If you want to make me feel worse, go ahead and let me fail in this too.

[What's he going to do with them if not guilt trip? No reason to be above that.]

[determinedest]

I'm sorry.

It's not bad that you care. You really are a better person than you think you are.

[catchacold]

Ditto.

[determinedest]

I guess that's why we're friends, ha ha

[catchacold]

Guess so, kid.

Please don't.

[determinedest]

Don't what?

[Can't know, can he? Unless Chara told him.

They wouldn't have. Wouldn't have. Couldn't have.]

[catchacold]

Think I've never dealt with someone on a mission?

I like you around.

[determinedest]

Is that why I haven't seen you around much?

[And...it won't matter. If they succeed, he'll never have to miss them or worry about them again.]

Are you ok?

[catchacold]

No, but that's not on you.

Though you're the only one I talk to who gets any of it.

[determinedest]

[A selfish emotion. A selfish thing, doing what they're doing now. They're going to deprive him of something important. Someone he trusts.

Surely he has someone else? Or he can find someone else.]

You don't have anyone else?

[catchacold]

[He's manipulative, he's aware what he's doing, but it's the best way he can think of how to at least try to get through to them.

They matter.]

No. Never had much to begin with. I don't open up a lot.

[determinedest]

I'm lucky then.

[Perhaps it doesn't communicate over text, but they mean that. They are lucky to know him. Glad to know someone who knows what it's like.]

It's good to talk to other people too though

[catchacold]

Yippee.

Any chance of talking to you face to face?

[determinedest]

I can't right now, sorry.

[Won't, actually. But who's keeping track?]

[catchacold]

Figures.

Don't, Frisk.

[determinedest]

I can't. You know that.

Five times isn't enough to wipe you away.

[catchacold]

The way you talk, you're thinking something.

Whatever you're thinking, do you know it's gonna work? Aren't you just gonna mess your people up more?

I've done that.

[determinedest]

I'm giving everyone space. That's all.
