[oh. whoops.]

you didnt see the post did you
it was my professor's husband

[skelebro]

due to a small case of death?
no.

[He has no energy for this. Goddamn. Someone else he genuinely liked turns out to be a killer.]

so, what?
your double takes after you?

[iustitiae]

i'm sorry

[he didn't kill sam keating, but he lives on the guilt of participating in the aftermath so he doesn't even try to fight the accusation.]

yeah he takes after me

[skelebro]

[Great. That's fantastic. He liked this guy, too.]

well i can give you this.
he was a lot less likeable.
even if you're apparently both murderers.

[iustitiae]

you're a way better person than me sans

[skelebro]

i doubt that.



was it just the one

[iustitiae]

[hes surprised about sans' reply, given how he's taking the murder thing]

no
other people have died because of that night
because they're around us

[skelebro]

any of them kids?

['Cause if not, Sans is, uh, ahead of you there.]

[iustitiae]

no. no kids.

[skelebro]

then nobody's better than anyone.

[iustitiae]

wait what
did you kill a child?!

[skelebro]

i can tell myself it was for a good reason all i want.
'cause i had to.
'cause there was no other choice.

it's always just an excuse.

[iustitiae]

who the hell did you kill

[skelebro]

good question.

[He'd laugh, but it's not very funny.]

it was one or both of 'em.
hell, i didn't even know there was two kids in one body 'till they both showed up here.

[iustitiae]

You killed someone who is here?!

[now he's just angry - angry that sans made him feel like shit for not actually killing someone (did sans tho? was that not really just his own guilt?) when sans himself had killed a child]

[skelebro]

ain't like we got an overabundance of children here.
you're a smart guy.
you can probably figure it out.

[iustitiae]

what the fuck happened

[hes seen sans' magic - via his double, of course - he knows now, that theres more to sans than meets the eye but. he wouldntve have expected this.]

[skelebro]

does it matter?

long story. lots of dead people.
one of those situations where they'd say it's a "kill or be killed" type of deal.

not a damn thing i say would make any of it right.

[iustitiae]

you killed a child

[at least sam keating was trying to kill rebecca. and was also an awful manipulative asshole]

[skelebro]

yep.

[And that's the thing. He'll just stand there and take it, 'cause it's what he utterly and completely deserves. Frisk? Frisk forgives him. Chara? Ain't like they hate his guts for it anymore.

Guess someone's gotta take up the mantle.]

and that's why i figure i can't judge ya any more than you've already judged yourself.

[iustitiae]

shut up its not the same thing

[skelebro]

no?
then enlighten me.

spoilers!

[iustitiae]

i didnt mean to kill sam keating
it wasnt even me it was wes
and sam keating wasnt a child he wasnt innocent he was trying to choke wes' girlfriend
she wouldve died

you killed a child
an actual child

[ironically, this is probably the only thing that would get him to actually defend himself. otherwise, he'd be right there with sans but the fact that sans tries to compare them is just enough to get him to actual fight back]

[skelebro]

[One of those other kill-or-be-killed situations, then. All he can do is take note of that with a sorta empty distance. He's at the point where he can't condone killing, but maybe - hey, maybe he can understand it.

Or maybe he would, if Chara hadn't just taken a knife to his best friend and set things back to their beginning.]

i didn't say "innocent," pal.
'cause they weren't.
