Frisk would like to think they won't. And they are trying very, very hard, at this moment, to put it out of their mind. Don't think about it. Don't think about it. Don't think about it.
But words stain and scar and hurt. They won't ever forget what Alphys said, not really. For the moment, at least, something is really wrong. And for the moment, at least, Frisk has a reason to be running about as they are, ignoring burning lungs and wobbly legs, to grit their teeth and make sure that the few times their eyes blur are the only times their eyes blur. Chara, Asriel, Sans, Papyrus. That's the priority right now. And everything else can be stuffed right down, until it's not second, or third, or any place at all.

They practically run into Chara in their distress. A gasping, wheezing mess that stops a few inches from collision, and takes a few steps back, because their partner won't appreciate it and big kids don't cry, silly.]
