[Hearing Sans's voice with that relative calm is... strange to listen to. It's not the same calm as that intent focus, a few hours ago. Papyrus flags it to listen to again, to compare to the sound of his own voice these last few hours. Maybe identify a metric of changes to Sans's demeanor, that will help him identify if his brother is sensing him like this again. As for the instruction itself...]
Feel stronger, or feel stronger? [There's an inkling of teasing, poking at his brother for the ambiguity. But there's an obvious overlap for the two ideas, so he doesn't wait for an answer to focus on memories of Undyne. Sparring with her, her eye going wide as she sweated and expressed how impressed she was. He had been... delighted, back then. Triumphant with the close fight, brimming with a sense of acknowledgement, hope for hearing that sentiment echoed dozens of times over.
...But he doesn't feel the same things now, and not only because there's every chance she's dead, or any of that. It's a little too long ago to try directly re-experiencing the emotions, the memories fragmented and faded with time. Memories of triumph and hope, a more present lonely grief.]
