[Frisk stiffens and then looks... slightly terrified, maybe, and Steve doesn't really know why but wow, no, that had not been his intention at all. He gives Frisk a little squeeze.] Aw, hey, don't look like that, Frisk—if it's some kinda secret I don't gotta tell nobody.
[Steve means it; he keeps his voice to a low murmur. He frowns down at Frisk, pondering this revelation. ...Jeez, that's—that's an unfathomable amount of power to have, really. For anyone, but especially for a little kid. He can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to deal with, how to understand what it means to have that power. Wanda's got immense power too, and she's young and struggling to deal with it, but she's not a child. ...Christ, this explains so much about Frisk. So much.
Now that Steve's thinking about it, he wonders if he should've been able to figure this out sooner. Frisk talked about people not being able to remember when a Reset happens, but Frisk knew all about it. Steve had kinda figured maybe it was just a feature of Frisk's world that people just generally knew about, but that's starting to look like it's not the case. And... oh.]
