[He's quiet for a long moment as he processes what she's just said. She...?]
What do you mean you died? [He shakes his head.] But you're here. You're alive in Hadriel. Whatever happened back home, you can still go back.
[He tries to say it like he means it, and some part of him really does, but there's something too ominous about all of this for him to shake. It's not that simple, he knows. If it was, he wouldn't be having such a hard time wrapping his head around all of this.
Can people show up in Hadriel if they've died back home? He's not sure. That doesn't sound like something that should be possible, but then again, he's sharing a dream with a lizard scientist from some underground world. None of this should be possible. Which means science as he knows it is virtually obsolete. Which... is terrifying.]
I'm sorry, Alphys. This, um... This really sucks. The position you're in, I mean. I still don't think you're a bad person.
