[And what does Mettaton do when Emet-Selch begins playing his post? He smiles, the entire time. Yes... That's Mettaton, on the closest thing this world even has to TV. That's his charming smile and impeccable hair and his beautiful voice. What a usual happenstance, Mettaton on TV. It should be, anyway. But it is a more personal message at times, and he feels another dull ache of a reminder when he hears the part about Mikasa again.
Emet-Selch says nothing after its conclusion, and Mettaton says nothing, either. He quietly rests a hand upon Emet-Selch's side in the meanwhile, petting over him with (now agreeable) fingers. He expects that the Ascian will address it, one way or another.
And he does. By text. For fun.]
Obnoxious...ly handsome. You like my voice, darling.
Besides. Soothed by the melody of my speaking, you slept soundly. The entire time. You weren't bothered at all!
[Because that's why Emet-Selch remained asleep: Mettaton's voice in his ears.
He knew it would be impossible for anyone to say that she would definitely be fine, and that she was vulnerable in a world so good at seeing people dead. He knows Emet-Selch's probably thinking much the same. Long ago the robot may not have considered it far, but after talking to Mikasa and seeing her world for himself, it was hard to ignore.]
I know you're right. And I know she's strong... She'll do what she needs to. One of the things Eren wanted was for her to live, he told me. I can only hope that his hopes, combined with her will... lead to that result. If anyone can make a difference, I think it's her.
