It took around ten minutes for Sans and Alphys to test Chara. She was healthy in all areas except her weight. She was extremely underweight. Chara was five feet and six inches tall, but only ninety pounds.
"Wh- when was the l- last time y- you ate, Chara? Y- you are really underweight. You o- only weight n- ninety pounds, but you a- are five and a h- half feet tall," Alphys said.
"I ate some noodles four timelines ago when I was fighting-" Chara said. She started sobbing. She slumped down against the wall.
"kiddo! what happened?" Sans asked fearfully.
"S- Sans, I think that sh- she is just s- suffering from her m- memories when she w- was a genocide crazy m- murderer. I th- think that my question m- made her think back t- to a time when she was fighting someone h- here. I think that it m- might have been y- you, Sans," Alphys said.
Sans nodded. He sat next to Chara. "hey, chara. i'm sorry that alphys and i invoked those emotions. how about we head out and say hi to the people that came in?"
Chara stood up and wiped her tears on her sleeve. She walked out of the room and saw Toriel sitting with Papyrus, Lesser Dog, Greater Dog, and Monster Kid. They were all playing cards. Monster Kid had a little touchscreen board that he was using to play.
"Yo, Chara! Sorry that you ain't feelin' well. Do you wanna play cards with us?" Monster Kid asked.
"ALSO, I SAVED A SEAT FOR SANS AND ALPHYS IF THEY WANT TO PLAY TOO! TORIEL SAYS THAT IT WILL HELP ALL OF US BECOME BOUND!" Papyrus added.
Toriel laughed and then said, "Papyrus, it will help us bond, not get bounded. Still, I think that we should all play!"
"But, I..." Chara started. Everyone looked at her.
"... killed all of you..." she finished.
"but that wasn't you, chara. it was your EXP," Sans said.
"Yea, it wasn't you! It was the black goop!" said Monster Kid.
"Say, what's your real name?" Chara asked, feeling better and not wanting the attention on her.
"H- his real name is Ehmkey," Alphys said.
"Yea!" said Ehmkey, "but I prefer the letters: MK!"
"Alphys, how do you know this?" Toriel asked.
"Oh, d- did you guys not kn- know? MK and I a- are cousins," Alphys said. Everyone got quiet and stared at them for a moment. Sans, Alphys, and Chara all took a seat.
The group started to play cards. They were playing a game Alphys found in the garbage dump called "nase 1C". Lesser Dog won the first round. MK won the second. Papyrus won the third. Chara won the next three. Sans won the seventh. Alphys won the eighth and ninth. Toriel won the tenth.
Then, the door slid open once again.
"Hello-O! Is the brilliant doctor Alphys here!? Is the determined killer here? The twin skeleton sentries! The fabulous, gorgeous Mettaton is here!" said the familiar boxy robot.
Next to Mettaton, Doggo, Dogeressa, and Dogmay stood there.
"Oh... Hey... Its me, Napstablook..." said Napstablook, who was behind the dogs.
Chara just stared forward. Her face was pale. Her cheeks were red. Tears started were forming in her eyes.
"My child, is everything alright?" Toriel asked looking at Chara.
Chara started to speak. "Is that..."
"... is that what I am to all of you? A dirty killer? A genocide crazy murderer? A determined killer? I thought that I you thought I had changed..."
"... I thought that I had changed..."
"... I thought that I was getting better. . ."
Everyone just stared at Chara. Tears were constantly flowing from her eyes.
"By keeping me separate, you can protect yourselves..."
"... By keeping me imprisoned, you can protect yourselves."
Sans looked downward. So did Toriel, Alphys, and MK.
"It's a beautiful day outside..." Chara said.
"Birds are singing..." Chara said.
"Flowers are blooming..." Chara said.
"On days like this, kids like me..." Chara said.
"don't..." Sans said, tears filling his eye sockets.
"Should be burning in hell..." Chara finished.
Mettaton just stood there. Sans sat with tears falling out of his eyes. Papyrus looked at Chara with a sad but compassionate look. Alphys just closed her eyes. Toriel looked at Chara with disappointment. Napstablook stared. MK bit his lip. All the dogs looked at one another. Chara stood up and left the lab. She had tears flowing from her eyes. Sans stood up and started to walk after her, but Toriel put a hand on his shoulder with a glance that said 'No'. He sat back down, fearful for Chara.
