Talk:Worn Dagger/@comment-31563015-20181110151825

Okay, I need to clarify something here... the Worn Dagger while being found in the same place is NOT the same item as the Real Knife. Same with the heart locket and THE LOCKET. These items exist relative to the level of LOVE that you have, but the reality is that the world itself is being manipulated by your levels of DETERMINATION. On a pacifist and neutral run, Frisk has no real need for a killing weapon and so the Worn Dagger, what the item is truly meant to be, remains as it is. Likewise for the heart locket... however, on a GENOCIDE route, Chara's influence in the world has reached a point where the items change to what they desire them to be. It is very likely Chara does not associate the worn dagger with a weapon for killing, but has seen Toriel and others use knives for the purpose of cutting sharply into things (hence, 'where are the knives' is more relevant because if Chara thought of the dagger as a weapon they would make more note of a dagger over a knife)... equally, THE LOCKET makes clear reference to 'you can feel it beating' when checked. As you gain LOVE, your soul becomes more distant, so you feel less pain and can cause more pain to others. It is very likely that due to the close connection Chara has to the locket, they can use it as a vessel to contain the SOUL (and thus why it is 'beating' as it has your SOUL heart).

If the WORN DAGGER was really the REAL KNIFE, there wouldn't be a notable distinction as to the difference of the type of weapon from 'knife' to 'dagger'.
