It's a shame you didn't really do much, isn't it? I would have preferred you, and only you, to any other situations which I have had to endure.

[Mettaton can't fully decipher what they're thinking, to be honest. But he can guess they're placing more credit on their actions than he is. Because they've proven to think in absolutes, whereas he doesn't. He has a lot of shit going on in his head, and all Chara had really contributed was pushing him to the brink.

Even going back to the Outpost had been their idea...and yet he didn't blame them entirely for it. He'd gone there. He'd gotten himself into trouble.]

Still, you are right. Monsters are hypocrites.

So are humans, but your focus is unilaterally fixated. This is something that I can understand.

[Even...if he doesn't agree with it, he'll accept it as best he can. If he's going to die, he'll die with some closure, because Chara mightn't think much of it, but a monster in such despair will eventually die, as he's doing now.

Mettaton would like to limit his death count in this manner to only one.]
