Chara themselves may be being manipulated by a further being, a being capable of absorbing their soul after asriels death, a monster, who has the motivation to destroy existance. Maybe they were erased from existance and saw it move on without them suggesting that all actions are meangless and the endless cycle of pain and suffering the world goes through is unavoidable and therefore existance itself is cruelty and must be stopped, a fundamental antithesis to sans viewpoint the no person is beyond redeeming and no situation is hopeless, after all he was just telling himself it was hopeless as an excuse to be lazy right? this is exactly what happens whn people like him dont try very hard. A being who understands the mechanics of the world due to being outside them. Chara after all acknowledges the concept of partnership at the end of the genocide route, maybe chara found a friend in Gaster?

Also metagaming a bit here but narratively it doesn't make sense to have the Gaster subplot just dangling around like a spare sausage for shits and giggles, additionally Gaster seems to become interested in the player during the true pacifist run, perhaps because the player is achieving the change Sans, his esteemed colleague, could not. As this intrest increases Chara's ability to influence the player diminshes perhaps due to disgreement with a now hopeful Gaster.
