"Because no one expected a human."

No, they were. They needed 7 souls, they all know they have six and only need one more, as well as the fact that humans have been falling down and coming from the ruins. They knew.

They know what humans are, most they know what they look like since seven fell before Frisk, and them saying or remarking that your human in battle or in the overworld is just redundant, since that would be saying the obvious.

"Why does it exist then?"

Why does the wind blow? Why do we exist? Why is everything the way it is? What caused the big bang? What made what caused the big bang? What created what made what caused the big bang? Etc.

This question is NEVER brought up by the game, or even hinted/implied. It's not a question they we're looking for the answer for. It has no purpose in piecing together the canon, nor any relevance to canon.

Does it tell you what trait Red is? Does it tell you what order the humans fell and died in? Does it tell you who Gaster is, or what his story is? Does it tell you anything that's left open or brought up by the game? Is the question itself EVER brought up, mentioned, implied, hinted, or stated IN THE GAME? If not, then this question has no purpose.

"But there isn't an F4 button in the game. Only on our keyboards. So, if we want to futher push the idea of everything being canon exactly the way we see it on the screen, then closing the game to reload is canon, which would confirm what I asked above, that Frisk can leave the world. I mean, if we say there is a "reload" button that we just don't see, then what else is there that we don't see, what else differs from our screen versus the in-game world? Could it be... everything about the HUD? I mean, why not? What's the difference, amirite?"

Question: does any other Froggit do what that one did?

Also, doesn't that moreso push what I've said previously? That the Player is the Anomaly, an entity that sees and uses the world as a game. Nothing else implies a simulated world, otherwise there'd be more indications. We don't even know about the Anomaly until Sans 4th Wall break in Genocide, I always just assumed that was to push that angle.

Also, Oneshot never even references the fact that it's a game It fits more with what I've been trying to say for Undertale, that the world is it's own but the game is a gateway to that world. You know, the basic concept of the 4th Wall and general media?

Didn't Shakespeare fo this kind of thing in his various plays, like Hamlet for example?
