Chara's soul was still in Asriel 5 seconds ago. Even Jack noticed that immediately when it came time to save The Seventh Soul.

And Asriel retains his compassion, even after releasing all the other souls.

Asriel's monster soul was lost and shattered when he died the first time. That's why we need Gerson's dialog to show us how he's going to recharge it later.

But human souls persist after death. And Chara's did.
