What do you mean you don’t remember Alphonse? Did you forget about him because of all the drama and memory loss? He gave you a message and you responded…or was that Runiel? Anyway, he’s a fragment who’s hanging out in Luci’s lab. He’s a nice guy, and he was one of the shards who escaped from Eight’s lab, and he may seek revenge…God, I hate Eight more and more every single second…

* no yeah i do remember now, sorry about that

* i just woke up, my memory isn’t Great rn

* i hope he doesn’t get himself hurt trying to do that, but it’s his own prerogative.

* and yeah, i hear you there.

I guess we’re just interested in your opinions on stuff, Flaps, for you are a wise and kind fragment. You’re right, though, the Void is terrible and the only way to deal with it is keep your loved ones close and block out the noise and trash…you tried to help in helpless situations, but you’ve learnt your lesson…I suppose we’ll stop keeping you updated if it doesn’t concern you.

* this isnt to say that like…. i don’t want to stop helping COMPLETELY

* i’ve been observing it for a while, but i know at this point there really isn’t anything i Can do yknow.

* i’m sorry i snapped a bit there. i’m just – i JUST woke up and i’m kinda crabby today

Flaps, Runiel, pay attention the screens! Mind your physical projection, Runi – Eight’s mad plan is finally coming to an end! We’ve already dealt with all the numbers…we just have to wait and see if we were able to save them and Un! I don’t care about Eight, though…I hope one of the other numbers gets his body, one who is deserving!

* I don’t think I’d go so far as wishing that, uh

* honestly the ideal situation might be null having full control? at least for a while if he lives so things have a chance to finally calm down

* but iirc they aren’t really supposed to be in control in the first place so that might cause issues

* but I dunno. we aren’t really paying close attention to what’s going on over there.

We know your wife wasn’t a good person, and she got what she deserved when you killed her out of self-defense…you don’t feel bad about that anymore, do you? How did a nice guy like you ever end up with a miserable bitch like her? Did she take advantage of your kindness and put up a facade? At least the rest of your family was nice, like your sons and parents, right?

* my parents were wonderful – as were my kids, yeah.

* she was my friend growing up, you know? she just…. always had my back. it just changed when we got married. i don’t think i was the right person for her.

* i’ll. definitely not forgive her for what she tried to do to my kids, but. i still like to think that she would have been better off with someone else.

* that’s…. past, though. no use mulling it over constantly.

Frisk is the only person who can fix everything for everyone, but I think that’s because of the way their powers work. If they make a mistake, or don’t know someone well enough, they can just reset until they get it right…but I guess that’s not how it works in real life. Mistakes are forever, and so is your tiredness…even if you don’t get your energy back, maybe you can be happy again. You don’t deserve this, you just wanted to help, and everyone spat on you…

* nah, man, even frisk can’t fix everything for EVERYONE.

* you’re just looking at the scope of what you guys see – it’s just in That Specific Instance that they could. which holds true in a lot of other places, too.

* there’s definitely going to be spots in life where hey, you CAN help everyone – but it’s on a situation-by-situation kind of basis. holding to the standard of “i can and WILL help EVERYONE, Forever” is where it gets to be a problem.

* and – well, yeah. it’d be nice to have that old energy and happiness back, but that’s just how the cards played out, yknow. I’ve done really all i can.

What’s the best thing we can do for both of the Carmen’s? They seem so despondent, and they don’t have many friends, especially with their broken timeline….what’s something we could do or give them that would brighten their day? Doesn’t have to be anything complicated….I’m sure even a favorite-colored object would be nice! I just don’t know their favorite colors, and I can’t ask because Carmen’s busy, and Carmine kinda intimidates me….

* i’m really not sure. 😦

* it’s hard having to watch a timeline more or less deteriorate around you. i’m…. really not sure about what could be done to help them at this point.

* my advice would be to just – ask them if there’s anything they want, yknow. i know you’re hesitant to do so but i can’t really answer for their individual needs and wants.
