Why doesn't Sans stop you from killing Papyrus?

[Tea Thief]

Seems kinda odd. Even though he probably feels it's futile you'd think he'd do something.

Wait, really? When does he say that?

I was under the impression Sans wasn't actively trying to help the player.

I'm pretty sure Papyrus says Sans said not to do anything

Other then sans keeping a promises from Toriel. What was Toriel request? She said some thing about watch over and protect any human that exits the Ruins. This one I taking guest about why he didn't protect his bother. I thinking that sans didn't want to ruin his bother chance of becoming royal knight and his bother chance become popular. Papyrus did say that he want to become royal knight and Papyrus also said that he have no friends during that times. Papyrus alway looking for human and wanting to capture them.

Because he is both a terrible brother and a terrible person, he knew in any and all moment where were you and papyrus, and when your fight had place, yet he never warned papyrus, prevent the fight, help his brother, hinder you, or seek revenge for him.

Sans isnt a hero like undyne, sans is, in the best case scenario, a slacker.

Even if that gets his brother killed.

Why people tend to portrait someone who is pretty ok with you murdering his brother in cold blood as a protective brother is something i simply cant understand.

1 even if he chose to respect the promise above all, which he shouldnt if the human is a murderer, he could still told papyrus to evacuate the city with the other civilians, or manipulate him to go with alphys, as he is very gullible.
He could have saved papyrus and kept his promise at the same time with no problem.

2 that makes no sense, as he knows his brother ewven better than undyne, and even undyne knows in a real fight papyrus would be torn to shreds because he is too nice to actually fight.

If you think about it. Papyrus wouldn't have listen to sans any way and go meet the human any way. After how many time sans got his brother mad at him. Also they don't agree with each other very well.

Once again, I'm pretty sure Sans tells Papyrus to not get in your way, and even tries to get him away from you

Papyrus could be easily manipulate to go "save alphys" or that "the king needs the help of the great papyrus urgently" and papyrus wouldnt have questioned it.

If sans wanted papyrus out of snowding, he could have done it easily.

Because he knows he couldn’t stop either of them, that you can reset time, and he made a promise to Toriel not to harm any human that leaves the ruins. Also it would make Sans a hypocrite. Lastly, there’s always the possibility that you could change your mind and spare him. Because of his promise, he hopes this is what you’ll do.

Do you really think Papyrus stay there. Papyrus move 3 time faster then Frisk any way. Papyrus would call or check them or use the phone text message to find out. Also find out and think it is another sans prank and get mad again. Will rush back to looking for human any way. Sans did prank on his brother more then once. There is a chance he would not fell for it.

This is why you can't judge a character for instances like this. For one, it happens because it's a game and you have to fight the next boss, and two there's no telling how the situation would play out. Also even if Papyrus did leave Snowdin, Genocide Frisk is going to still try and kill him later anyway.
