[Looking at her, their tone is dull. Jaded. It's not their fault you all proved them wrong, Muffet. They believed in you.
Once upon a time, you and the rest of your kind were good enough to die for.]
Monsters are made of love and compassion. That is what I was taught. Did you know, I actually believed it? I believed you all, believed monsters were superior to humans.
