[Papyrus' ears twist back, reflecting his mixed feelings, and he scratches at the base of one of them.]
Just like that? Alphys said the same thing, but... That sounds so fantastical.
[Unlike half the more whimsical comments that Papyrus spins, on a regular basis. He sighs wistfully at the thought of it anyway, a world where the barrier just broke as easily as the human talking to Asgore like he'd advised...
Really, it's a little validating that he was right and it could have worked, had things been a little different in some difficult to pin down way.]
The human did show up... And they went to talk to Asgore! But, um. Asgore never showed up again, after that. And... neither did a few other people... So in the end, Undyne took over.
[It wasn't all bad. People had clamored for her to do so, spurring her own to overthrowing Toriel's brief return. A short-lived revolution, especially short since the ex-queen willingly abdicated and returned upon learning why the grieving monsters weren't enthusiastic for her plans of renewed friendship with the surface. She was happier in the Ruins with the skeletons for company, and many other monsters were happier with the hope of destroying humanity. It was fine.]
