Meanwhile, things were getting chaotic in the void.

Chara was sick of it -- literally -- and made a big deal out of it.

Frisk was the only one who attempted to comfort them, but got pushed away every time.

Anti was still busy with trying to code a way out.  She had been working nonstop with no success.  It was clearly taking a toll on her.

Frisk decided to go see if she was okay.

"A-a-anti?  H-how's it coming?"

Anti jumped at the glitchy voice and looked over.

"...not very well, I'm afraid.  I still can't get the code right."

Her tail tapped on the ground as she tried continuing.

"M-ma-maybe you s-should take a break?  A-after all, y-y-you've be-been wo-wo-working n-nonstop f-for quite a while."

"Nonsense!  I need to get this done.."

"B-b-but-"

"No buts.  I'll be fine."

And with that, she continued working. 

Frisk sighed and went to see Chara.

"Fe-fe-feeling an-n-ny bet-bet-better?"

Chara cringed away slightly.

"Leave me alone..." they muttered.

"B-but-"

"I SAID, LEAVE ME ALONE."

They cringed as they started coughing up buttercups for what seemed like the millionth time.  Frisk looked away.

"I-I j-j-just wa-want to help..."

"You can help by leaving me alone."

"B-b-but I-"

"Don't make me mad again...please, I'm begging you..."

Frisk sighed and nodded before walking off to be on their own.

It wasn't much longer before Anti let out a glitchy, victorious shout.

"G-GO-GOT IT!"
