Brief as Sans's stricken expression is, Chara's still watching him intently enough to catch it- and they're surprised to feel a strange thrill actually run through them. Even after eradicating all but the most powerful monsters in the underground they haven't quite felt this sort of power before. Knowing that Sans, an adult, an adult who hates them no less, is being forced to listen to Chara. Is affected by their words, no matter how much he hates it.
But as for the words Sans addresses to Chara, well... they don't have as much of an effect on them, even when he mentions their funeral, or that people bothered to show up for it. Chara supposes a normal person should feel something at that, but that's not a category they've ever fallen into, is it?
No, it's Sans who's reacting like a person should, him and the other child, who Chara can still feel trembling in their arms. And Sans is standing there, the picture of submission, eye sockets glistening with wet tears, his arms spread wide open. Unfortunately for him, Chara knows better than to put any faith in the gesture- a few tears don't change anything, and arms that open up only do so to trap you.
They hear a choked sob slip out of the other child's throat, and suddenly they feel such a wave of strong disgust that it's all Chara can do not to shove the other child away.
Instead, they speak up, their voice icy: "My first suggestion is that you two cease crying. It's pointless. And pathetic."
