In the True Lab Alphys suggests she might have done something to hurt herself and in some Neutral endings it's mentioned she suddenly disappeared. It's usually assumed she commits suicide but what if there's more to it?

For instance, do you think it's possible she might have tried to inject herself with Determination?

Alphys craves to be special, she manipulates Frisk to try to be an anime protag or whatever, instead of just ending her life I can easily see her condemning herself to either get special or suffer the same fate as the Amalgamates.

Also, a mysterious dissapearance but one that doesn't completely erase her from the Underground would be a similar fate to Gaster's. I considered the possibility of Gaster having also been injected with Determination but for all we know no one had been able to extract Determination from a human soul before Alphys. But they would still both end up victims of their experimentations.
