Sans being possessed has happened enough times that it's the first conclusion Papyrus leaps to. The Prince is gone, as is that vampire lady... But he didn't go around the penthouse polling everyone on their new powers. After all, almost nobody knew yet, not until they'd gotten in the streets and gave it a go. So there could very well be someone instigating violence by spreading blinding anger. And hitting Sans with it... would be an excellent way to take out his insightful observations! Papyrus would have done the same, with the thought and the appropriate power set!
...While they're at it, using his own powers to take Sans out of the fight would be even better. But some part of him is still holding out for the hope that the Void will reach out again, and pull the others into the fold so they don't need to fight. Maybe if they just talk a little.
"Ohhh," Papyrus realizes, with a sheepish little laugh. "Right. I mean, I can see why you'd think that... Why else would the Great and Terrible Papyrus be going around, doing... slightly villainous things, after all? But! That only goes to show! You didn't look very hard. Not a person was hurt by my methods, I think you'd find."
Not exactly true. People falling unconscious in the streets, literally falling, could come to several kinds of harm. But he didn't directly cause or see it happen, so that's the same as it not happening... Or, maybe, the way it's going to end soon means it doesn't matter. There's some contradictions in his ideas of whether hurting people is okay, and he's vacillating minute by minute, adding 'terrible' to his appellation like it's always been there.
