I'll bite.

If Chara is the one with the ability to reset, why don't they reset at any point in their life, such as when they (fused with Asriel) die?

Why is "reset" differentiated from "saving," given that the same basic mechanism is at play? Especially since Flowey's first "save point" is exactly like what happens when the protagonist dies early in the game without ever saving (i.e. the game is just reset).

Following from the latter question, on the idea that saving and resetting are in fact the exact same thing:

[This question is only pertinent if you believe in the "Chara is the narrator" theory] If Chara is the one who can save, but saving is tied to determination, then why is Chara saying that "you" (i.e. Frisk) is the one being filled with determination, rather than "I"?

[This question is only pertinent if you don't believe in the "Chara is the narrator" theory] If Chara is the one who can save, but saving is tied to determination, then is Chara the "you" being referred to at all of the save points? If so, then how does this square with the clear use of "you" to refer to Frisk by the game's narration?
