We’re not guiding them this early on. At the very start, we haven’t done a thing.

As I explained, reopening the game is just going back to the world of Undertale. It doesn’t imply we want to restart, it can also mean we want to continue.. Like every other time ever. Maybe we think there’s a postgame? I mean, they exist, and that’s what many reasonable players might be looking for. As I pointed out, there’s plenty of room for a postgame, on the Surface. Why does that automatically imply a reset again?

Lus, reopening the game is the only canon continuation of the story. I mean, if you leave it closed.. the story ends there, and nothing happens. What, do you see Frisk doing their thing? You ARE Frisk. You’re doing nothing.

Chara doesn’t have the power to reset at LV1. After all, they only become physical after you kill nearly everyone. (Alphys and a few evacuators are the only monsters not killed when Chara appears) Chara gains power with LOVE. As they explain in the Genocide Route, they’re the feeling you get when a number increases.. The very manifestation of LOVE. So, without LOVE, what is Chara? Just a phantom ghost incapable of doing anything other than narrating.
