[Pokey nods as Asriel spoke. He told him about it before, after the shitshow that was August. ...God. Had things really been slowly going downhill steadily for that long?
There it is again. That feeling of empathy because of how similar he feels to Asriel on this. But the truth of the matter is that it probably couldn't be much worse at this point. Honestly, the people here are likely to be far more forgiving of it because Asriel is a kid. But that doesn't mean much right now. Doesn't help, for sure.
Because right now the important part is obvious.]
...It's possible a lot of people would be angry Asriel. But I think the people who matter, who actually talked to you, would know better.
...There are people who are going to hold being a monster against you. That's what you're worried about a lot, right? ...I'm not going to lie. Some of them are here for sure.
[Stay away from Bonnie is something that comes immediately to mind. ...He pushes it down. For now. Bonnie is trying to cooperate with others. Whether there's anything genuinely 'good' about that, he doesn't know, but she's not starting fights or shit. He'll attempt to trust her in that for now.]
...But I don't think people are going to be prejudiced against you as they were back home. To a lot of them here, you're one of them. ...That's part of why they're so pissed at us. But I think a lot of people know you're also one of the least to blame for what happened.
This place isn't like your home, Asriel. A lot of the people are going to be more accepting of you then they would back there.
