Is it patronizing to say something like...like I'm proud of you? Is it fair? They've learned from this and taken things away, and taken lessons away from Sans no less. They've not advanced any further than they have, and the advancements they have made - those were made in self-defense, or for Frisk's protection, weren't they?

"I wish I did have an answer." That, too, is just as true as everything else they've been made to say. "I wish I could tell you that...this is how things should be, or that you're someone who's too special to be copied and made into something else. I don't really know for sure."

But if they could begin to be even half of what you think of them...

"But I do know that I'm glad that you're here. I didn't treat you fairly, when you first came here. I treated you like something to be afraid of, like you were my responsibility. I didn't understand what you meant to me then."

They didn't understand a lot of things, it turned out. It took time. And it wasn't easy.

"But I don't ever want to forget what you mean to me now."

Maybe then they could learn how to love
like you.
