[Chara hasn't processed those words either. It wasn't that they wanted to focus on what his double said, it's just--
"You'd think everyone's learned by now, what happens to the people you claim to love."
Easier to understand. Easier to apply. They could see themselves as the monster who turned someone else to dust at their most vulnerable rather than the one who came when someone called for help.
"Chara" was what came when one called for Genocide. They can't help anyone.
Wade finishes with Frisk and they take the folder from Chara. So it's their turn. And Chara's sure that what Wade said still applied. They could still say 'no' to this, and a part of them wants to. Even if someone came to them with the best intentions in mind there was always that voice in the back of their head that says it will never end well. And as nice as Wade has been so far, he was still an adult. Still something that set off warning bells.
But Frisk was here. And what they said about Chara not allowing Wade to hurt them applied both ways. They don't know a thing about what the man was capable of, but that wouldn't stop them. So Chara takes a deep breath and closes their eyes before lifting their own shirt.
Like they said, there were a few nicks along their skin from a knife. LV 14 was a time when you knew exactly where to slash with a knife to hurt someone. But there's also a plethora of bruises dotting Chara's skin, from having to tank quite a few blue bones and jump out of the second floor of a building as it fell apart.
There are also some old scars, clumped very close to each other, on their left side. But ignore those. They don't matter.]
