That is an interesting thread about its always been sunrise at the end. And that Undertale only happens in one day. A run does take about eight hours, and even when we try to sleep we're only there for like 30 seconds according to the innkeeper. I'll have to read the rest of it.

So all the other monsters only arrive if we get Alphys out of the True Lab. Actually, nobody else arrives unless we get Alphys out of the true lab. Alphys is definitely an important piece to the puzzle here. She might have been nervous about meeting Asgore, especially after helping Sans defy his direct orders to kill all humans for so long.

We know for a fact now that Alphys, who has lied to us before, lies when she pretends not to recognize Queen Toriel, mirroring Papyrus by whispering "There's two of them?". Alphys upgraded Toriel's phone long before this moment. She's met the Queen before, or at the very least knew of her existance. And she would have certainly spotted Toriel arrive with the camera system as she walked through the Underground on the way there. There's no way that Alphys can actually be surprised that Toriel is there. Alphys knew someone had called her.

I've set up Round 8 over here: https://undertale.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:186251 It's been a while, but it's time for a new thread again.
