[They had never imagined being like this around an adult. Can't remember the last time they fell apart in front of anyone except Frisk. It feels like they'd be swept away completely by the force of this torrential outpouring if not for the hands anchoring them here.
But they can't believe in any of that, can they? They never made up for any of their mistakes. Just stood back and watched as better, less wrong people came along and fixed the mess they left. They're not really alive. Their time stopped! Their story is over! What right do they have to let themselves forget they've been gone for a long time?]
That's going to be a pretty long book.
[Just keep laughing. Keep those syrupy, wet sob-chuckles going, because they're not at all gross-sounding, ha ha. What a shame they can't be a robot too, just find some switch deep inside them that shuts their ability to cry down forever.]
How many times do you say "sorry" for it to actually make anything better? It's just... it's just a word. A stupid, empty word that won't undo any of Frisk's suffering. I've made a mistake so awful, they'll never be the same. So awful, they wanted to die.
Just saying "sorry" doesn't make anything better, it just - it just forces them to forgive me, because it's their job to forgive everybody! I can't even apologize without putting more weight on their shoulders! How do they know I mean it... and how do I know they really feel better if they just tell everyone "I forgive you" because they have to?
