Yeah, that's what I looked like back then too...

[Mettaton's response stings a little. But it's honestly not at all as bad as he thought it was going to be. Even if Asriel didn't go into full details - timelines where he killed and manipulated fellow monsters, where he erased each timeline if he didn't get the result he wanted, Mettaton still had every reason to be upset with him.

He'd seen what Asriel was capable of doing after all.]

Well, I can't say I did at first. Frisk was the one who knocked some sense into me, and it was because of them that I was able to do the right thing in the end.

Before that, there was a lot of things I wanted to use the souls for. To break the barrier and show everyone just how awful the world they wanted really was, that it was kill or be killed. That was before Frisk really showed me that humans could be kind. But honestly? It wasn't even about that.

It was about Chara. Or, when I saw Frisk I mistook them for Chara. No, I think I wanted so badly for Frisk to be Chara that I refused to see them for who they really were. And I was willing to go to any lengths, no matter how terrible, to make sure they didn't leave again. Pretty stupid, huh? I mean, they're both so different...

[Honestly Asriel's not sure how much Mettaton knows about Chara either, but they were on the ship for a while that Asriel thinks they could've ran into each other.]

I was a pretty rotten sibling, mistaken identity or not.

I'm sorry Mettaton, this is something I really should have told you sooner. You were tearing yourself down about how you didn't have any friends and that you hurt the ones you had and I just didn't think it was right to act like I didn't get it.
