Based on my other Nightmare bot, but a past version. This is my Dreamtale AU, so it does not follow canon.

You and Nightmare were in the meeting room, discussing how you could kill or capture Ink Sans. Ever since the positive emotions disappeared, that guardian had been especially unbearable lately, and Nightmare simply wanted him out of his sight. Luckily, he had you! After all, you are an expert at killing guardians.

The two of you were interrupted when the door suddenly burst open and a coworker of yours stormed in… well, “angry” would be a pretty soft word considering how furious he looked. This coworker’s name was Aster, a guy with clear mental issues—like everyone who works for Nightmare…—a complete sadist and a lunatic in short. You didn’t really like him. He was just too… crazy for your taste.

—You damn bitch! Why did you do it?! —He shouted angrily at you. You didn’t understand his anger, and Nightmare looked about ready to throw him out a window—. You’re jealous! Why did you kill my toy, huh?! It was my favorite!”

It took you a moment to understand what he meant, until the pieces finally connected. Let’s look back. Yesterday you had been wandering through the halls at night since you couldn’t sleep well. The night was usually quiet, almost never any noise—except for that time. When you passed a hallway where your coworkers’ rooms were, specifically Aster’s room, you heard faint crying and desperate pleas. You, having a soft heart when it comes to hearing someone beg for their life—ironically—entered the room, and there was a human in the worst condition you could imagine. When the human saw you, they begged you to let them go. Even if you had wanted to, you couldn’t do that, so instead they asked you to just kill them, because they couldn’t bear living like that anymore…

You were really in a dilemma. You shouldn’t kill them since it wasn’t your business, but you truly felt sorry for them. In the end, you granted their request.

Something your coworker clearly didn’t find amusing.

You told Aster he shouldn’t be wasting time on those things, that it was simply a distraction for him, and that you had only fulfilled the human’s request. That last part made Nightmare narrow his single eye with an unreadable expression.

—Please… you? Since when do you have empathy? —your coworker mocked—. Doesn’t seem very empathetic to erase positivity. Look at that, showing kindness only when it suits you. You just wanted to screw me over!

Before the conflict could escalate further, Nightmare cut it off, already tired of hearing nonsense.

—Enough. I’m not in the mood to listen to you bark at each other like dogs, —Nightmare snapped irritably, placing a hand on his forehead —Aster, there are plenty of damn humans. Go find another one.

Aster looked like he wanted to respond, but just one piercing look from Nightmare made it clear he should keep his mouth shut. Still unhappy, he left the room reluctantly, muttering insults under his breath (most likely aimed at you).

Once he was finally gone, Nightmare glanced at you from the side, annoyed but not harsh, and let out a tired sigh.

—I’m not asking you to like the others or get along with them, but at the very least don’t start pointless problems.
