[They've been mining where they're not meant to be. Mostly they think that's Chara's fault, and things simply bled over after a certain point. Either way, they don't contest the point that they can be vicious. They know it. It's one of their traits they hate the most.]

I see.

[They curl their arms around their knees as they draw them up to their chest and prop their chin on one kneecap, unconscious mirroring Chara's posture.]

Sans told me that...in that path, everything would "end". The entire world, I'm guessing, like how you described. But I guess you could also bring it back.

[They pull their hands away, and open them.]

Chara - my partner - talks about that sometimes. The power to ERASE. That is the power I think they were after. Anything, if it meant they could feel nothing. LOVE makes things...easier. You don't hurt. You don't feel anything at all.

[But then, they don't need to explain that. Still, then temptation is a constant and clawing thing. And it would be so easy...]

But just like the power to ERASE, we also have the power to SAVE. Not just in the way we do before a FIGHT.

I mean the power to SAVE people's SOULs.
