”Your guidance” made them believe that the purpose of their awakening was power, and that we gained it by ”eradicating the enemy”. Enemies of the player. Wether they’re the narrator or not, they state that they’re with us from the start of the game. They are confused. They are soulless. We can only assume that our guidance is valid no matter what route we take - if we don’t hurt a soul, checking the dog food says it’s ”half full.” Kill one monster, and it is instead ”half empty.” And finally, as already stated, Doggo + a certain amount of kills makes you remember something funny.

This theory of influencing Chara leads to a pretty interesting thought I think - in the fight against Asriel, you save the lost souls by reminding them of the good times you spent together. But who saves Asriel? When you hit SAVE it triggers his flashbacks with Chara. But what makes him suddenly remember? Was he just reminded because we showed off our bonds with our friends? Did Frisk ask him to remember? Or is it possible that someone who followed us through our kindhearted journey went through some character development, and finally got the chance to say they were sorry to their best friend after all these years?
