"Partners?" Asriel asked with a head tilt and raised eyebrow. He wasn't sure what that meant. They shared a room and were partners. Did people get partners here like they did in school? His mom told him about group projects a few times. He couldn't do one really until Chara fell into the Underground. Was that how Frisk meant it?

"So you live in the same room and work together?" But the way Frisk said it seemed to mean...more. "Or is it something else? I don't think I get it." Despite everything, he was still an naive little goat. Death and destruction he understood. Sadness and despair he understood. Mercy and Genocide he understood.

Partnership? He was in the dark.
