[This isn't the Mettaton that did those things, but that doesn't mean everything is sunshine and daisies now. If Chara has noticed one thing about doubles, it's that they appear to share common core personality traits - it says something that it took the discrepancy of the crown to really notice. So they're still going to dislike this one, on principle.
But they can save a certain amount of ire for the one they know for a fact deserves it.]
