[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.

i just didn't want to leave you alone like that.

You sure you're a monster?

[Because monsters in his experience don't tend to be this... caring.]

they really are that different in your world, huh.

[It's exhausting, honestly. The same questions, the same disbelief, the same looks on people's faces over that word. Monster. It was funny for a good while there, but it's really starting to lose its charm. Or maybe he's just tired.]

Except for one. But... most of them are, yeah.

[Violent, mindless animals. He's killed so many of them. Could even kill the monsters here if he really wanted to. But he won't. He can't.]

Pretty common insult where I'm from. Gonna have to get used to the terminology here.

jeez.

[Same old, same old. It's like the Underground is the only place with decent monsters.]

been kind of an adjustment period for me, too.

[Cloud mentioned that he'd killed monsters, hadn't he? Wonder what's stopping him from doing it to all the ones in Wonderland.]

It's gotta be jarring for you.

[But then again, monsters in his world were treated pretty shitty as it was. Trapped them all underground and just left them to die. He can't imagine.]

I mean, I know some things. But everyone from your world's been welcoming so far.

pretty much. been here over a year and i still haven't gotten used to it.

[At least no one's tried to kill him yet.]

monsters from my world are generally pretty decent. it's gotta be weird for the rest of you.

For me at least, there's at least one back home who's kinda like you. I'd say two but that one's more of a robotic puppet so I dunno if that counts.

[But then again there's also the existance of Mettaton. Technicalities and all that.]

I think you'd like him. Very quiet. Kinda dog-like but he's not interested in bones.
