[They've been busy. Hard to think about him without thinking of the Extractor, of that low, patronizing tone and the way they'd flinched as though struck.
It wasn't really him.
But they have to make sure. Have to cancel out, that reality with the actual one, and sever those ties. Selfish desires and even more selfish wants. That's nothing new. If he's anything like them, maybe - he needs this too. Can't know for sure unless they talk to him.
[Exhausted. He's exhausted. For all he knows, he's just been lying here for a few days, staring at the ceiling, not sleeping, not doing much of anything. Pretty much what's expected of a Sans, right?]
[His phone pings and he ignores it for a few minutes until 4 starts pawing at the blinking light. Then he doesn't have much choice.]
[It's a gentle bribe, little more. But if they don't - who's gonna get him to leave his room? It's not like they've seen him out and about as of late. Or that they expect him to show up out of the blue, after that event. Not if it was just as painful for him as it was for...everyone.]
[Frisk will forgive him. Frisk will always forgive him. Frisk hates themself enough to forgive him. He wonders what he did to them in their dreams. Considering the two of them, it was probably something terrible. He's certainly not the only one who had a bad time.]
i dunno
i'm pretty tired
[Terrible person, isn't he? They want to comfort themselves and him or whatever because everyone's had an awful event, and here he is being a giant deadweight.]
[They had a hunch it wouldn't take much to rouse him, because they had a hunch he wasn't asleep in the first place. Who would be sleeping, after that?]
[Should say something like - it's okay if you don't want to! But that's...they're already not very subtly manipulating him, forcing him. They should acknowledge it for what it is.

So call it...paying back a debt.]

[He should stop this. He should stop being difficult. Just give up. Why even try? Frisk wants him to be there, so.]
i'll be down in a few minutes

Accept it.]
