[Goddamn it, Asriel won't let him help at all, will he? He's been trying so hard to let himself go, but he can't, because he won't be allowed.
What a pair they were, trying to sacrifice one another to save a...friend? Were they friends? Yes, perhaps. But also self-sacrificing. Not an attractive trait.]
...Do what you like. But you don't have to. You paid your pain to spare me mine. If you want to turn away...you can.
[Asriel has Mettaton's permission to let him die. But Mettaton doubts he'll do that.
And what else can he do but hang and slowly die?
At least this way, he can't "fall down," because he doesn't have that luxury when he's being dangled like a piece of meat.]
