[Oh, there's so much more about him that's sharp than just his memory. His words. His actions, when they finally arrive. His perception, without a doubt. Counting his victories merely by the look on Chara's face -- Chara, who could choose to emote at all, Chara, who could just wear a flat and empty smile -- it was observation and bluff, but it really did feel like Sans already knew what was going to happen even before Chara did sometimes.]
I know exactly what I am. I know exactly where I should be. I'm a very fast learner, Sans, and my memory is not so bad either.
[Not human. Burning in hell. They wonder, hesitate, agonize over their words again, carefully approach what comes next. They lost an inch of ground with a careless choice of words, now he latches onto their confusion. He was the one who gave them the word anomaly, and they shy away from it. He sees that.
They won't ask for a promise. Watch over them, and protect them, will you not? Promises are worth about as much to this guy as any other adult. Nor will they ask a favour, try to make a deal. They can't guess what he would want to get out of them, but they refuse to be in a position where they owe him. Appealing to his kindness...? Ha. c'mere, pal.
So, they'll have to fight for it, and fight like hell. Out come the threats.]
If you can be sharp, then let me be blunt. I have seen what happens when you can't afford to not care anymore. In that same timeline, you have seen what happens when I cease to care. When I distance myself, and thus find it easier to hurt others.
If my secrets are all I assign any meaning to. Then I'm sure you understand. What happens if they are not kept.
