[Asriel's mouth twitches unhappily as the words strike him a little too hard.]

I'm not - I'm not crying about it!

[Anger bubbles to the surface, and Asriel can feel his fur ruffling. He can admit to being crybaby, but this? It ran so much deeper than he could possibly describe to anyone, and it still hurts. July hurt, and every month that followed just seemed to be another reminder of that awful month. It was crushing and inescapable, and just when he thinks he can move past it... things like finding out some people cloned you and put you up for sale happen.]

What do you even want me to do? They said they aren't gonna stop, and it's not like I didn't plead with them! They don't care.
