Hey, you've reached Dipper! I'm not here right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you soon!

...

But if this is paranormal-related? Hang up now, call back, let it ring exactly twice, then hang up again. Don't leave a message. I'll get back to you even sooner.

I'll take very detailed notes on what your message is.

jeez. aren't you a bit young to be so pessimistic?

[Actually Sans is pretty sure that he was about that pessimistic at twelve. Thirteen. However old Dipper is.]

I've been here over a year. I've earned it.

[He used to actually like Wonderland. That's changed.]

Can I ask you something that's probably really uncomfortable to answer?

sorry, kid.

fire away. can't guarantee an answer, though.

[How does he phrase this as tactfully as possible and not bring up too many bad memories?]

Is it usual for monsters to turn to dust when they die?

[Bit of a pause.]

yeah.

that's how it is for us.

I'm sorry, I wasn't expecting it.

[Maybe he would have handled it better if he'd known. Maybe there was no way he was going to handle that no matter what.]

don't need to apologize, kid. shoulda warned you. just kinda...

didn't want to think too hard about it at the time.

I get it man. I hope there's not a next time but if there is I'll know now.

there's that at least.

just don't feel too bad. once we get like that there's nothing that can be done.

It shouldn't have gotten to that point.

yeah. but that's no one's fault.

I know.

[There was nothing he could have done. He still feels like he failed everyone.]
