Chara's mother continues yelling, but starts to make sobbing noises as Well. Clutching at her face, she lurches back further and begins to unsteadily circle around the able.
From the moment Frisk started screaming Chara's had their head ducked head, hands pressed against their ears. It takes a moment before Frisk's word really registers, but then Chara's head jerks back up.
"I-" they try to speak, before a sob from their mother cuts them off. (* God damn it!) How do they make Frisk understand...?
"Frisk-" Chara swallows hard. "Frisk, I can't-!"
Chara yanks their leg up, as far as it can go, banging their knee against the table in the process and shoving it back. The table slides across the floor with a wet noise, revealing what's keeping Chara in their chair: An iron shackle is wrapped around their ankle, and the chain attached is bolted to the floor beside their chair.
