Are you blind, or simply an idiot to not realize that what I am saying is the truth?

[She really doesn't get it at all. Why, of all things that they would be upset over, would it be Chara? What kind of pointless sentimentality do they have for them that allows them to ignore the obvious?]

I am not incapable of mercy, human. Children cannot help that they are born into a race and culture of violence.

So long as they embraced the ways of monsters before humanity had been allowed to corrupt them, then I allowed them to live and accept my rule.

So long as this Chara remains non-violent toward my people, then I will protect them as well.

[determinedest]

I don't care.

[That's...anger. Familiar, hot, sick anger. Licking up inside them. They know that they are what they are. Stupid, horrible, and broken. An anomaly. A danger to everyone they know, everyone they love. And they tried to fix the problem, and that didn't even work. They couldn't even get that far. Couldn't even manage to die properly, just like the countless other times they always fell, and came back. Fell, and came back. Fell, and came back.

Their hands tremble at their sides, coiled tight into fists.]

I don't care what you think about me. I just care that Chara's mirror is safe. They don't deserve to suffer because the other mirrors are cruel.

[didntknowbest]

Fool.

[Toriel has nothing else to say to that- she is the ruler of an empire on the surface. Even if those memories are fake, she still feels that dealing with a human child's willful ignorance is beneath her. She will not repeat herself because they refuse to listen to what she has to say.]

Then on that, at least, we are in agreement.

[determinedest]

Good.

[So she's like a lot of the other mirrors, then. Full of hatred, disgust, contempt. They shouldn't be surprised.]

Is that all you had to say to me?

[didntknowbest]

Yes.

I wanted to make sure you understood the nature of what you are, and my Real's feelings about yourself.

I do not expect you to disagree. I simply wished to erase any doubts you had about the truth.

[On the other side, Toriel caps the marker- waits to see if Frisk has any last words to her or not, and then turns and leaves. She has no interest in wasting more time on this human for now.]

[determinedest]

Fine.

[Their response is curt, like her words. It pains them to be so openly scornful, but they know what she's saying isn't...true. Not wholly.

They hold the words close to their heart, as if that might lessen the impact of the encounter.

It doesn't. But Frisk turns away regardless, and takes their leave.]
