So, most people think the cutscenes are all caused by Chara, and that it only happens when you gain LOVE, but thats not true. In the true pacifist route, Frisk hid behind the conveniently shaped lamp. However, that happens without the players control. If Chara DID do that, they have control over you very early on, and could ruin your pacifist route if they wanted. On the other hand, if Frisk did it instead of Chara, who knows when Chara took control and when it was Frisk, or if Chara really DID take control at all in the first place.
