I didn't really intend to get into the direct aftermath of the last one, but this image popped into my head out of nowhere, so here's this halfway interlude kind of thing. Sans managed to fix Papyrus's jaw, reattach his arm, and fill in some of the cracks in his head. Not bad!

Sans is still in shock and trying to process what happened, he’s angry and scared and hates him and himself but also desperately wants Gaster to fix him somehow. He does want to come with them, but he doesn’t want to say so outloud because he doesn’t want to ask him for anything given what he did. It’s not really rational but Sans isn't thinking super clearly.

Gaster let him come because he could tell Sans was close to a breakdown and letting him sit in while he patched Papyrus up was the easiest way to deal with it/keep an eye on him. Or that’s what he told himself, anyway.



Given what just happened, Gaster’s not going to pick him up with blue magic, so actual touching it is! Papyrus is only partly conscious and mostly delirious, but he knows that Gaster is the one who has to be holding him because Sans is too small. Gaster is the one he’s talking to, not that Sans can tell, really.
