Why are they...like this? Why do they keep doing this to themselves and everyone else? Dare to get close, then snap away, because they don't deserve anyone's love or patience or attention, not after all they've done to hurt people and get away with it. What are the consequences? Shouldn't they suffer those consequences? Be...alone? But how do they be alone? They haven't been really alone in so long. Not since they first fell, and...how long ago was that, really?

"I hurt you too," says Frisk. "And back there, we would've both...we'd've just done that, if Toriel hadn't...and I wasn't gonna stop us. I just wanted it to be over."

But as it turns out, they're really, really good at dying. Even when they're not supposed to. So good at dying, it's like the only thing they think they should ever do. So good at it, and - and they can't keep thinking like this.

"Sorr - um," they abort the apology before it gets all the way out. Chara doesn't like apologies. "I didn't mean to make this a whole - a big thing. Where I cry, and you don't like it."

What was their point here? That they don't hate Chara, and they don't ever want to let them go? But they knew that already. Or maybe they hear it and keep saying Frisk can't mean it. They don't know.

"I just don't wanna lose you," they finish, clumsily, "that's all."
