[They don't have to try?

The idea sits with them for a moment, heavy and- a little ugly, Frisk thinks. You don't have to try, Chara says, as if it's just common logic.

But I do, Frisk wants to say back. I really do. If I don't, who else will? Two wrongs can't make a right. Besides...

Sometimes, when he calls them by their name, they almost think he's doing it because he can. Not just because sometimes, he needs to separate them from Chara.]

I guess so. But I still want to.

[They have to take a moment to just breathe before responding. Chara knows Frisk's SOUL, knows the kindness within it that would even extend to someone who didn't like the answers they provided. A snap call here isn't what either of them need.

They don't need an answer Chara would make. The path of genocide was an easy one, all things considered. They didn't have to try.]

I know Frisk. And you are kind for it.

I just wanted you to know the option is there, as am I.

[You can talk to them. * I'm here.]

[The fact that Chara- takes their time, to think of what Frisk has said. To make sure they don't talk over them; if they knew, then Frisk would appreciate it. As it is, the words that meet their eyes are something invaluable, drawn into the upwards turn of their lips and the calm sensation of their SOUL, determined.]

I know. I'm here for you, too.

[We're in this together, Partner.]
