There's an out. This man was giving them both an easy out and given his actions thus far, even Chara is inclined to believe him. Rather than pull them around, he took the time to explain things first and asked permission. I promise I ain't gonna lay a finger on either of you without your say-so, okay?
Chara has no reason to believe something as flimsy as promises. They have their own memories and Reset after Reset to back it up. It never ended well. Putting your faith in someone who could turn around and betray that didn't go over so well either.
But they could say no. Chara could draw a line in the sand. And maybe...things wouldn't go sideways if they did.]
