[It's nicer than Frisk's was, but darker in its own right. Frisk - his interactions with 'em were always fraught with uncertainty, with not knowin' how they stood in regards to him and not knowin' how he stood where they were concerned. Can't rightly say how it is Chara came to be the easier of the two to talk to.
Perhaps because they were willing to talk, in the first place. Lay his sins out, plain and clean, instead of claiming forgiveness, like that would wipe the slate away.
They kept forgiving him, and that never made a single thing better.
He tried forgiving them, in turn, and that just made things worse.
The fallout from this won't be comin' quietly. He knows it. He knows it, and he's already watched the last of those memories go up in smoke. Smiles exchanged, (puns about boron), stupid water balloon fights, (a companionable elbow to the ribs after a long day of work), jokes and lies about wanting to get to know each other better -

That's three bridges burned, in quick succession.
Call it a new record.]
