[Are they okay? What a stupid question. They're not the one getting hurt, paying prices, sacrificing. They're the one who takes. Sucks the life right out of everyone willing to trust them, just like leeches do! They just - they laugh, incredulously.]
My HP's the same as it's always been! You're not deflecting this onto me, Frisk.
[It's not about them.
They made the mistake, they inflicted hurt, so they're the one who has to do something about it. Maybe - maybe what's-his face... Zacharie? Maybe he can take it back somehow. Refund the orb, revoke the magic now that Chara's proven they definitely can't be trusted with it.]
Just... just a little rest? Perhaps a snack. More bandages. Maybe I could manage a healing spell!
[There it is! Found a joke! The kind of awful, scary punchline that makes people wince, that makes them pretend not to hear those hilarious lines about a kid who slept in the soil. You know, they almost broke Frisk, almost... almost Gastered them, almost did something so incomprehensible and awful that surely nothing on earth could fix it if Frisk didn't have the power to fix themselves! But it's no big deal! Everyone's laughing! Like it's just a big game, right? Who even cares!]
