The Toy Knife is in the room overlooking Home. Not the toy chest.

Ahh. Okay, I get the argument on option 2 being unlikely now. The Incident, no more than 1 year, flower blooms, Toriel leaves.

Actually, it's exceptionally unlikely. Toriel left because Asgore declared a new war. It would almost certainly take under a year for Asgore to finish mourning and make a decision, and for Toriel to pack up and leave.

So, how would the items make their way back?

Given our current situation, I'll make this guess: Toriel cared especially for the cyan human, and asked that their items be returned. The items were lost among the Ruins by somebody, possibly the other humans, possibly local monsters, possibly dropped out of Toriel's pockets. Other thoughts?
