[There are a million things he could say to this but he's just. Run dry. Run down.]
i know you mean well.
[Oddly enough.]
know you're trying to help. but this isn't the
right way to do it.
not gonna traumatize them worse than they are. won't do that.
i'll talk to them. not now. later.
[Even if he thought it was a good idea to talk to Frisk right now, even if he thought it wouldn't make things worse, even if he was at all good at comforting people, he knows he's not fit to do much of anything right now. Least of all talk to people. Case in point.]

[Fuck why did he assume they would anyway. No wonder they're confused.]
[Still. Doesn't change his mind.]
