"I…" I feel my eyes welling up.
"We're here for you." She says.
"No-, I…"
"We're here for you," she says again, "never forget that."
"N-," I stammer as I feel the first few tears run down my cheeks, mingling with the soft fur on her face, "Never…?
"No, Chara." She says, hugging me closer, "No matter what." I can't hold it in anymore. I start spluttering as I bury my eyes in her arms, my nose blocked, my tears streaming down her arms,

"I'm so sorry…" I say through the onslaught of water from my eyes.
"It's okay…"
"I'm so sorry..."
"It's okay…"
"Never again…"
"Never."
That night, as I lay trying to forget, Asriel called to me from the other side of the room.
"Chara?" He asks. I pause for a few seconds.
"Yeah?"
"Do you feel bad?" He asks. I sit up and turn to him.
"What do you mean?"
"I just…" He trails off. He gets up and comes over, sitting down and crossing his legs next to my mattress. "I want you to know that I don't think you should blame yourself."
