I once thought my husband was falling out of bed, so I grabbed him tenderly, cuddled into him and sweetly said “It’s okay darling, I’ve got you…”
That’s what half-asleep-me thought I was doing, anyway. In reality, I threw my palm onto his face like the Facehugger alien and screamed incoherently into his ear.
I’m sure that after the first “dunked on mercy”, most people would have learned their lesson and never tried it again. But what would happen if you continue to click ‘MERCY’? Perhaps nothing will change; but Frisk, having their first taste of freedom for so long, will continue choosing it.
If they were free to choose, they would always choose mercy.
