It's surprising. But then he thinks about it and...it's not so surprising. Especially when they explain it. They're supposed to make it simple. And nothing is simple here, nothing has been simple for years now. They want to fix it. They want simplicity.

They don't want the fallout. The consequences. Who ever really does?

He gives a quiet sigh, digging his hands deeper into his pockets.

"you're a kid, frisk. you're just a kid. kids are supposed to make mistakes and learn from them. that doesn't stop when you grow up, either. you just...know more. it gets a little easier. you didn't have a chance to grow up back underground. here...you do. as much as wonderland allows, at least. and growing up is...the hardest damn thing in the world. it hurts. and you got so used to being able to fix everything. we kept relying on you to fix everything. that's not your fault, kid. getting used to how things are...that's not your fault."

He shakes his head again.

"not wanting to face consequences doesn't make you a bad person. who ever really wants to face that stuff? the thing is, you...keep trying. you've kept trying. even when you don't want to. that's the important thing, kiddo. and you've got a lot of people to help you."

Even if they do end up rejecting Sans, they'll still have the others. They won't be alone.
