Alphys was shaking. She was nervous, confused and conflicted. On one hand, she was happy that she was spared the details, but on the other hand, she felt lesser, unimportant and just worthless.
Clearly, she wasn't trusted. She wasn't seen as smart enough or reliable.
Why would Sans keep all of this from me?
It's been around 6 hours since the machine being destroyed. The others wouldn't fully understand the severity, and nothing had happened to signify that something was amiss. But Alphys new better. She knew exactly how that machine worked. She knew it wasn't the same machine as the blueprint they found, Sans's boot up sequence was completely different to one of the VOID Compilers.
And if that really was a Retriever...
Then by that point in the sequence, there would have been enough of a connection to the VOID to be able to open up rips in space to connect to the timeline and allow bits of the VOID to assert themselves into the current space-time continuum, while retaining their VOID traits of ignoring the laws of physics and the constraints of time.
Basically, everyone involved has made a massive mistake.
Sans and Frisk should have talked sooner.
Toriel should have intercepted Frisk's sleuthing.
Undyne shouldn't have acted so irrationally.
Asgore should have spoke up in that lab. He had the authority to stop everything.
And Alphys...
I should have been more confident. I could have gave them more information. I should have told Undyne and everyone else what interacting with a VOID machine could do.
It's all my fault.
Alphys had been researching, learning and documenting everything related to the VOID and what the current circumstances could entail. She couldn't make any sort of machine to counteract or track the VOID with current time constraints. With her researched, she assumed that the VOID would be attempting to merge with smaller VOID bits to form one bigger entity.
This was assuming that the VOID left the space rips as smaller pieces and hadn't already formed one bigger entity.
Everything was just assumptions.
...
Alphys was tired.

Hours prior...
Frisk was alone. Flowey left a while ago, and Toriel was downstairs. Yet, they felt alone. No one to talk to. Sans probably hated them.
Frisk remembered what they said to Sans, and what he said in return.
Why did I do that?
Frisk replayed events in their head. To grasp the timeline of events and understand where everything went wrong.
They recalled Flowey's advice. Manipulation and lies. But they didn't listen.
I didn't.
Frisk didn't want to expose Sans infront of everyone. Maybe they thought about it slightly, but that wasn't fair to Sans. Especially considering just how tired he looked. And yet, they did it.
No, I didn't.
You did.
Frisk sat up from their bed.
What did you do? Who even ARE you?
Okay, I made a mistake. But trust me, my intentions were to help you. I thought that it was what you wanted.
