[Dying is easy. Don't rush to disappear, when those memories will linger. Forgiveness isn't something you can just expect to happen- not when your absence is simply a facade. Absence for the sake of not dealing with those issues.

She doesn't know, and that's okay. They have...something better than death, something they don't have to do alone, and until then, they can keep trying.

No one has to know. It's their secret- Chara's too. No one has to know.]

...I guess so.

[A sigh. The frown is still prominent, but at least there's a certain amount of thoughtfulness, to offset it. They trace the railing with their fingers, just to feel the texture.]

What do I do if people keep lying to me, though?

[That question hits a little closer to home than Rey would care to admit. The way her brother would flinch or react whenever she was near him, would move to touch him, is still very real in her mind. Reminding her that he doesn't trust her not to harm herself again, in addition to the derisions derived from her actions that others have served to her.

[And it's her fault. She has no one but herself to blame for this -- for any of this.]

Trust isn't something you can just hope for. You have to earn that.

Maybe it'll never happen. Maybe they'll always keep lying to you to avoid hurting you or being hurt themselves.

But if you really want things to change, you should prove to them that you're someone worth trusting. Just don't go in expecting a specific result, or you might end up sorely disappointed.

[Her advice is- probably sound. Maybe. The difficulty is simply that they're a kid, and whilst there's questions (always questions, about each and every little thing. Why certain things happen. Why others don't. Why things always hurt so, so much) Frisk doesn't have the confidence to utter them.

They nod, as if they understand completely, and the little questions get buried, along with the answer they already know for themself. If the specific result you're expecting is to be disappointed, does it even count as disappointment anymore?

You know they're lying, but that's your fault, isn't it?]

Okay.
