Perhaps it did make me feel better. But I didn't do it for me. Say what you will, but I really didn't. I did it because I don't want to see Asriel hurt. He's just a child.
[He can't say Frisk--he hasn't tried hard enough with them. When they had been caught in the madness of their own disk-tampering, he'd backed off. No...no, he hadn't just backed off. He'd run away because they intimidated him.
...He owed Frisk more than that, but at the moment, one friend at a time was all he could aspire to.]
As for you, I don't want you to forgive humanity. I would not ask such a thing of you, because you sound as if you have a reason for hating them. That reason is not my business. But clearly you have it. I think that if you decided, not to lie to yourself, but to accept that not every single person is cut from the same negative cloth...you might find yourself surprised.
[After that point, the robot lets his eye slip shut. He's tired. Talking about things like this was exhausting in a way that being constantly plugged in wouldn't alleviate. He will still listen, of course.]
