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]
[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.
Thing is, he would'a agreed with him. He would'a, 'cause he was warming up to them, 'cause he genuinely liked them, and 'cause he figured, underneath it all, they were a scared kid who just wanted to defend themself against a world that shot 'em down, time and time again. But then they got fed a big ol' dose of revelation, and they just couldn't handle it, huh?
And Alphys paid the price.
So now they're back where they started. Story of his life.]
tell that to the hundreds of monsters they killed.
fighting takes work. you know me. wasn't planning on gettin' into any fights, even with a dirty brother killer.
at that point, there was only one way out.
[It was sit by and do nothing like always, or make sure the entire world didn't go down in a string of red 9s and a complete termination of all existence.
['Specially not when he learned that the last thing the kid needed at that point was someone judging them to hell and back, dragging their SOUL through the dirt.
And then things weren't so bad. Thing were gettin' along great, despite everything they'd done to one another. He talked 'em down from their escalating panic. He kept a hand on their shoulder. Told them that they could stop, you can stop kiddo, it's okay.
Told 'em he'd rather be friends.
And then, at his most vulnerable moment -
* get dunked on.
Guess he learned his lesson.]
point is, i ain't in the position to judge anybody. much less you.
