Listen, about the last event...

Don't take any of that to heart.

ha ha wait you don't have a heart right

wait no i didn't mean it like that

anyway uh

Yeah, I wasn't really. Thinkin too well back there. Sorry.

I get if you don't wanna talk anymore that's fine

but i didn't

it was stupid. rude.

but i appreciate the help so uh

thanks

im sorry

bye

[It, uh, takes him a little while to parse this. Partially because it takes him a second to realize which event Cloud is referring to. He's pretty sure they didn't talk at all during the dream event though, haha, Sans certainly did dream about him. So he means the flood event, with the Reset, which means...ah, okay. Makes sense now.]

lmao it's okay this isn't the first time i've gotten like twelve texts in a row.

and hey i get it

no one was thinkin too clearly during that one.

been a pretty wild month, right?

i don't blame you

and i'm happy to still talk with you if you want

[After a few minutes, Cloud had set down his phone to go take a walk outside, because there's no possible way Sans is even going to acknowledge any of that. Whining and pitiful and pathetic. He just drives everyone away.

But when he comes back about an hour later, he's a little more calm and he sees the response, which is... a shock, really.]

Sorry. Hope there's no such thing as minutes in this world.

Wasn't even sure if anybody fully remembered that one, but

I'm glad you're still here.

nah i think we're all automatically on an unlimited plan

for what it's worth, i'm glad you're still here too.

For as long as I can be, anyway.

best any of us can ever do, right?

Yeah.

It's appreciated, though. Thanks.

no problem.

You won't uh

tell anyone what you saw, right?

i didn't realize it was a secret

but no, i won't tell anyone.

It's. Not really somethin that's easy to talk about. Especially if you're from another world.

i gotcha.

won't tell anyone and i won't press for details.

It's important to know that if I ever do that in person, you don't touch me. It's contagious. And I don't know for sure if dyin even fixes it.

I'm sorry.

things that are contagious among humans usually don't affect monsters.

but don't worry, i never take chances if i can help it.

It can affect anything. Even monsters. I've seen it.

It's not just me, back home.

like i said, i don't take chances.

don't worry about me.

Good.

[That's good. Next time he should just ignore him altogether. It'll work out better for everyone involved.]

Like I said, it's... complicated. Rather it only be me than anyone else, yeah?

i get that.

[He knows the feeling pretty damn well.]

[A few minutes pass.]

You didn't have to do that yknow. But I appreciate it.
