[Nothing was your fault, she says. It must have been an accident, she says.
They're the one who used their SPELL command, even if they knew their magic was vile and broken. They're the one who fought back. However much EXP they're worth at LV 8, it wouldn't have been enough to push LV 19 to LV 20. It wouldn't have made any difference at all if they'd just... let themself destroy themself. It's about the only thing they know how to do right, after all, isn't it?
But no, Chara had to try and take responsibility. Wrestle themself into submission. Sure worked out, huh? Just like this miserable attempt to do what's best. Don't decide for them, Toriel advises, but wasn't it enough that Chara already talked this over with Frisk?
They don't understand.
They were judged for every choice they made when they were empty. Surely they can expect an emptied-out Frisk to still be able to make choices. What's any different?
Maybe, once again, Chara doesn't qualify for the rules that everyone else does.
...It feels pointless to talk about this. They feel heavier just trying to think about communicating how they feel.]

Forget it.
...Ma'am. Could I... stay with you?
