Hmm... The canon is that only monster SOULs can absorb human SOULs, otherwise they stay within their bodies. Since the protagonist is a SOUL within a body, Flowey can't actually steal (absorb) their SOUL. He shouldn't feel bad, though... Asgore can't, either. In fact, the red SOUL never gets absorbed, as far as we know.

I've never been convinced that Photoshop Flowey had that much control over the SAVEs of the other human SOULs - he doesn't open with saving and loading. After a few SOULs help us, he begins to save and load. However, these saves could just as likely be the human SOULs helping the protagonist because his vine reach attack pushes our SOUL against the wall.

His attack would be unavoidable without those loads... maybe the SOULs were trying to help? It was also probably for the best that he didn't absorb us, given that human SOULs can rebel and have a mind of their own so long as they have a physical vessel... Hmm...

You've given me something to think about. Thank you. c:
