And no, I'm not trying to say that New Home, the capital, and all that is one GIANT Goner or Gaster follower no, rather I'm talking about in terms of symbolism.

Well, looking it up: "The color gray is a timeless and practical color that is often associated with loss or depression."

Loss, huh.

Makes sense.

Asgore lost Asriel and Chara at his castle, he lost his wife, he lost HIMSELF.

Meanwhile,  Sans...Sans lost some people too. He lost his entire life. Only thing he has is Papyrus (which he loses in genocide too).

"''you'll never see 'em again."

Timeless huh? Seems New Home hasn't changed since Chara and Asriel died, and it seems the Gaster Followers and the goners (definition: a person or thing that is doomed or cannot be saved.)  haven't changed since Gaster fell.

So yeah, there is, it's symbolism for loss. The Gaster followers are lost in time ever since whatever happend to Gaster happened, and Sans lost his old friends. And Asgore lost his wife and kids and his peaceful natiure.

What do you guys think?
