[It's horrible and tight and uncontrolled, everything about this. Like they're on the edge of panic, of hysterics. Laughing, laughing, laughing, as if that will make it easier to bear. It had flown off the rails so horribly. And Frisk had - had facilitated this, hadn't they? Tried to do something nice for someone they loved, and what happens? It backfires. It hits you hard, and Chara finds a way to make it their own fault instead of Frisk's, Frisk who gave them the Orb in the first place.
It can't be just all this, can it? They have to learn. They have to. Learn real, proper magic, like a Dreemurr, like they're supposed to.]

[Not like they already have, ha ha. Maybe that's the wrong thing to say. It probably is. Frisk never has the right thing to say. And there they go again, making things about them! How selfish of you, Frisk! This was never about you!]
I just mean that - that I couldn't... [What do they say? What do they do that won't make this about them when it's nothing to do with them?] I'm not the one worth SAVING here, Chara. You are. I don't care what just happened. It's okay. I'm okay. We're both okay.
