[Chara asked the same question. Frisk asked the same question. He doesn't...want things, really. He's always just contented himself with whatever he has. Wanting is too much like hoping. You build yourself up, and then things fall short. If you never expect anything at all, then you're never disappointed.]
[Except that's not really true.]
[So putting everything else aside--blame, misplaced or otherwise; complicated histories; secrets; all that endless swirling gray nothing that consumes the lot of them.]
[What does he want?]
[Feels like he's answering all three of them. Feels like he's about to bare his soul.]
