Oh. If they'd parted us... You're right! I'd just move back in with him. [Mettaton snickers, because he'd absolutely be right back in Emet-Selch's company were they split. If there's any nerve involved, it's simply treating him as an object unworthy of a bed at all. Mettaton would like a bed so that he could decline it and take his Bonded's!
But that's a matter for the past, as Gon veers thoughtful. Mettaton blinks, smile dropping as he gets something of a bad feeling... one that's gradually confirmed.
He begins to nod along in recognition. All of this... Yes, he remembers it with more clarity. It was less the mind control and more the recent death that has his memory muddled. He hums, regarding his own arm—an arm he must have gotten attached. Alphys? Surely, Alphys. (She didn't say anything about it when she came to visit...)]
I... I see. So I was an accessory to his kidnapping. ...
[That was disturbing to consider. Mettaton... knew somehow that the Evergreen Circle was planning to stage a kidnapping. It wasn't something he felt was important to prevent for some reason, and he's not even sure if he actually learned about it at all, or if it was just a Puca sense for some unknown danger. He sighs, gazing down at Emet-Selch.
He's right. I was infected... But there was nothing anybody could do to get me cured. [MTT shakes his head no.] I'm glad you found him in the end. Is he alright...?
[He feels guilt. It's the same strange guilt he feels for Emet-Selch's situation, where he can't quite figure out why he'd done that thing in the first place. Such is the power of mind control.]

He knew it was happening because he'd acted upon it in one way only, and that was to prevent his fiancé from being kidnapped by... kidnapping him instead. Turns out this wasn't the only kidnapping he was somehow part of.]
