Probably because she just had this exact conversation with Frisk. Where she got very, very upset, and only calmed down because she just can't yell at a sad child like that.
Sans is not a child. And as she's listening to him go on, her fists are clenching, her gaze is narrowed, and honestly... she looks more furious than he's ever seen her before. In fact, once he's done, she raises one of her fists and takes a step towards him like she's going to hit him- and then stops, lowering it back down.]
...If you did not have 1 HP, I would hit you right now, Sans. How dare you. How dare you.
I did everything I could for those children. I took them into my home. I tried to be their mother. I tried to give them a happy life, but none of them were satisfied by that, and I was not going to make them a goddamn prisoner. I told them the risks, I begged them to stay, and they refused.
What do you want me to do beyond that? Go out there with them? Fight against my own people? They think humans are the enemy, thanks to Asgore. They did not listen to me when he first declared war, they were not going to listen to me after that. Monsters would have treated me as a traitor, and would have stood against me. Even if I had convinced Asgore, do you think the people would be okay with that? He had already lit a fire beneath them, made them hate humans and made them crave freedom. A King can only be in power so long as the people listen to him, Sans, that would not have been the end of it!
Frisk already told me so, so do not tell me I am just speculating! In timelines where Frisk was not as perfectly nice as they could be, where they did not personally show people that humans were not all bad, I tried to take over after Asgore died, and Undyne chased me out and forced me back to the Ruins.
The only way I could have ever protected any of those humans outside of the Ruins, was by fighting other monsters, and I could not do that. I would be killed, because I would be unwilling to kill them, and I will not have you tell me I did not do enough because I am unwilling to murder people. I will not listen to you tell me that, Sans.
