do NOT think about every piece of gaster-related dialogue we have so far do NOT. it will KILL you. because it's like. are you there? are we connected? the second field. the second connection. have you been looking for me? how wonderful. you are about to meet someone very, very wonderful. this next experiment seems very, very interesting. something i think you will find very, very interesting. i have been looking for you as well. thank you for waiting so long... thank you very much for your time... once more i thank you for your patience in these difficult times... thank you for your time... thanks for your feedback! be seeing you soon! because the time that you will meet her... is fast approaching. after all, you and i, we have both been waiting such a very long time. what do you two think? survey program. (thanks for your feedback! be seeing you soon!) welcome. (welcome.) please read these final warnings. then, take it in your hands. beware of the man who speaks in hands. then the future is in your hands. then the future was covered in darkness. dark, darker, yet darker. the darkness keeps growing... what is its favorite flavor? pain. (is that a cut on your face, or part of your eye?) the pain itself is reason why. you acknowledge the possibility of pain and seizure. well, there is a man here. there is even a man inside this one. there's something here... something in the shape of a man. he might be happy to see you... (what do you think?) then he needn't be there. well, there was not a man here. it is as if it was never there at all. your own name. your own name.

as soon as you put it all together, you realize that underneath it all gaster has an underlying theme of connection in what little dialogue we have from him. that's what deltarune is- a bid for connection with the only beings who can truly know him now. he's trying to reach out to us and he knows we've been looking for him and thinking of him and he thanks us several times in his limited dialogue and he wants to know our name... and he's in pain and he's pulling himself up through hell to give this to us. that's what i'm saying. i need to fucking lie down
