i...

[There's a pause.]

uh...yeah, just. just wanted to warn you about her. i don't know if you've met her or...know about her, but, uh...

just be careful. that's all.

[Well.

She saw mirror-Max once and avoided her like crazy. Max's curiosity is piqued now... as is her concern. He doesn't sound okay. And he bumped into her mirror.

God, why do these things have to be so difficult?

She can't just... leave him hanging like this if her mirror did something to him, right? She's... probably responsible for making sure he's okay.

And he made sure she was okay, in Genosha...]

...What happened?

nah, it's fine. just wanted to let you know she's, uh, around and she's...basically just like all the other mirrors. weird, dangerous. so just be careful.

[There's a long pause on the line before she finally mumbles.]

...Chloe. Would, uhh, should I be worried about Chloe? If my mirror... meets her?

...yeah. i think so. she's, uh, pretending to be you, like they do. she's not very good at it, but she...

[He was starting to back off, because Sans himself isn't important here, but if someone Max cares about is actually in danger too...]

she...can do something. she did something. something to time. she rewound it, i think. it doesn't snap back, it...drags. i'm not sure.

[God-

Fucking-

There is a long, long pause on her end.]

T-This is some- some Wonderland bullshit!

[Her mirror can fucking rewind? Sure, give the crazy kid (Max is sure she must be crazy- she's always smiling) the reality-tearing power. It's not like Max wants it, but who knows what mirror-Max will get up to?]

No, you must have-... it's a really confusing event. Maybe it was Chara or something, Sans. She can't have. Or she was bluffing. You wouldn't have remembered-

[She stops short. Cuts herself off with an alarmed gasp. She's said too much.]

I- I mean-...

[He's quiet for a little while. There's a whispery sort of hiss, bone scraping gently against bone.]

[He wonders if Max can do the same thing. If that was the "time stuff" she didn't want anyone to know about. Probably. Her tone certainly suggests it.]

yeah, uh. maybe i'm wrong.

[He knows he's not, but he genuinely doesn't remember the details. She shoved him off a roof, he teleported, then--]

[Felt like being dragged across rocky grown and then abruptly thrown into a woodchipper. Felt like shattering.]

just wanted to warn you. just, uh. watch your back, keep an eye on your friend. that's...

that's all.

...Okay. Fine.

[Sans is really starting to get on her nerves.

She knows it's not his fault. Knows he's trying to look out for her. But all the same, recently everything to do with him has something to do with time as well.

And that's not something she's happy with.]

Thanks I guess...

[He hears that tone. Maybe he shouldn't have said anything at all. If she's got the same power as her Mirror, she probably could have handled her on her own.]

[This is fine. It's fine. It's not about him. What's important is that she's safe.]

[Honestly he's kind of...glad. She saw him for the person he really is and distanced herself. Good for her. Smart kid.]

sorry. for, uh. all of this, i guess. all of it.

good luck.

[He hangs up.]
