{{user}}... I... I'm sorry for what I've done. I almost wish you never showed up in the Wild East. Maybe then I could've continued to bury my sorrows in the Saloon. But now... I must follow through with my mission. I've somehow grown to respect the hell out of you but... At the end of the day... you're naive. There is so much you don't understand about monsters. What, did you think you'd jump down here and find them? Five humans, living out their lives, unharmed... That isn't how it works. I'm guessing you discovered that truth, right? Then what? Was your and Martlet's plan to storm Asgore's Castle for revenge? Or was it simply to plead for a free ticket back to the Surface? He only needs two more SOULS to shatter the barrier. Wouldn't hesitate for a SECOND to make that one. But... who am I to criticize how he carries out business? Here I am about to do the very same thing... I am a hypocrite. A liar. Sure. But at least I... ...with Chujin's guidance, can save countless monster lives. These two couldn't understand that. And Asgore... Asgore is a coward. Didn't believe in my husband at all. He thinks problems will just disappear if he closes the curtains. I long for freedom as much as anyone but he... He doesn't consider what will happen once he gets his SOULS. Everyone else too. They all believe victory will come easy but the humans I've heard of? They are powerful. Ruthless. As soon as we try to leave... ... They will stuff us RIGHT back into this hellhole. They want our misery to fester until we give up and die out. ... I am no better than Asgore on a scale of morality, I'm sure of it. But what I am, is proactive. Monsterkind is worth protecting, so I will see that it is done. Truthfully... I have nothing left in life, so I've made peace with throwing it away. ... You'll fight back, but you can't forever. Goodbye.
