[He chuckles, and there's not an ounce of mirth in it.]
heh, aw, doc. you're giving me way too much credit. i've never been anything but sloppy.
[Especially when it comes to damage control. Especially there.]
[He's quiet, waiting for whatever else Gaster has to say. He's nothing if not patient.]
[What Gaster does end up saying almost makes him laugh again. God, why, why is Gaster doing this. This is a waste of his precious existential time, and wasn't he just talking about not wasting his time? Where's the rest of that judgement and accusation and bitterness?]
not to be pedantic, but i'm not carrying it alone. i'm sharing it with every other sans out there, right? a sans, or whoever it is in the more mixed-up timelines who ends up...being this.
anyway, heh, i like to think i'm not that melodramatic. it's just better if the trash all ends up in one place, right? sure makes things smell better.
[He shrugs.]
but, uh. you're right. been telling people too much stuff about stuff lately. sans-es never tell anybody anything. that's how, uh, we're "designed," right? best for everyone if i just start acting like a sans again.
[They'll all be so disappointed, but what else is new?]
that's funny, though. real funny. you, telling me to trust someone. or maybe it's not so funny. maybe that's how you are. that's not how mine was. maybe, uh. maybe if i was the right sans and you were the right gaster, this would be... but, heh, we're not. this is just as close to any kind of...closure, i guess, that either of us are gonna get.
[But a few doors getting slammed closed is probably better than none of them.]
