[Even after second guessing himself on whether or not any full blown arguments happened in the past, the certainty in Sans's voice just cinches it: he really wouldn't blame him for anything. Sometimes, some reassuring goes a long way.]
GOOD...GOOD.
[Now that he thinks about it, they have been taking strides here in Wonderland about getting better. Ever since Papyrus first got pulled into Wonderland, all dressed in his royal garb, Sans was able to be honest with him and tell him about the true outcomes of his friends back home and not sugarcoating anything about Wonderland. Even just now, when he...essentially told Papyrus that he died during the last event. That definitely would not have happened back at home.
He smiles and rests his forehead on the top of his brother's skull.]
I THINK WE'RE TAKING SOME GOOD STEPS, BUT YES, I'M CERTAIN WE'LL GET THERE. WE JUST HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BE OPEN WITH EACH OTHER, EVEN IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE EXTREMELY BAD!!
[At least this is a good first step. If he can be more open with his family, then that should lead to being more open to his friends as well! ...although, to be honest, the thought of his friends knowing all of his uncertainties and thoughts and fears doesn't sound very appealing. They might not want to be friends with him anymore, and he'd rather keep his friends, thank you very much.]
AND...YOU'RE WELCOME, BROTHER. IF YOU EVER FEEL LIKE NOT DOING ANYTHING SOLELY BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT LIFE IS STUPID AND WONDERLAND IS HORRIBLE, LET ME KNOW. I CAN GIVE YOU THE SPEECH AGAIN AND PROVE TO YOU THAT THERE IS STILL SOME HOPE. EVEN IF WONDERLAND IS UNPREDICTABLE, IT DOESN'T MEAN OUR LIVES HAVE TO BE MISERABLE HERE!!
[He's partially saying that out loud for himself, too. This past event sucked, a lot, but it doesn't have to define them.
Although, speaking of that last event...Papyrus just realizes something.]
WAIT A MOMENT...IF YOU DIED YESTERDAY, AND THAT WAS YOUR SECOND DEATH, YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE UNTIL TOMORROW, TECHNICALLY. AND I KNOW THAT YOU WOULDN'T LIE ABOUT DYING ONCE, BECAUSE WHAT WOULD EVEN BENEFIT YOU ABOUT LYING ABOUT THAT?? SO...WHY ARE YOU BACK A DAY EARLY???
