[He sounds so firm. So sure. That feeling stirs again along with a sense of relief. He's nothing like his mirror. He's nothing like him.
But that's wrong, isn't it? He shouldn't be happy to hear he's not like him. Relief shouldn't be flooding his soul at the thought. No, it's a compliment to be like his mirror. It's a good thing. They're both selfish and cruel but talented stars and they own that designation. They're not nice. And that's fine.]
I. I mean. That's. One way to look at it.
[His head feels a little muddied right now. Starting to mix things up. But he can focus on Chara. Yes. They make sense.]
Both of those kids need so much. They deserve so much better than they got. So much more than they continue to get.
[He doesn't know why he's saying this now. Especially in front of his mirror but he wants to say it. He almost feels like he needs to say it, like caring for them is more than just caring for them but that's silly. It's silly. He's being silly and weak.]
Sans, I am listening. Just because I don't agree doesn't mean I am not listening entirely.
[His mirror is good. He can be rude and mean and strange but he's good. He's good because he takes care of Mettaton. He supports him. Despite being separated from him, his mirror does his best to make sure he never leaves Mettaton's side and he's grateful. Yes. Grateful.
...Papyrus's mirror. Right. That was when Sans...
The hand tugs, insistent. Right. Gotta go.]
Mm. Fine. I'll try to pay attention to this but really it's a waste of time.
[A waste of time. A waste of space. A waste of energy. There's nothing to worry about Sans. Mettaton tentatively closes his hand over his mirror's again.

Nothing to worry about at all.]
