No one's going to take you away from your mum if she comes back or any of the other non-humans here, Frisk. What you're doing is helpful. I know it's hard for you to see, but even just trying can give people hope. They see that you're making the effort, that you're striving and determined and maybe being a kid makes it even more important. Us adults look at that and think 'if a little kid can do it, then what the hell am I doing not trying at all?'

You're an inspiration. I know it doesn't much feel like it and you've lost far more than you should have... but you're an admirable young person. You need to know that.

[For the longest time they don't say anything.]

How do I believe it?

[Because they don't. They aren't sure they ever can.]

[jumpthegun]

[He answers their question with one of his own.]

Do you trust me?

[despiteeverything]

I...

[That's a strange sort of question.]

Yeah, I think so.

[Maybe not in every way, not on a conscious level. But on the whole, they believe they do.]

Then could you believe it a little bit because I believe it and have told you it's true? I know you might not trust yourself, Frisk. But that's when you have to turn to the people you trust to see what they think. That's honestly what I believe about you.
