[The chuckle is bitter, but it's not completely bad and Mettaton smiles. She pulls out of the hug and Mettaton stands up in turn.]

Very well, dear. I should also be going.

[He gives her another fond and gentle smile.]

Take care of yourself, all right, Max?

[She considers not answering, but instead gives a little nod and a forced smile. She has been taking care of herself... in her own way.

She grips the cigarette pack in her pocket, craving one at the moment, and only waiting for Mettaton to leave. She wonders if Chloe ever smoked in the gardens- wonders if the familiar and comforting smell of it will be washed out in the winter air.]

See you around, Mettaton.
