Each weapon and armour you find in the game is associated with one of the previous humans. The area in which each human died can be approximated by where you find the items.

What’s weird is that you find both the Faded Ribbon and the Toy Knife in the Ruins, meaning that this is where the cyan-soul human would have been killed. But if this is the case, then how would Asgore have gained the soul? Surely Toriel would have made absolute sure that it never got past the door.

Near the end of the pacifist route, Toriel tells Asgore that he could have just taken one soul, crossed the barrier and made peace with the humans. So she would have been fine with one human dying.

This must mean that Toriel condoned the death of that particular child, and maybe was responsible for it, without knowing what Asgore truly wanted to do. Perhaps she was the one that set up all of the puzzles in the Ruins.
