Since you were there, though. Do you... think we did the right thing? He was attacking you, right? So he was dangerous?
[ She really wants to feel good about this outcome. It was easy to write off Perdition's Rest, but the unhappy ending here in Woodhurst is leaving her a little... dissatisfied. ]
He ran away. If we'd let him escape... he would have reported his findings back to his people, and they would have known about us. They could have weaponized the virus and used it against us again.
I don't know about "right" or not, but... it was the only thing we could do.
[luckily Mettaton has helped her push the worst of her feelings aside, but some still linger.] I've never had so many... organic friends before. The only human I even knew that well before I came here is still half-gem. It's still hard for me to get my head around how easy they can get hurt and not wave it off.
[that's better than her Percy issues, anyway. that one can't be solved by Mettaton's infallible logic.]
Oh. 38( Yes that will happen! But us organic people are more durable than we look, too! Even regular humans can be pretty determined to live when they set their minds to it.
I've noticed that. It's just going to take some getting used to.
Especially when they all worry about me, and I can survive almost anything without even needing to reform! It's a nice feeling, knowing people worry, though. It's never really happened to me before... Well, not like this.

I MEAN... I am glad I have feelings. Actual real genuine feelings, but they can be inconvenient. And I'm not used to feeling them. I'm still learning what they all are, honestly.
