It's kinda hard to explain to people who've never exbearienced it before, but... I'm gonna try my best here.
[Teddie knows damn well he doesn't have to be afraid to tell her these things, she was so excepting of Papyrus after all, it wouldn't make sense for her to suddenly reject him like that. But then why can't he stop shaking? Doubt is a terrible thing, and yet despite how he's drowning in it, Teddie pushes on.]
...T-Try to think about all the bad thoughts and feelings you ever had, the ones you hide away from everyone else. The ones you...really don't want people to know about yourself. You don't have to tell me about 'em, I'm just saying everybody has them, r-right? So...if those feelings ever just...bundled up together and came to life, what sorta thingy do you think they'd make? It'd be...like a monster, wouldn't it? Mindless, mean, scary monsters that attack humans for no reason.
In my world, those monsters are called Shadows, and they're the only things that live there. ...And I really mean the only things, because... I'm a Shadow, too...
