But...I mean, it was easy to just think the other was...gone. I'm not sure I even thought to ask if I was anyone else.
[Who were they? Chara. That's a nice name. A rote exchange, everything all muddled together, two SOULs existing in a place only intended for one.
Who was, Frisk, really? A kid who fell Underground and landed on a mat of golden flowers, very much like the other child who did the same. Chara would be forgiven for being confused, for thinking that they'd been given a second chance (in many ways, isn't that sort of what happened?), for thinking this body was theirs in a new iteration. There were only subtle differences. Thin eyes instead of wide ones, a flat expression in lieu of rosy cheeks, a firm neutral line instead of a wide, wide grin.]
I didn't exactly...assert myself at all, did I?
[That's a problem of theirs, and an asset of Chara's. Frisk was never assertive. The first decision they actually made for themselves was the decision to walk up the slope of Mt. Ebott and never look back, and it took them twelve years to get to that point where they actually felt they could make that decision. Whereas Chara...Chara is far more adapt at ACTing upon what they want, regardless of how Frisk might feel about what they want.]
