[Once again, it seems like he himself was searching for the answer. Once again, his honest answer starts bubbling up inside of him and he can't contain it any more.]
IT'S BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU TOO!!!
[He falls silent for a while, before continuing.]
I KNOW THAT...I KNOW THAT YOU'RE THE ONE THAT KILLED ALMOST EVERYBODY IN THE UNDERGROUND. TAKING UP THE CROWN AND BECOMING A KING...THAT WAS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME. SURE, THE KINGDOM LOVES ME AND MY SPAGHETTI AND MY SPEECHES, AND MY BROTHER'S ABLE TO WORK FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE, BUT...BUT I NEVER FELT SO LONELY BEFORE, EVER. AND...IT'S NOT JUST THAT.
[He looks on, not really focusing on anything.]
FRISK, I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I NEVER HAD THAT MANY FRIENDS BACK IN THE UNDERGROUND. OF COURSE, I HAD UNDYNE AND I HAD MY BROTHER, BUT...THAT WAS ABOUT IT, REALLY. I THOUGHT THAT IN ORDER TO BE HAPPY, I HAD TO HAVE AT LEAST A MILLION FRIENDS.
WHEN YOU CAME ALONG HOWEVER, AND AFTER MY BOTCHED ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE YOU...AND THEN WHEN WE HUNG OUT AND YOU STARTED CALLING ME UP ON MY CELL PHONE, I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT FRIENDSHIP IS MUCH MORE THAN HOW MANY FRIENDS YOU HAVE. IT'S ABOUT THE THINGS THAT YOU DO TOGETHER TO MAKE THAT FRIENDSHIP SPECIAL, EVEN IF IT MEANS SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS YOU CALLING ME UP WHENEVER YOU MOVE FROM ROOM TO ROOM. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I WAS ABLE TO APPRECIATE MY RELATIONSHIPS WITH UNDYNE AND MY BROTHER EVEN MORE. I KNOW THAT YOU'VE DONE THINGS THAT OTHERS WOULD SAY ARE INEXCUSABLE. BUT...
[He whips back, looking at Frisk in the eyes.]
ALL I KNOW IS THAT I DON'T WANT TO STOP BEING FRIENDS WITH YOU!! IF I STARTED HATING YOU AND WE WEREN'T FRIENDS ANYMORE, THEN...THEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO!! I DON'T WANT TO HATE YOU, SO I'M NOT GOING TO!!!
