I guess so. [Although...they can't say they want to know, really. Why Chara would turn around, demand the same thing from them that had gotten them killed so many times. Maybe they just wanted to teach Frisk a lesson- maybe it was just an eye for an eye.
They don't know. They really don't want to.
But they have time to figure it all out.]
...Yeah. Okay. [A shaky exhale. Don't have to be alone with this one.] Thanks Sans.
[No. 'Course they don't. They've had enough of people telling 'em how they've messed up, how they could and should be doin' better than they have, to last 'em a lifetime. Several lifetimes. Far too many, as a bottom line.
They turn to him. Outta necessity, maybe, or 'cause they simply don't know where else to turn. What the hell else can he do other than just - just try to be better than he has been?]
No. I know, kiddo. I don't think this one's on you.
[He doubts they'll believe him. But at least he said it.]
[Whatever they went through, Frisk went through it too. And they let it happen. Allowed it to happen. Made it happen.
Maybe not them, in particular, but a version of them. Chara's...Chara's real Partner. How they could ever put Chara in harm's way like that, Frisk doesn't know. It wasn't worth it. Or at least-
You can't control what it is they did back home. You can't -
[They wouldn't even have known, would they? They're not even from that sorta dust-stained path. They'd know if they were, even if he wouldn't. He thinks that, maybe, if they were there'd be an inkling - a reluctance to touch him, to let him hug them tight, to share their SOUL with him at all.
Can't know for certain. That's what he gets for not askin'.]

Don't want to do this alone. I don't-
Want to mess up again.

They know that now.]
I did this to them. I have to make it better.

You couldn't'a known, Frisk.
