[Quark is silent. He knows what Frisk is saying. He knows. It makes his heart feel like it's swelling with how much it hurts to think about.]
Don't die.
[His voice comes out quiet--more quiet than it should considering the almost accusing way in which it comes out. He doesn't mean it to sound that way. It...it's just so hard to do this.]
[Frisk does hear that accusatory tone though, and even flinches a little bit.]
'm sorry. I'm not used to-
[They cut themselves off quickly with a swallow. 'I'm not used to people remembering when I die' is what they meant to say. But they don't want Quark to know about that. Least of all right now. It wouldn't help anything at the best of times. It really won't help now.
The worst part is they know they can't promise him that. They can't promise him they won't die. Because if it comes down to Toriel or themselves... it's better if it's them.]
I'm not gonna go looking for him. I don't want to find him. Just Mom.

I won't watch you die again.
