Frisk... still had a SOUL. Frisk can feel. But they... we both kept going back. Just escaping wasn't... wasn't what they wanted.
[Tell the truth, Chara. For better or worse, tell the truth. Keep it together.
They firmly tell themselves to not even look at the offered hand. They... what they want has nothing to do with it. It's a matter of what they deserve. And this... this is all backwards, isn't it? Frisk's supposed to be the one who's just a kid. Who gets forgiveness. Who gets loved. Chara's the one who's done awful things, who was all wrong, who has done nothing to deserve a single ounce of pity.]
...You should hold it against me. Not Frisk. I told you. It was me. Everything bad that happened... that was me. I didn't... nobody made me, I didn't have to, but I cut you down. I... I made myself want it enough that I cut you down in a single hit! Frisk was the one who saved everyone, I was the...
I'm the one you should hate.
[Isn't that... why isn't that obvious? Chara made their choice long ago. Chara looked into a mirror and said "it's me" instead of "it's you," and they don't get to back down from that. They don't get to try and... try and steal what's supposed to be Frisk's. They've had so much time to get used to Toriel holding another child's hand instead, to remind themselves that they're not the one who needs love.]
