I mean, when we don't play the game for a long time and then decide to play it, we don't see Flowey taking over it, haha... In case you have forgotten it, you load a save. Any progress you make after your last save is lost when you quit or reset. So, Flowey can take over while Frisk is away, and Frisk doesn't make saves after leaving the underworld. It is either Flowey taking over, or a time loop. Well, the only time we witness Flowey taking over our Save files is when he goes Omega... Even after True Pacifist run and credits after they have left Underground, Frisk/Player is able to return to their last save file and True Reset. Well, yes, but we are explicitly informed, from multiple sources, that before Frisk's arrival, Flowey had the power to save, load, and reset. So, when and until Frisk isn't present, Flowey should have those back.

There is no indication about the human souls either. They could just still linger in the underworld, waiting to be harvested by... most likely Flowey, since the dancing mushroom and boiled-egg-Temmie won't really move around, and there are probably no other monsters who stay.
