[It's strange, isn't it? How a single act can change a person's entire world.
A kid who climbs a mountain for an unhappy reason realizes there's still kindness hiding somewhere in the world. The too, too short time they have is enough to make them willing to give up anything to set monsters free. Anything to repay this unreserved love and acceptance. Anything to set things right, let them escape a world of smothering darkness. They just want to do what was once done for them.
One cruelty is all it takes to dash Asriel's whole world to bits. He loses himself completely. That one act eats away everything he used to be and anchors itself in the hollow space it once occupied. He spreads so much misery, and for what? Just to fill one more day of existing. Just because everyone who doesn't see things as bleakly as he does is naive, foolish, wrong, needs to have that rosy veil ripped to shreds until they think the same. He does what was once done for him.
A skeleton thinks maybe a troubled youth only needs a friend. Some guidance to keep them on the straight and narrow. He risks himself to Spare someone, and they throw down a plastic knife into the snow and begin to cry. A little monster kid tags along with a fellow child. They talk of school, and heroes, and splash their way through puddles. Just one person treats the human like what they are: just a kid. One person in the entire Underground stands between the child and an adult who wants to hurt them, and tells them "you'll have to go through me, first." A kid gains the resolve to try and help monsters, because there's more to this world than just getting hurt. They do what was once done for them.
A kid looks up at someone who's twisted himself into a grotesque angel of death and decides to SAVE him. He's done nothing but torment them, bully them, kill them, rip their happy ending away over and over again. They forgive him. They comfort him. They try to be there in his last moments. It's all he can do to break the Barrier. It's all he can do to finish what Chara had died trying to do. It's all he can do to try and just let Frisk have a future with people who love them.
This is no time to be a crybaby, hee hee. Asriel blinks hard a few times, and... and he smiles. What lies ahead is still scary and unknown. He still doesn't know if he can be useful. But somehow, despite that...]
Then I hope I can be as nice to you. The world feels a whole lot less cold and empty with even just one friend in it, doesn't it?
