Is there no heart in you?!
[The woman opens her mouth again, confused and not quite sure where any of this is going, but Mettaton speaks over her. There's no backing out now.] Did you really think I would leave him alone in all of this mess?! After what happened to my BROTHER?! I need you to leave. I need you to leave my sight this instant, Ms. Clark!!
[Her eyes flicker from Mettaton to Oliver. She hasn't grabbed a coworker, but the thought of doing so still obviously lingers in her mind.
