[They wait for the explanation. The obvious thing they're missing that will make them slap their head and laugh about how they always have to think too much, don't they? They're such a weirdo, so paranoid and unreasonable and so quick to shy away from things that are perfectly easy to explain. And Frisk will giggle about how Chara's so needy, maybe, about how they always need reassurances and the security that simple logical facts can offer to something as frail and hurtful as "just trust me." They wait for a thoughtful silence, maybe, a "yeah, that is a strange contradiction, that shouldn't have happened, why don't we ask about it" or "well, the mirror was yours or Sans' or someone else's who would totally lie and use my friendship against me, so maybe they tricked me" or - or something that doesn't slap down the hand they raised.
They get "because I said so."
They get "you're not getting an explanation," because normal people can just immediately accept whatever they're told as true without trying to reason out if they're being misled or not. Normal people won't ruin this. Normal people aren't like this.
...They get "it just happened" because they don't deserve the truth, do they? Take this mysterious mirror, this anonymous "they" - no names attached, of course, have to carefully defend the people who want Frisk gone from dangerous things like Chara. If they were given any more than that, they'd do something destructive with it. In fact, maybe this is a test, right? Make sure Chara hasn't gotten too cocky, too complacement. Don't let them get any lofty ideas that they can get away with being pushy, with asking for more than they're generously handed out. All they ever do is take too much, too fast, and spill the whole candy bowl.
You know what happens when you don't accept what Frisk wants, Chara, right? They've only just stepped back from the ledge. Don't force them to hand out another ultimatum. Don't make them remind you they hate you. You can see it in the way their lips press into a dissatisfied, thin line.
A humble servant doesn't get to question their master like that.
You have to trust your partner, Chara.]
Understood.
[They let go, untangle, stand up.]
I'll inform Toriel that effective immediately, I will be watching over you once more. I'll do my best to have Room 12 tidy and prepared for when you are ready to return to it.
