i saw...

there was a ghost in your eyes. but it wasn't?....

i could.....

i could tell you didn't want to hurt me......

but i remembered the ghost, and i heard the ghost talk..... you both looked surpised when i responded.....


[another long pause]

i'm sorry....

[determinedest]

You remember Chara?

They're the other one. We decided to destroy everything. It was a joint effort.

We didn't expect anyone to recognize us.

........


..............why didn't you want to kill me?

[determinedest]

I did. But I also didn't. There's endless possibilities.

Everyone lives. Everyone dies. Some live, and some die depending on how we feel. Sometimes we fight for control Sometimes we both agree.

Because we're curious. Because we can, so we have to.

Because we're the type of people that won't ever be happy.

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

i don't understand...
even if you're not happy...
you shouldn't do that...

i'm never truly happy either.....
especially now that you killed him....

i'm going to wake up any second now...
and i'm going to have to keep living with the fact that you killed him....
he's dead...

and i never got to say goodbye....

any second now...

[napstablook knows how to wake themself out of nightmares. and this is definitely a nightmare. how could they be feeling bad for their cousin's murderer? Still angry, still scared, but pity? There's no way this could be real. Wake up, they tell themself, Wake Up!]

any....

any second now....

i....

[they can't. they're stuck.]

i'm sorry, i made this awkward...

i should have stayed offline....

[It's like watching a breakdown happen in front of their very eyes. What are they meant to feel? What are they meant to feel?]

Haven't you heard? He's here.

Mettaton.

He's here, and he's from a time where everyone got to the surface and was happy and content. He even forgave me. I told him I killed him and acted horrible, and he kept forgiving me!

[Why couldn't he just tell them they were wrong. Why couldn't he just humor them for two seconds?]

[rlynotfeelinup2itrnsorry]

he's .... here?

[Of course he's here. The human said earlier, what brought them back online was "you should talk to mettaton" But to see it written out... They couldn't care less about the time he was from. To hear that he forgave the child was easy to believe but hard to stomach]

he would....

{but he didn't see]

i'm.....

i cant forgive you....

not yet....

i'm,
i'm sorr y

[determinedest]

Don't be.

I wwouldn;t forgive me either

[Everything's fine.

It's perfectly fine and normal. It's fine. They should talk to their cousin. Bond. Reconnect.]

Go ta lk to your cousin
