Oh, I'm aware of the personal hassle it would be should this city become inhabited more by shades than humans. While I'll take myself and my Bonded to be cured ere we reach that final point... I don't know what manner of intervention you expect from me in regards to anyone else.
[But if there was some sort of mind-control going on... would that explain Mettaton's behavior? It was hard to believe that he'd become so accepting of being diseased without it, but he otherwise seemed almost- normal. Sometimes.
That made it all the more important for Emet-Selch to be able to get through to him, to convince him. Of course he'd be able to. There was no option otherwise, there was no one else to turn to.]
A strange goal for anyone, to spread a disease like this for the sake of it. Unless the goal in itself is to seed chaos- a task which I am not unfamiliar with- I wonder who benefits.
Well, it's not as though humans aren't inclined to work against their best interests of their own accord, but I almost hope there's some greater goal at work here that's yet invisible to us.
