[Maybe he said the wrong thing. Then again, is there even a right thing to say here? He had to at least warn her that Frisk was here, like he had to warn Papyrus, before they see each other and everyone misunderstands. Maybe she's already seen Frisk.]
[Damn. Damn, he has to tell her more, doesn't he? He has to get into it, all the stupid, complex crap he hates talking about. How Frisk isn't the Frisk she'll be familiar with. How Chara...god, Chara's here, and she might not even recognize them. And how is Chara going to react to all this? And how will Frisk react?]
[Frisk will be devastated.]
[Damn.]
nah, it's...
hold on. gonna come around. kinda stupid to keep this bush between us, yeah?
[He heads to the end of the hedgerow, stepping gingerly over some flowerbed, then approaches her slowly, hands in his pockets. By now he has himself back under control, his expression giving nothing away.]
hey. heh. you're...a lot taller up close, huh?
...
there's...something you gotta know. don't really know how to explain, but...
it went different for me. went different for frisk, too. they came outta the ruins and...everything was fine. they were good. didn't hurt a single monster. not a single one. i kept an eyesocket on them, as often as i could.
[He rubs the back of his skull, unable to keep the regret from his face. Why does he get the good ending? Why does he get the good timeline when two of the most important people in his life get the worst one?]
it all went well. they got past asgore and freed us all.
guess that...doesn't really change what, uh. what happened where you're from. everyone here, the underground that we come from? they're all...kinda different from each other. in the one i'm from, and the one frisk is from...
no subject

we lucked out, i guess.
