But they chose not to. And if they really cared about the lives of others then why allow you entire family die. And why only reveal yourself when you have killed everybody, when you could have prevented all of it from the start The reason I think they didn't try to stop Frisk, was because they were soulless, in this state, they aren't good, but not evil either. and by doing pacifist they become good, and by doing genocide, they become evil. in other words, i view post-death Chara kinda like Flowey, still retaining they memories of being alive, but not the same person, due to the lack of a soul. if you do pacifist, they become a lot like their pre-death state, but a lot better. and if you do genocide, they become a evil, soul-eating demon. This is just a theory, that's just what I think happened, and a single tweet from Toby Fox could disprove it.
