[It's in that moment Asriel realizes his mistake. He could continue to lie, make up some story about how he was sick. He could probably win Mettaton's sympathy that way - a young viewer who "fell down" at an early age.
But is that the person he really wants to be? More lies on top of lies? He has the chance to become whoever he wants here... even if that means Mettaton won't like him anymore, he... should at least try to become someone better.
Make up for his past mistakes.]
... I died going to the Surface.
I carried my sibling's body across the barrier, to take them home, and was attacked by humans.
[There's more to the story than that, Asriel knows. But he'll wait to see if Mettaton knows what he's talking about.]
