenic nature of necroptosis favors its participation in certain circumstances, such as aiding in defence against pathogens by the immune system. Necroptosis is well defined as a viral defense mechanism, allowing the cell to undergo "cellular suicide" in a caspase-independent fashion in the presence of viral caspase inhibitors to restrict virus replication. In addition to being a response to disease, necroptosis has also been characterized as a component of inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease, pancreatitis, and myocardial infarction.

Ok but like why tf doesn't just sans sit at his house with paps inside, doors locked and all boarded up instead of going thru this mental torture? Bro could just wait out the killing spree of the human, and it would always result for them in a neutral ending for not having enough exp.
My boy started slaughtering the entire Underground’s population, tearing Papyrus’ jaw off and lock him in the shed, continue slaughtering, smash Asgore’s head to cause him some braincells lost, tear off Flowey and probably blast him off and then resurrect both of them. This is truly an SP!Dusttale AU
