[When Sans eventually returns back to his room, he'll find a note waiting for him on his board.]

Someone's having a rough night.

[punnybone]

[...This is the last thing he needs right now.

Normally Serif would be better equipped to respond to this, but god, right now he doesn't want to think of something clever.]

what do you want

[everything_you_love]

Why would I want anything from you?

I'm only checking in on an old friend.

[punnybone]

yeah, sure you are.

you must be really bored.

[everything_you_love]

Not bored. Just interested.

You're supposed to be 'untouchable,' remember? I'm guessing someone must've finally landed a hit.

[punnybone]

no one's untouchable, pal. not really.

did you consider that maybe i just don't feel like sleeping?

[everything_you_love]

I want you to read what you just wrote and ask yourself how it sounds to you.

We both know you better than that.

[punnybone]

it sounds like none of your business, that's what.

what, you wanna know what rattled me so badly you're gonna grill me about it now? what's it matter to you?

1/2

[everything_you_love]

Because I OWE you, Serif.

Every kind word, every time you helped me start over, every friendly disagreement.

I remember ALL OF IT.

[everything_you_love]

And I intend to pay it all back in full.

[punnybone]

ha ha wow look at that. you're really trying your hardest to sound scary, aren't you?

[He's had a very long night and he's not in the mood for this.]

are you having fun?

[everything_you_love]

More fun than I've had in a while. You don't sound like you can say the same.

Now that I think about it, there aren't a lot of things that'd get to you this much.

I can list maybe two?

[punnybone]

can you now? you sure think you're an expert on me, don't you.

so what two things do you think could get to me, huh?

[everything_you_love]

Oh I know I am.

I've been inside your head, Serif. [Inside your soul.]

You handed me every insecurity, every desperate fear on a silver platter.

[punnybone]

[He's more unsettled than he'd like to admit. Doesn't help that he's not in the best place mentally tonight to begin with.]

really.

well, you sure are good at sounding impressive, i'll give you that.

but you haven't exactly proved anything yet.

[everything_you_love]

You say that now, but there are some things you won't want me to prove.

Specifically around your brother.

[punnybone]

[There's a pause of a few minutes before another note arrives. In case it wasn't already obvious what Serif's weak spot was.]

yeah

i wouldn't really advise going there

[everything_you_love]

We'll save those juicy little tidbits for another day. Because I don't think it's your brother this time.

You wouldn't be bothered by something as petty as the pamphlet.

You'd have to stick the knife in much deeper to do real damage.

[punnybone]

you know i'm not gonna tell you, right?

[The fact that he's saying that in the first place is a pretty clear sign that Sunny's on the right track, of course...]

since you apparently know me so well and all.

WHOOPS. I didn't mean to put 1/2

[everything_you_love]

And the other thing that would get to you

is a lot shorter than Tempus.

[punnybone]

[. . .]

well.

that's a pretty good guess. i'll give you that.

[everything_you_love]

Wasn't that hard.

Hardly any humans out there persistent enough to WEASEL their way into the heads of rotten little monsters like us.

[punnybone]

yeah? so they're a friend of yours too, huh? figures.

[everything_you_love]

'FRIEND'? In the same way that we're FRIENDS, sure.

[We've all tried to kill each other. And who knows, we may try to kill each other again, if we're lucky.]

They came to me today to have an interesting little chat.

[punnybone]

if you say so

[He's not sure he buys that part completely, but whatever. Not his business right now.]

and this is the part where you tell me all about that or something?
