Hahaha...Mettaton smiles, but it's strained. He's already stopped being himself, but telling Asriel taht would only make things worse, wouldn't they? He needn't burden the young boy with his identity crises. And so, he forces his smile to look a little more real.]

I'll always be your friend too, sweetheart. But no matter what happens, you'll still be the same Asriel to me, no matter what. I'll do whatever it takes to prove it.

I'll pull your SOUL out again, if that's what it takes. It wasn't hard last time, honestly...
