hey, it's sans.

y'know, looking back? it's been pretty interesting.

i mean, look at us. we've got some basic amenities, power, even phones and the best internet you can make banging rocks together. we've got a community and everything, hey! nothing quite like the stale smell of desperation to really bring people together. but i've heard more than one of us ask what this war's really good for. for us.

makes a guy think about something other than starrs for a change. (yeah, see what i did there? you just dated yourself.)

anyway there's an actual point to this. see, being a good little soldier really tuckered the kid out, so frisk's gone on a vacation. some of you probably have questions. before you do, i want you to think about how much pressure kids should take. and maybe, y'know, lay off a little.

i'll keep you posted. see ya.

Is that trust? Is hard, scary, and oh so easy to betray.

Sans, over there? Took the trust you gave so freely and he apparently threw it into a shadowy portal.

When you've been hurt as badly as you have? And feel free to correct me if my observation is wrong, because I'm NOT perfect and all knowing... But I know what I've seen in the past, and I see so much of it in you now.

When you've been hurt as badly as a person like you has been, trust is a an exceptionally scarce commodity. When you trust someone, you explicitly give them the opportunity to betray that trust, to hurt you. And that pain is worse than almost, ALMOST anything that someone else can do. Betrayal, among most cultures, is considered the ultimate sin.

I say almost, because there are of course outliers. Like, for example, reducing someone to a simple label like "knife-wielding murder child." Again, sorry about that, it was a poorly chosen brick on the road to a more important point. Anyway...
