[Sans just shakes his head.]

y'know, i don't think i'll ever understand humans.

even after bein' one.

[skelefont]

They are strange, can make incredibly terrible choices, but they can still make better ones.

Chara even said they didn't want to kill me, they must've felt hopeless.

[... Still believing in his successful and attempted murderer.]

[bonedoggle]

[There's a sigh.]

how are you holdin' up, bro?

[Forgive him for changing the subject.]

[skelefont]

I'm more ahead than I could be!

[What even was that.

He doesn't mind, but he does sot of wobbled there on the table.]

[bonedoggle]

huh.

ya don't say.

[Sans's grin becomes more shit-eating.]

[skelefont]

I could come up with something better if I weren't so confused over this situation!

[Good god, Papyrus.]

Can't say I've got my head on straight.

[bonedoggle]

you should quit while you're ahead.

[skelefont]

I definitely don't want to cranium more into this.

[HE MISSES HAVING HANDS RIGHT ABOUT NOW.]

Still, I'm absolutely bamboozled over why... this.

[bonedoggle]

yeah, this is a new one.

[skelefont]

It is better than the alternative, but...

[He's just a skull.]

[bonedoggle]

we'll figure somethin' out?

[Not that he has any idea what he could possibly do.

He laughs an almost crazed sounding laugh. Sorry, bro, he's freaking out a little.]

[skelefont]

[Oh my god, Sans.]

Of course! Something will be figured out, and in the meantime I'm mostly okay.

Frightening as al of this no doubt is.

[bonedoggle]

at least you're okay.

[Sans takes his brother into his laps and cradles him.]

[skelefont]

[If he had arms there'd be a good deal of hugging going on right now, but alas, Papyrus is limbless.]

I am okay! Positively okay.

[bonedoggle]

hey, at least you get to see dad's lab.

[skelefont]

Is that where we are? Wowie.

[He had been wondering, and things did look very scientific-y!]

[bonedoggle]

yup.

dad and i hang out here a lot.

[skelefont]

Sounds as if the two of you are having fun!

[That's some genuine happiness, even as a head it's there. This is a good thing.]

[bonedoggle]

[Sans shifts from cuddling the skull to resting his own on it.]

yeah, we, uh, probably shouldn't be keeping it a secret like we've been doing.

[skelefont]

Probably, yes.

[He's fine with this, really. He's still alive and... no he really wishes he had arms at the moment.]

But it's also okay that you didn't? I mean you've been enjoying having a thing with just you and dad, right?

[bonedoggle]

yeah.

i, uh, i kinda didn't want the sans who was from before everything to know about it.

[skelefont]

And that's okay! It is, just like it's okay for you to not want to keep it a secret anymore.

It is pretty cool dad has a secret lab.

[bonedoggle]

... you aren't curious about why?

[skelefont]

Of course I am- I just... Well, I'm not sure how to broach such a subject.

I don't want you to feel like you have to tell me?

[bonedoggle]

[Sans makes a thoughtful sound]

honestly, i was afraid that dad would rather do things with a me who wasn't totally out of practice.

in hindsight it was kinda silly.
