[Sans is gonna do some investigating on his own. They'll have to come back to this. He gets the feeling that Chara isn't going to give up on this easily.]

yeah. "if."

[Frisk forgives everyone, but forgiveness isn't the same as trust.]

taking their choice away was my doing. they can blame me for that.

[He's the one who teleported them away against their will. He's the one who had basically a prison cell all set and ready for them. He doesn't regret it, because it means Frisk still exists, but at the same time he's absolutely certain that he could have done better. There must have been a better way. There always is.]

I SAVEd so they could not. I LOADed every time the outcome was not to my liking. I can't disregard my role in what transpired, Sans. To unload it all onto your shoulders would be morally irresponsible.

[They're not very dark blue, but they aren't above consequences. They know what they did.]

Nor would it be right of me to let your relationship be sabotaged. You and Alphys were the ones who saved them when my magic ruined them. You were the one who found them before they could cross to the mirror side. You... for all the mixed feelings tied up in "for your own good," you did strive to create a safe place for them.

[He could argue, but what's the point? Some ridiculous blame game doesn't really solve anything. He's going to blame himself more than they will, and he knows they're going to blame themselves more than he will. That's just how this is gonna go.]

[He sighs a little.]

we all coulda done better. i guess hindsight is always twenty-twenty.

[fulllifeconsequences]

What a shame we couldn't do it over, now that we know better.

[It's a very flat joke. He probably won't find it funny at all. They're really only good at the wrong kind of humour.]

[punful]

heh.

[It's not really funny, but it's not sarcasm either. Gallows humor. Not his favorite, but sometimes it's needed.]

maybe that's the takeaway. sometimes you got no choice but to move forward.
