[It gets a reaction. It can't not, with everything spiritual about Sans enhanced in the daylight. Sans's body flickers, that broken television set again, his body unforming itself little by little into light.
Like this, it's clear to see the arcs of light all around Papyrus, curling around him and worming their way through his circuits.]
It's not like I want to do it like this. There's no other way. [He's talking to himself as much as Papyrus. Sans keeps working, but the reminder of the leeches gets an outright pause as he shoves it away like it's something dangerous. He's not hurting Papyrus. He's not. Once he does this it'll be better. He has to fix it, and then it'll be okay.] You already lost stuff. I'm putting it back. [Right. Right, that's what he's doing. He's feeling upset because Papyrus is upset, but it's okay. He's okay. It'll be okay.
Papyrus has experienced Sans's emotion adjustment before. It's different this time. This time, Sans absolutely drowns Papyrus in feelings. All at once, it has to be all at once, or Sans is going to lose his nerve, or Sans is just going to start screaming and screaming and never stop, not until his soul shatters, he doesn't like this, he has to do it and he doesn't want to have to do it--
It's a disaster of emotional feedback, but Sans is aimed at the void with desperation. With determination.]
