[Applied physics, huh? They think about blueprints in a secret lab, and a broken machine. They think about how Sans knew how to build a DT Extractor. They think about how Sans knew about the Amalgamates and DT even when Alphys thought she had to hide this from everyone.
...Determination. Is that chemistry? Biology? Physics? Engineering? They'd kind of thought that it was magic, not science. They think it would be kind of foolish to admit to being that clueless.]
You're a scientist, aren't you?
[You can't go admitting you don't know a thing to a genius. Scientists are, like... doctors. Dr. Alphys, Dr. ...Aster? Dr. Sans?? Oh my god, he's Dr. Sans and they've never thought about that at all.]
How come you weren't the royal scientist? You're more qualified than Alphys, right? You just... stopped building stuff.
Is science... not fun anymore?
[Maybe that's an unfair question to ask. They're - they're good at digging into the bones of the world. They know hidden monologues about someone else, and how they're supposed to be able to connect the dots between a drawing and illegible handwriting and filenames. If they focused a little harder, they could probably remember all the foggy parts, right?
Yes. Yes they can.
Frisk wanted to find Wonderland's core. Its CORE. Why? Because Chara taught them how to crack open the bones of the world. Because Chara's SPELL filled their head with those filenames and flags and Fun values, and lurking deep within those lines of text was...
The answer comes, and they can sort of see how it might be possible for science to suddenly not look so fun anymore.]
