"...Excuse me?"
He was planning on ignoring any of the voices in hopes that they'd go away. But you've grabbed his attention. Congrats, I guess...?
He did it to collect your negativity. After feeling no negative energy gain, he realized that because the askers are not in his Multiverse, so instead of him gaining the negativity, our multiverse's version of NM will instead. Bonus:
passive i love you ohh youre so youre so. oughhhrhrhf i love you. you are so awesome and im sorry your life sucks. i love.you 😢😢😢 you are the sweetest i love you so much nightmare. you are everything to me please be my friend
Not used to the attention. He's also not sure whether he likes it or not.

Nightmare: "Although I would appreciate that very much, I'm almost completely sure that I am unable to receive negativity through the rift. The thought of a God of Negativity in your multiverse taking the despair instead of me is not preferable, though... So I encourage you to continue trying your best to get better as to not feed my counterpart, and it will come to you eventually. I'm glad to hear that you should be medicated by now."
Ink: oh, YAYY! Sketchbook!!! Thank you!! And I love you too, random rifter!! <3"
Ink has decided to call anyone speaking through the rift a "rifter" btw
Basically what Nightmare said: "I hope you feel better, b-but not because I like you or anything!!"
