[All Papyrus can do is just lower his head and sink himself further. It's one thing when it comes to trying to figure out what makes a place tick. There should be a set of rules in order to guide how things work.
With Wonderland, all of that is just thrown out the window. How can anyone expect to know what's going on here when Wonderland just keeps changing, especially when the changes are as drastic as this? It's like it's designed to crush all hope.
...]
I...OKAY, I'LL TRY.
[If he doesn't at least try to not be so hard on himself, when would he stop? Falling into self depreciation is a slippery hill, one that he's not planning on spiraling down anytime soon.]
IT'S JUST WONDERLAND...RIGHT.
[He lets out a shaky sigh.]
THIS...PROBABLY WON'T BE THE LAST TIME WONDERLAND GIVES US A HORRIBLE EVENT LIKE THIS, RIGHT?? SO LONG AS THERE ARE BAD MEMORIES, THEN IT'LL HAVE AMMUNITION FOR BAD EVENTS.
[There's a weird silver line in there somewhere, and that's having prior experience to other bad events. At least now, next time if there's an event where everyone has to go underground for cover, he'll have a much better plan. More experiences means better planning, which means a better outcome.
He nods into Sans's shoulder again, still holding on as tight as he possibly can.]
NEXT TIME WILL BE BETTER. I'M GOING TO BECOME MUCH BETTER AT SAVING EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY YOU. JUST YOU WAIT. I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE IN THAT EASILY. IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT MORE THAN THIS TO KNOCK DOWN THE GREAT PAPYRUS!!
