Ohhhhhhhhhh MAJOR angst idea

When Ingo actually sees Emmet for the first time in The Underground, he runs away in a panic to process all the conflicting feelings and thoughts going through his head VERY suddenly with NO context, which makes Emmet think Ingo descended into The Underground on purpose. To get away from him.

Emmet gets captured (for a bit) because he enters the line of sight of Undyne who mistakes him for Ingo before very suddenly realizing that's a human that looks very much like Ingo but smiling creepily and shaking. After accidentally catching his attention and having a moment of "Ingo? What's with the wardrobe chaoh you are not Ingo", Emmet responds by slowly approaching her and having this interaction:

"You… know Ingo…?" Emmet says with his normal unnervingly flat voice, the smile on his face looking forced and trembling slightly as he takes another step towards Undyne, who has armed herself.

"Why has he been here so long? I have been searching for him for five long years. I finally saw him and he ran from me."

Another step.

"Does he hate me? Did he come down here to hide from me? Did he mention me at all? Did he mention his brother Emmet?"

Another step. Tears drip down his smiling face.

"Did he even once say anything about even having a twin? Has he pretended I do not exist? Does he really hate me that much?"

Another step.

"Would he really abandon us all so suddenly? Abandon Elesa? The other conductors? Our subway? His duties? Everything?"

Another step. Undyne's spear presses against Emmet's chest as he stares deliriously into her enraged and terrified face, a permanent smile still plastered on his own.

"… Me…?" he says, the flatness of his voice cracking as the slightest bit of real emotion squeaks through his voice, his throat tightening as tears run down his face faster.

"… Ingo's a human…?" Undyne asks, glaring at Emmet. "Well, I guess that actually would explain a lot."

Undyne says a lot more after that, but Emmet doesn't listen. That is to say, he can't listen. He's lost in his own mind as he is chained up and dragged off, wondering if his search was worth the heartbreak. He wonders if he really should have accepted Ingo as dead two years ago, so that he wouldn't have learned Ingo left on his own accord because he hated Emmet.

… Emmet… love you… brothers again…

It's a voice Emmet does not recognize echoing within his own head. He tries to clear away the rest of his thoughts and focus on it.

… He'll love you… I can make… his mind change…

He focuses as hard as he can on the voice, ignoring all other sounds and closing his eyes tightly to focus.

… Emmet… I will return to you the brother you remember… I will make him love you again… you will be brothers again…

He breathes quietly and shallowly to limit the sound.

… All you have to do is…

He holds his breath.

Dig.
