[The ice in her voice makes him flinch. Not the confirmation that he is not a good person--the tone. He's only heard her have that tone when she talks about Asgore or Mettaton.]
[So he's finally sunk to that level, then.]
i know. it was wrong. at the time i thought it was the...not the right thing to do, but...i don't know. i thought they needed the warning. they could still change everything. they could start over and do it different. if they thought i was a threat then maybe they'd think twice. but i know better now. i didn't see them as a kid. i didn't think of it that way.
i'm only explaining this because i--don't--want you to hate me. even though you should. and it's easier if you do. i still don't...want it.
[Pathetic. He's pathetic, and all those other words she used. Disgusting. Despicable.]
[Stay away from my family.]
[He wants to give in. Just say okay, and have it be done. It's only right, isn't it? He's not safe to be around kids. He's not safe to be around anyone.]
[But...]
i...can't. i can't just...chara and i are helping each other. we--promised we'd help each other. i--won't just abandon them. not again. and isn't--
[No, no, no. He tries to fight down the words.]
isn't--
[No, stop.]
isn't that--hypocritical? you--i'm sorry, but--what you did might not be as bad as the rest of us, but you still--you kill frisk sometimes. and you let seven kids just walk out when you could have protected them. you--you asked a total stranger to protect the human, but only--only the seventh. not the other six. you knew what would happen, but seven kids still walked out of the ruins, and you didn't--do anything.
[Stop, stop, stop.]
you did nothing. you could have followed that first one out. asgore never would have--i can't imagine he'd try to fight you or anything. you've said how--
[Stop.]
you've said--before how--how you can't protect your kids, but you--you must have done everything you could for chara and asriel, but the rest--the rest, you brought that on yourself. you couldn't protect them because you chose not to.

[He feels like he's going to be sick.]
i'm sorry.
[Oh god, oh god, oh god.]
