Frisk's not crying anymore, so they scrub at their face to wipe the tears off. And then they leave their hands there for a minute.
This is not the first time they've had to explain everything to somebody. They just thought they wouldn't have to with Kris.
A groan is muffled before they drop their hands again. 'Yes. Where I'm from, monsters and humans had a war. A long time ago. Monsters lost and got locked up and humans forgot. Mt. E-B-O-T-T was where they were forced to live under. Stuff and people could get in, but not out. Toriel and A-S-G-O-R-E were the queen and king. Asriel was born a lot later underground. And I fell down a long time after that.'
They kind of hope Kris doesn't press about Asriel.
'And that!' They point at the symbol on the carpet as a distraction, and maybe it's a clue. 'That's the...the...D-E-L-T-A R-U-N-E. It was supposed to be about monsters going free from the Underground.'
