Mm, no. That's not true. I wanted their soul so I could get out and follow my own dreams. I only needed one soul to do that, as opposed to the seven needed to break the barrier. Just one would do.
[He's not comfortable admitting it, especially knowing damn well that, at the time, he could have just passed the soul onto Asgore and allowed him to break the barrier. Then everyone would be free.
After finishing speaking, he buries his face into his own knees, curling up tighter. He wanted to disappear.
Why was Mettaton doing this to himself?
...Because he deserved it. He deserved to feel like a bad person, especially after how many he had murdered under the command of his slaver.]
