Speak.

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

[Their lips purse together tightly for a moment. That tenuous thread, breaking already?]

They told me it was in the hills, and I went. I didn't ask how they knew.

[They're not lying. Zacharie wasn't the one who told them; their Mirror was, underlining the word twice. Hurry. Eager to see things play out, maybe, or eager to be ERASED themself. The Queen wouldn't be happy with them. They didn't care. They would've appreciated the chaos in seeing the world crumble around the hole Frisk would have left behind - or maybe they would have simply wanted to see what would happen, should Frisk have failed. Granted a chance to wreak havoc on the Mirror side.

It stings.

A selfish brat who doesn't deserve MERCY or understanding or the infinite patience they've been granted, and still it feels like the worst slap to their cheeks. I don't believe you, Frisk. Tell the truth, Frisk. Don't lie about your parents, Frisk. Everyone here has better things to do than listen to you spin tales, invent stories about things that never happened.

They don't believe you, Frisk.

Why should they?]

You don't have to believe me. But it's what happened.

[And it is. They're omitting the others they had searching for them, but it was the Mirror that told them what the Rabbit Hole looked like and where to find them. It was their word, their means of opening the door to the cauldron to hell.

They were the gatekeeper, and they let Frisk through to the other side.]

[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.

[They ruined it.

Of course they did. This is supposed to be a new beginning, and they've already made things difficult again. Refusing to be obedient, to do as everyone says. Refusing to be complicit, to be a good child who does as they're told. Refusing to trust even the person that should be trusted completely and utterly.

They really are the worst possible Frisk, aren't they? The worst possible iteration, and they had to convince Chara that they're the Partner they're meant for. They had to force Chara to love them, to care about them, because they certainly didn't when they first arrived, did they? How could they? Why would they? Why would they trust someone who looked at them with vague suspicion, who made them form a truce about no killing each other in their sleep, who talked about them to others with a lowered voice, like they were something to be ashamed of? They didn't earn anyone's trust. They were never the right Frisk, not one of the countless ones that would have loved and cared for Chara unconditionally and without hesitation.

Instead they got someone paranoid and untrusting, and convinced themself they cared for this broken, twisted-up little thing that pushes them harshly away and then cries that they've been abandoned.

What kind of selfish brat are they?

They could struggle. But...nothing would happen. Nothing ever happens. Drop hands down to their lap, and bow their head. Acquiesce.

Be good, won't you?]

Okay.
