I see.. You reject Premise 1.

I'll start by clarifying my reasoning a bit more.. Then I'll look at your reasoning.

I was under the impression that if Chara KNEW that they wouldn't stick around.. They wouldn't CARE where they ended up. Since, you know.. They'd be dead. And nothing matters anymore when you're dead. Because you're dead. Either there's an afterlife, you stick around as a ghost or something else, or you're just dead and nothing matters. One of those three things are true. I won't give an argument on WHICH one of the three is true, but no matter which one is true, Chara shouldn't make that wish genuinely.

But they made the wish. So it had to have been fake.

Now for your response. You argue that this was for tradition.. But in fact, burial was not monster tradition at all. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6gS2LPXdIc5QkRlRGV5NEIzejQ

The tradition was to spread the remains on the monster's favorite thing, so that their essence may remain in that thing.

This is likely why Asgore put the humans in coffins instead of, you know.. making a proper burial.

And why would Chara follow human tradition?

---

Now to attack your counter-argument.

I reject Conclusion 1. To see why, let's take what was added in Conclusion 1 that doesn't logically follow from the first two premises, and reveal the missing Premise 3.

Premise 3:Chara wanted to drop the body on the golden flowers, and leave it there, rather than holding it.

You see?

Remember, the golden flowers were the very center of the village. It's where Chara would attract the most attention. It's far more evident that humans are bad when the entire mob attacks at once. And it's not like Chara wanted Asriel dead.. If they wanted that, they'd just absorb his Boss Monster SOUL and do it alone.

Asriel had the power to kill them all. Chara wanted to use that power. But Asriel refused.

So, from Chara's perspective.. Asriel got the both of them killed to save evil humans. The humans' lives outweighed the life of his best friend, Chara Dreemurr. No wonder they don't like him anymore in the present.

So that's why they wanted to approach the golden flowers. It was the center of the village.

"ASRIEL reached the center of the village. There, he found a bed of golden flowers".

And since Chara was the one really holding the body, as Asriel points out, Chara was the one who chose that bed of golden flowers. The very center of the village.

We don't know if that was the only bed. It'd have to be for your theory to work, (I don't see why golden flowers would only exist in one place in the entire world, but okay) but either way, this bed could attract the most attention.
