Speak.

[Wow okay cool voicemail there Chara. Voice/text/video away to your heart's content.]

[No, they don't want to Reset, they just want Chara to go back to how they were before this made them scared, made them hurt, made them angry, made them unpalatable.

Well. Whatever. Frisk can think whatever they please. It's easier if they're blaming this on Chara. Easier to assume Chara hates them, because hate's all that's ever motivated Chara.]

I'm serious, Frisk. I know what it means to be faced with a person who thinks you do not deserve boundaries. A person who does not think you are allowed to tell them "no." I am willing to do what I must to be sure that I am permitted the safety of my room.

Do you understand me?

[determinedest]

You have made yourself perfectly clear.

[Frisk stares at them, flattens their features out into the empty expression Chara must be expecting. The one they must really be looking for. Always knew they had it in them, didn't they?]

I guess I really am no better than the people who hurt you.

I, you humble servant, will follow you to the utmost.

[Aren't we cute. Playing our games with the parts of the script that exist outside the script. Well then, Chara answers with a smile.]

"Following me" is exactly the opposite of what I'm asking you to do, silly goose. Now kindly release the door, and unfollow me right down that hallway.

[determinedest]

Guess I'm not used to not having a partner. Stupid of me.

[They open their fingers and release their grip on the door. But as long as we're quoting you here, Chara, they're not quite done.]

Another one of your kindnesses, then.

But try as you might, you won't tell me what I can or cannot do forever.

This is a round of Determination vs. Determination that I am not going to lose.

[The only response they dignify that with is a big, bright, sunny grin.

That, and the door slamming in Frisk's face.]
