[He's quiet after he finishes the explanation, wondering what Papyrus is going to think about all that. It's corny, sure, but maybe it also...sounds weird. People aren't supposed to be dependent on each other the way binary stars are, right?]
[He grins again when Papyrus nudges him.]
hehe, exactly. there's no way i'd be a big, bright star. so that's gotta be you.
[He remembers a similar talk with Mettaton. Stars are kind of like souls. Even a tiny, withered dim soul like Sans's is at least still a star.]
uh...heh, sorta. the metaphor kinda falls apart when you dig into it too much...
[He also doesn't want to say that sometimes the smaller star siphons off material from the larger star, leeching its energy until both stars are destroyed in a supernova. That seems...kinda morbid.]
but...yeah. heh. wherever one star goes...the other goes too.
