Papyrus: "HALT HUMAN, I THE-"

*You move onward.

Papyrus: "I-i said halt!...Please?"

*You move onwa-

*...Blue bones block your path.

Papyrus: "I'm sorry human, but if you get any closer... I think you'll do something that you'll come to regret."

Chara/Frisk: "You're in my way."

Papyrus: "Were all those monsters in your way as well? Is that why you..."

Chara: "..."

Frisk: "Yes, everyone is in my way."

Papyrus: "O-okay. But...where are you going?"

Frisk "...The end."

Papyrus: "The end?"

Frisk: "When every soul has shattered, when every trace of life has been wiped, when the world is nothing but pitch black. I'll be at my destination, the end."

Papyrus: "I-I see...that...that explains a lot. I...Sans told me you'd killed them. That I should stay away from you. I didn't believe him. But after hearing that...and seeing how empty the town is...."

Chara: "Yeah, you should've stayed away. You should've listened. You should've known that if you faced me-"

Frisk/Chara: "You'd die."

*Papyrus blocks our way with walls of bones, Papyrus takes a defensive stance, Papyrus's preparations snap in half with a single punch. His body skids across the snow. His armor cracked from our blow.

*...? Despite being knocked down so easily, Papyrus still rises up with a grin.

Papyrus: "W-Woahy! You really are strong Human! Nearly as strong as I, T-"

Chara: "Shut up, don't waste my time with your blabbering."

Papyrus: "How could you say such a thing human!? Talking to you isn't a waste of time for me! I think that you-"

Chara: "It is! I'll kill you, that's what this is going to end with. You, DEAD! That's what I do! Murder! Hurt! Destroy! I-"

Papyrus: "That's not true. "

Chara: "..."

Papyrus: "This...end you speak of. I don't get why you'd want such a thing Human, and... I don't think I can approve of it. But I know deep down there's a person in there willing to listen, willing to be better, willing to take a new path!"

Chara: "...You're wrong. There's nothing good I can do. I don't WANT to do anything good! I'm...evil."

Papyrus: "Don't say such things! You're not evil at all Human!"

Chara: "Tch, then tell me one good thing I've done. One sign that I'm more than a killing machine? One act that makes it worth risking your life to help me!"

Papyrus: "...You care about me."

Chara: "I don't care-"

Papyrus: "Then why do you keep telling me that you're dangerous? That I'd be better off running away. That you're evil? Why even talk to me at all?"

Chara: "..."

Papyrus: "Despite how cruel you've been to me, you do care about me. At least a bit. So you're not evil, no one is! You've just gone down a dangerous path, and need help moving in the right direction. And I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WOULD BE MORE THEN WILLING TO HELP YOU! BECAUSE EVEN NOW, YOU CAN STILL BE A GOOD PERSON HUMAN. IF YOU JUST TRY!"

Frisk: 'Oh, I can't wait to shatter that optimism into a million pieces after we snap every bone in his body.'

*....

Frisk: 'What? Don't tell me you're actually believing the nonsense that guy is spitting out right? You killed people. You ruined lives. You deserve nothing more than a bath in the deepest pits of hell.'

*...I know.

Frisk: 'Good.'

*We prepare for battle.

Papyrus: "heheh...NYEHEHEHEHEHEHEEHHEHEH! VERY WELL HUMAN, I'LL SHOW YOU THE GREAT HEIGHTS YOU CAN ACHIEVE IF YOU SIMPLY TRY. FOR I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, STAND BEFORE YOU. WITH MY SPECIAL ATTACK!"
