"The Flowey warning seen happens after the end of The True Pacifist Ending, as the game is reseting back to the title screen. We never actually see Asriel fade in-game, he's still there at the beginning no matter how long we wait, with all his Compassion intact, waiting for a fade that's not going to happen."

The world is not reset until AFTER you choose the option to True Reset. At most, it's sent back to the previous save point, as is what happens in any other video game on the technical level (When the game is shut off, the RAM is cleared, leaving only the ROM and SRAM, which is the save file:Therefore, it can be stated that the moment the game is shut off, the world is restored to the previous save point.) However, the save exists to load it, the menu describes the world in its current state. Therefore, it can be said that world is not reset until you choose to reset. Closing the game and opening it simply restores your world to your previous save point, and if that save point happens to be in the Epilouge, it shouldn't be possible for Asriel to be Flowey in this state. By the way, if you continue after the warning (Continue, NOT reset), you can see the Epilouge again, but Asriel is still gone. What gives?

Even the most obscure paths are important.. Everything needs to be taken into consideration.
