Souls break, it is visible in the game why is Chara suddenly the grand exception. When a human or monster dies we see their soul shatter into pieces. Naturally there must be some part of Soul that survives hence explaining why Asriel is Flowey and Chara is able to continue on inside of Frisk but I'm not about to just go "well Chara's soul didn't break and he didn't die because plot." It's heavily established Chara is deader than dodo, maybe not gone for good but dead yes he must certainly is.
