Chara breathes in and out as quietly as they can manage. Asriel looks... determined now. Because of Frisk. And what they told him.
"Did they, now?" Chara says, pasting a placid smile on their face. Their throat feels too tight somehow, and they're surprised at how steady their voice sounds in comparison.
Asriel knows what happens in the future- well, so does Chara, obviously. And they can't help but think of how brave Asriel is being right now, standing up to them like this. And they can't help comparing it to how he was acting the last time they saw each other.
(* Creatures like us... Wouldn't hesitate to KILL each other if we got in each other's way.)
An impulse hits Chara, and they blurt out "Then you should know-"
They pause, and reach inside their pocket to grip the locket they took from Frisk, maintaining a stare upon Asriel's face the entire time. "-That I don't want to be friends with you anymore."
And it's better for everyone if they don't even try.
