[Mettaton doesn't sugarcoat it. Unlike with Asriel or Frisk, he didn't feel a deep need to do so where Chara was concerned. If they felt it imperative that they were frank with him, he would repay the favor.
It is their fault he's fallen to this point. There's only so much burden a monster can shoulder. Unlike humans, their constitution is weak. The threads of physicality that hold them together are so fine, so rare, that with just magic and the feelings which fuel it...it's inevitable that a monster dies when they fall to despair.
To his credit, Mettaton clung onto his life stubbornly, for an impossible amount of time.]
However, this particular instant has nothing to do with it, and they both should know that. Asriel in particular, I have already spoken with. But you, who is masterful at seeking out the weakness of others, should have seen it too. I guess you hate monsters like me enough that it didn't matter even if you could see.
[He smiles, but it's not a smile. It hurts.]
I'll come back. They will be relieved. Things will proceed as they have. After all, we've fallen off the edge of the map, but a game is only ever a game.
[Cynicism, perhaps. But for a group of children who can SAVE, LOAD, and RESET, what else can it be but a game? Even Mettaton can't deny the farce.]

I'll try not to disappoint again.
