About Alphys' "suicide":

Using a theory as evidence without proving that theory is simply wrong. But the theory is a plausible one, though you took it completely out of context.

According to the True Pacifist Ending, Alphys was hiding the Amalgamtes, and this catastrophic failure is what made her insecure in the first place. After Alphys saves you from the four amalgamtes in the power room, she states that it's a good thing you came with her, before she would have never came back, that she'd run away and then do something.. cowardly. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6gS2LPXdIc5dFVVZGUxWlNjanc

Oh, by the way, another source for text in Undertale:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6gS2LPXdIc5Zll6YzVna3dZQms?usp=sharing

This cowardly thing may in fact be suicide. But that means her suicide has absolutely nothing to do with Mettaton at all. She did indeed die if Undyne, Papyrus, and Mettaton all died (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6gS2LPXdIc5eEJKeFNxZFpKbk0), but to say that Mettaton is a direct cause of this simply makes no logical sense. Alas, it's pretty likely Mettaton IS at least the defining factor, as this still happens if ONLY Mettaton dies:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6gS2LPXdIc5ODN5V0JlUWQ4Y3c

But this isn't due to some magical connection between the two. It's because Mettaton was Alphys' only success in a streak of failures. With Mettaton gone, all Alphys is left is, well.. a failure. (At least from her perspective). As a result.. Well, you can probably see why that wouldn't end well for her.

Besides, there CAN'T be a magical link between Mettaton and Alphys' life. If you abort Genocide in Hotland for ANY reason, Alphys is alive, and calls you. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6gS2LPXdIc5TUJYcTd0cS1wdlU

That includes you killing Mettaton and just not meeting the kill quota. Why? Because she evacuated the monsters to the True Lab, and acted as a sort of hero for once. She got brave enough, to face her failures. Even if the monsters had to learn the truth about her (the Amalgamates). This is evidence against the magical link between Alphys and Mettaton, and evidence supporting the idea that Alphys' death was an act of cowardice, due to her seeing herself as a failure.
