[It's almost comforting. Much more comforting than a quiet threat at the bridge, than the perpetually empty threat at the hotel. Those always rang so hollow, even at his most intimidating. "here is some advice for fighting my brother...don't." Except that it doesn't matter, it's empty, because he just vanishes after Papyrus dies. Even Sans isn't sure what he actually does in all that time. Follow the human around? Wallow in his room? Maybe in some distant, early timeline he actually acted, actually tried to save Papyrus, actually went after the anomaly as soon as his brother's dust hit the snow. Wishful thinking, maybe.]
[It doesn't have to be that way this time. It's not even hope really, or any sudden willingness to care and act, because at the end of the day, all of this is still impermanent. Papyrus has left Wonderland once already and he might do so again. Even if he doesn't, Sans will leave eventually. The difference is that this timeline, everything in Wonderland--it's all one timeline, and it's all completely self-enclosed. Nothing that happens here has any bearing on the Underground, but it has all the bearing on the future of this timeline.]
[Wonderland is different, and he has to start treating it that way.]
gotta admit, it's kinda nice to agree on something.
