What, me?

Well, let's see...

If we assume that Patience was the first human to fall down, then it's possible that Toriel mailed the SOUL to Asgore. After all, she says in the True Pacifist ending that Asgore could have broken through the barrier with just one SOUL. Perhaps she was expecting him to do just that.

But also, we know that the Patience human's items are found in separate locations. The Faded Ribbon in one of the Ruins' holes, and the Toy Knife in a tiny room. The ribbon might have fallen off the Patience human if they fell into a hole, and the knife? Toriel might have confiscated that from the human. Or, it might be some sort of memorabilia; after all, no one else goes into the room for fear of Toriel's wrath.

Also, when I think about it, I can't see a reason why a human would have to have a weapon and armor equipped at all times. Is there some sort of meta explanation for this?
