Anymore? So you could before? I wonder, though, why? Oh, wait!

"I soon realized I didn't feel ANYTHING about ANYONE."-Flowey

SOULless being don't have emotion. Chara understood these feelings when they were human, but without a SOUL, they can't. We have confirmation that Chara is SOULless, from Chara, who is alive, talking to us. There is NO way Toby would miss a contradiction in plain sight like that, especially when he was working for YEARS crafting the story. The contradiction is too obvious, especially when you're the one making it. He was writing lines for living Chara, that prove they're SOULless. It's clear his intentions were that Chara could live with no SOUL-Meaning, that SOUL is not the same as essence, even for humans. It also parallels Asriel's situation, but this time, Chara doesn't even get a body until the end. This is no coincidence. It's clear human essence was a planned, real thing. Toby didn't have to explain it for humans because he already explained the concept with monsters-Besides, this is the underground, where monsters are more relevant than humans.

I rest my case.. For this post. If you have any objections, I'll still object back. But still. There it is, my case. According to sans, LOVE, the result of killing monsters, is basically a feeling of inner emptiness, as you distance yourself from your actions. You just stop caring about other people's emotion and then you stop feeling positive emotions. That Chara doesn't understand "these feelings" anymore could also be the result of too many resets/murders. We already know that Chara is murderous, at least during tbe Genocide Run, possibly even before, and the stats window imply, that Chara is somehow affected by the LOVE you gain too.
