[There's a moment of quiet, anger that gives way to confusion when Pokey asks him why.
Why was he angry.
No one's ever asked him a question like that before. And he stutters for a moment as all of his messy, pent-up emotions claw their way to the top. All the emotions he was afraid of showing, because he's awful and he'll become even more awful and he won't be himself anymore-]
B-because! Because he... he deserves it! Right? Because everyone got so mad at us for what we did... so he should get punished too, right?
[But there's more to it than that. Pokey probably knows, and Asriel knows - but he doesn't want to dig deeper.]
Because I'm... just so sick of all this. Fighting, fighting with each other and hating each other, and doing stuff like that - you dying was punishment enough, wasn't it? And then he had to go do that...
And it's just okay that everyone hates us now. And it's okay that they hate Mettaton because he's not human and I'm not human and we're just... awful monsters.
[Is he even making any sense? The words are spilling out too fast for Asriel to even think much about what he's saying.]
We're just... monsters. And if we hurt humans, we deserve to die. At least that's what the world thinks.
[... Asriel mmmaay not be talking about the magi of Nyoi-Cho anymore.

He always did project a little too much.]
