( In Asriel's opinion, it's always better to make a text post when he's upset about something. He doesn't want to worry anyone, especially when he's well aware that he's someone who's rather sensitive. He just has a brief question to ask as it is. )

... We never really know when people leave when they do, huh?

Do you think that the people who leave ever come back...?

( It's hard not to miss friends that he's not sure he'll see again. He's lost people important to him before -- but at the least, those he know who have left are going home. Not only that, but they're going to back to a home where they still have friends and family waiting for them.

He just wishes he had a chance to at least say good bye. )

[They stop themselves from saying that they know about Asriel being alone, and that it was different from their own, because they still want to keep what they know from being with (and being) Frisk to themself.]

Never said it was easy, anyway. This is depressing, why don't you tell me more about your friends who left? Think about the good times you had and not dwell on the leaving part.

[letmewin]

( There's a pause then. It's like it's been between them since Asriel first got here. It's almost as if Chara is sidestepping any issues at hand. )

... I don't like it when you run away from things, Chara.

[corruptedsave]

[Sidestepping indeed, it makes everything easier to not discuss such things. At least that's what they think.]

I'm not? I'm still here, so there's no running away going on at all. Just you're sad and that's the more important thing right now.

[letmewin]

... I'll be okay. ( They're used to losing important people by now. )

But, if there's something else you're worried about - I want to be there for you, too.

[corruptedsave]

Hmmm... Nope, just worried about you!

[They're going to just sit now, and flash a smile at Asriel. They do mean it, they'd rather focus on their brother instead of anything else.]

[letmewin]

It's okay, Chara.

( It isn't like before. They aren't alone despite friends leaving. )

I've gotten used to saying good bye.

[corruptedsave]

That's not something you should be used to though.

[They know that Asriel isn't alone, he has them after all, but they can still find the situation bothersome.]

[letmewin]

I've said good bye to Mom, Dad -- Frisk... and you, too.

So, it doesn't hurt like it used to.

[corruptedsave]

Still.

[They huff and are just going to... Lean against Asriel now, they feel like they can't really make their point more obvious right now so just going to pout.]

[letmewin]

... Thanks, Chara.

( Asriel leans against them in return. )

I'll be okay - as long as you're here, too.

[corruptedsave]

That's good to know, that we'll both be okay like that.

[And they're just going to stay like this until Asriel is tired of it, or one of them needs to move. Whatever comes first.]
