[...That. Was about the last thing Toriel expected from this conversation.
It's easy sometimes, to just write people off. To see someone being an asshole, and to decide that must be all there is to them. Toriel's more guilty of it than she'd like to admit. Obviously, since that's exactly what she'd done with Lup.
So this outpouring of emotion, this extremely tragic event, is completely at odds with the image of Lup that Toriel had constructed in her mind after just one unpleasant conversation. It clearly takes her off guard, and she's now paying attention to Lup instead of trying to ignore her. When she speaks now, the harshness is gone from her voice.]
I am... sorry to hear that. That must be horrible.
