Asriel isn't a user. Frisk has done everything they can—and several things they shouldn't—to similarly discount themselves. Chara is the only remainder. The only one with even a query listed on the file.

This argument hasn't made that case much stronger.

If they want to scorn him as a user, they shouldn't have used his name. If they wanted to exclude his data, they shouldn't have asked how. Rinzler is used to dirty, and this is one of the poorer efforts he's seen. Easy to return face value.

"I was there."

Rinzler's speech is all sharp edges, but that one surfaces more strongly than the rest. Bitterness, hostility, a wealth of buried loathing... but not toward Chara. Someone else.

"Asriel was captured. Used. Frisk tried to recode themselves. Both reformatted. Both rectified."

He's glaring now, noise seething out in ragged intervals. And there's something to the oscillations in his voice, something to the faint fluctuation of the enforcer's glow. Bright and dark. Bright and dark. They've seen it before.

"Didn't happen on your watch."
