i'd die for her, truly

If there's one constant -- no matter the world, dimension, time, or galaxy -- that Sans holds close to the soul, it's this: it takes a lot of integrity to laugh at a fart joke.

Her laughter broadens his own grin considerably, pleased and maybe even relieved by it. His grin holds steady as she begins to speak, but it's not long into her plan that the corners of it begin to tighten.

By the time So-Yeon finishes relaying her plan, Sans isn't smiling so much as grimacing.

How often had he heard those words -- a world where monsters and humans live side by side -- spoken by his king? And how often had Sans selfishly shielded that king, his little brother, from the realities of what happened when that sort of idealism turned sour? It was too painful, imagining how he might react. How any of them might react.

But So-Yeon wasn't family, no matter how bright and clear her laughter was or how much he respected her. Sans heaves a sigh, glancing away from her for a moment, before letting his eyelights travel back to her gaze.

"Listen, kid... you're angry. I get it." Sans pinches his nasal bone, sockets squeezed briefly shut. "Believe me, I get it. But this isn't the way to get the peaceful world you're after. I need you to trust me on this, revenge won't bring you and the monsters that follow you anything but more pain."
