I am not going to talk about how all the monsters in the Underground have gone to either Heaven or Hell based on their sins, because they haven't. We don't need a deep philisophical discussion based on whether or not the characters in a fantasy game qualify as sinners based on Cristian (Or, in this case, Catholic) doctrines.

I am going to answer two points. The first is the actual subject of this thread.

So I'm gonna lay out my opinion on this. When Sans says he's going to Grillby's, and asks Papyrus if he wants anything, this is because he knows that the player is an absolute dick and wants to prove it. Before he dies, he wants to deal one more psychological blow. Maybe, Sans reasons, if I make them hurt, if I make them feel bad, then maybe, just maybe, they'll RESET. In Sans' position, he dosen't know that you're playing a game and want to keep playing, so he has no way to assume that you're just going to RESET for the fun of it. So he tries to make you RESET by feeling bad, by wanting to give Papyrus and Sans their life back.

Second, I want to give my opininon on Sans' dying (?) moments.

When you slash Sans, he bleeds. Now, what he is bleeding is a good question. It is conceivable that Sans is a human and he therefore bleeds actual blood. But I want to debunk this really quick. When ASRIEL absorbs everyone's SOULS, he absorbs Sans' as well. But when he releases the SOULS, the only ones there are the grey monster SOULS and the six human SOULS. If Sans was a human, than his SOUL would be colourful, like other human SOULS. Second, that might be liquid DETERMINATION leaking from that wound. But could it really? Remember, DETERMINATION is a metaphysical power that allows humans to manipulate time, return from the dead, and get impossibly strong. But it is also literally determination. It is the will to continue, the will to win, the will to survive. If Sans had literally injected himself with concentrated DETERMINATION, then would he really still be completely uncaring? And, most importantly, would he just give up and use his Special Attack? Because, reasonably, if he was that determined, he would just keep fighting to the end of time. He wouldn't risk falling asleep and dying. He would have enough DETERMINATION to pull through to the end. Finally, the last option is that he bleeds ketchup, and this one seems the most likely to me. For one thing, he is a skeleton, with no digestive tract. So if he is drinking ketchup constantly, than it seems like it has to go somewhere. And that somewhere, as I imagine, is simply sitting in his stomach (?). So it seems reasonable that when he was slashed, it came out. Now, this is a bit far-fetched, but when it is compared to the virtually impossible other options, it begins to seem somewhat reasonable.
