Then no. I do not believe that I can have the same level of sympathy for them. If they were able to feel, yet still did what they did.
[Chara's words are... unpleasant to listen to. But they do not surprise her. Even back at New Home, they would seem surprised when Toriel would forgive them for something. Seemed to believe that they would earn her hate, that she would stop caring for them. That maybe even she should stop caring for them. That they were unworthy of her love.
It was little things. Small signs that her child had a difficult past. Things that children with loving parents shouldn't do, shouldn't say. Nothing so obvious and as horrible as what she's hearing now, though.
Her child has been through so much without her, and now they are placing all the blame squarely on their own shoulders, and it's terrible to listen to.]
I will not hold it against you, Chara. And I will not hate you, either. I hardly have any right to call you my child after what I have done to you, but... That is still what you are to me.
I will always love you.
[Her voice is quiet and gentle, and her hand stays right where it is. It's okay if Chara doesn't want to take it- she still wants them to know it's there. She's ready to take their hand and hold it anytime they want.]
