Hi everyone, Technys here!

Today, I came up with a good theory that I never heard before. Perhaps it already exists, but I'm not sure so let me tell you:

Toby Fox posted on Twitter this post:

You've all seen the happiest outcome. Neither of them could fix the machine, no matter how hard they tried. No one can.

So I immediatly thought about something. Since Toby is talking about the fact that you can't play the game as a Pacifist Run because you sold your soul to Chara in order to bring the game back, I thought about this: The machine in Sans' workshop is probably the machine in this post.

My theory is: W.D. Gaster was the scientist who created this machine after doing a Genocide Run. Seeing that he couldn't reset the game in order to do a Pacifist Run, he created this machine to travel in time and space. He was helped by Sans. Gaster died in his machine, scattering him through time and space. Sans, who probably did a Genocide Run too, understood that this was a bad idea. He decided to stay in his Genocide Run and to be nice and friendly to stop this madness. That's probably the reason why he is so strong in the Genocide Ending.

I encountered some contradictions: Why is there some many monsters in the underground if Gaster or Sans killed them all? Why nobody remembers Gaster who committed a Genocide? Why everyone likes Sans who committed it too? Why did they commit a Genocide Run if they are monsters themselves? I don't know.

Let's discuss this theory in the comments section: I'm waiting your opinions!
