They retract their hand. Look away, distract themselves with dangling the halo off one of the tines of their trident instead. If an invitation isn't taken, they shouldn't push. All they ever do is push people into things they shouldn't do, ha ha. Pushing a shared body to fight back against things that hurt it, because that's how demonic possession is, right? Pushing Asriel into a plan that's cruel, wicked, that would only start wars and they should have known that.
...Pushing Frisk to not cry. And they don't, even if that laugh is dangerously close to a sob, and they're trying to not react, trying to wear the poker face that carried them through the Underground. They didn't actually make Frisk less upset. Of course they didn't. They're just... teaching Frisk the sort of things they taught Asriel.
Really aren't good at this at all, Chara.
Really aren't good in general, Chara. Aren't special. Used to think they were, right? The angel who'd seen the surface! Someone who survived a fall for a reason! The demon that comes! Someone who had been reawakened for a reason, intentionally, by someone who needed them! They... they think they just want to back out of this. It's just like everything else trying to care has fooled them into thinking. The more they buy it, the more they make others love them, the more... ha. The more they'll all be set back by Chara, right? Life actually is that unfair for some people.
"Look, I'm not gonna leave you anymore. You don't have to convince me to stay. Save the sappiness for someone who's actually going to buy it. I've doled out plenty of hurting already, haven't I?" Hurt everyone so much, there were almost no survivors! Ha ha ha! Asriel sure learned that caring about anyone hurts, didn't he! Hurt real bad when the asshole next door got the rifle, and their parents hurled rocks and vengeful words and the wrong pronouns, and the president of the PTA courageously went in with a Louisville Slugger, and....
...There isn't really a punchline to this joke.
"Just... don't..." Love me? Kind of a stupid thing to request. Won't get them anywhere, will it? "Don't work yourself up over it."
