[It's not a good excuse, and Asriel knows it's not the only reason. He's sure Mettaton knows too. But... Mettaton has also seen his timeline. While Asriel isn't sure just how much he knows, he certainly knows the connection between Asriel and Flowey.
Did he also know that if he goes back with no SOUL, he'll just turn back into a flower again?
Asriel's hands are trembling - maybe it's a good thing that Mettaton can't look back at him, but the tone of his voice tells Asriel how he's feeling right now.]
I... I tried to believe what you said, I really did! But I can't stop thinking about it. If we go home, and if for some reason my SOUL isn't there, I won't just disappear!
I'll... I'll turn back into Flowey. I'll lose everything I've ever had here, including our friendship. And the family I've got with Frisk and mom... I won't be able to feel anything anymore.

I can't... I just can't do it...
[He'd rather die.]
I'm so sorry, Mettaton...
