Not everyone knows everything in this game.

Remember how Chara doesn't know how many HP Sans has, or what the monster candy tastes like, getting them both very wrong.

Gaster's soul was never recovered, and Sans is still alive. The monsters know six other humans fell, and their souls were collected, but monsters can't talk about what they don't know.

Can you name a single other character in the royal circles that was lost just before Chara arrived, other than Gaster?

And I'll give you a hint: It wasn't Toriel.

Not only would Asgore not tolerate a statue of Toriel being defiled, but I just noticed a strange thing at the start of the True Pacifist ending where you met all your friends: Nobody other than Asgore knows what Toriel even looks like!

This is actually pretty worrisome. It means that Alphys, Undyne, and Papyrus have never seen Toriel, or a picture of her before.

Now only does this suggest that the actual time of the game might be long past 201X, since most of the monsters grew up after the time Toriel left, it also means that that founding couldn't possibly be about Toriel, since it was removed last week and everyone would still know what Toriel looked like.

So, it wasn't a memorial statue of Toriel.
