Are you going to be okay?

[He knows the answer probably feels like no.]

Are you with anyone right now?

[despiteeverything]

[The answer to both those questions is in fact no. But they also know one of those "no"s is not going to sit very well with anybody.]

Im going to where she woke up last

[Truthfully they'd already started heading that direction, as soon as they split up from Enoch (reluctantly, on his part) to search.]

[definingfuture]

You shouldn't be alone.

[That lack of answer definitely causes concerns.]

Were you traveling with anyone else recently?

[despiteeverything]

Mom n Enoch

We split up to look for her

my idea

[Because they're not letting him or anyone take a fall for them, no matter how bad they feel.]

[definingfuture]

Contact Enoch again. I think it's better for both of you.

I'll stay on, too. You should stick with someone for the time being.

[The tablet screen must be broken, shaking too bad for their fingers to even connect with the keys they want. Some stupid prank of the town's and certainly not their everything- especially their hands - shaking too badly to do hardly anything requiring dexterity.]

So people can tell me that it's all right? That she'll be right back?

[They don't know that. Nobody does.]

Or that it doesn't matter that she's gone? That she loved me and she always will and she's proud of me for being so strong? That she'll always be there to help me, even if she can't make pie on bad days or help with my homework or make the news people go away, or sing when I can't sleep or any of that stuff? That it's not my fault? That it'll be okay?

[Every platitude they heard and hated and vaguely remembered when they were five and their first parents died comes spilling out of them, every empty word that couldn't fill the hole they felt.]

Aw, kid...

[Damn. He knows how hard it is, maybe not personally, but he knows it's hard. He's lost friends and family, and Frisk is right. Nothing said can actually replace a person.]

It does matter. Of course it matters. That's not why I'm saying you should be with someone. Your friends are there to help. They worry too, and being on your own just isn't a great plan.

Because it's not okay to suffer like this alone.
