[God. They want to puke. They really, really, really want to puke. Maybe cry while they're at it. It would get rid of the stinging in their eyes, if they did. But — they hold back. This isn't the time. This isn't the place, either. They wish they could disconnect from their own feelings the way they used to. The numbness wasn't good, no. It only helped them make bad decisions. But it was better than having to deal with their guilt.
Maybe this is why monsters were underground in the first place. Not to keep them away from humans, but to keep humans away from them. If a stupid little kid like Frisk could force them to the brink of extinction, then—

[They sound pathetic. Really, really, really pathetic. There's no way to articulate why they killed Papyrus. No way they can justify killing him over and over and over again. Sans seems to have done a good enough job at putting it into words, so they nod. They're still not looking at him, but they hope he saw that. It's the most they can offer.
That, and—]
... I'm sorry.
[It's small. Quiet. They wouldn't be surprised if he didn't hear it at all, or if he pretends not to hear it. Sans doesn't strike them as the forgiving type, and honestly? Frisk hasn't done anything to earn that forgiveness.]
