Maybe...maybe that's not what they should have said. They didn't mean to strike that fresh parallel there, that thing that ached and still aches to think about. But it's - they know it's true. They know it is, it is because Chara is the person who walked with them for every step of the way, who shared their SOUL and their every experience. Their partner. Their SOULmate. The person that is, that always will be, the last and first and most important relationship in their life.
The most important person in their life.
Someone they never could and would let go of.]
You came first. Everything I have I owe to you. I just happened to come along at the right time.
[They shrug, tiredly. The rest writes itself, does it not? A child in a striped shirt, the latest in a long string of them, replacements for children Toriel lost, reflections of the hope Asgore saw in the first human's eyes - the hope that cuts Frisk deeper and deeper than anything, because that hope must have dimmed like a dying star somewhere down the road, and they still don't know at what exact point it did so.]
You're not forcing this onto me, Chara. You're not making me love you. You - you have to know that. I need you to know that. 'Cause I know you're not always perfect, just like I'm not either, and I don't care. You wouldn't be the same person if you were perfect. You wouldn't be you, and you're - you're who I wanna be with, remember?
[We made a promise. Clasped hands. Said we'd never go back.]
