Talk:Genocide Route/@comment-96.255.23.61-20151014214204

I regret not having any links on hand, but there's a theory that while Chara shares Frisk's headspace throughout the game on any route, in the Genocide route a third entity is present in Chara-overshadowing-Frisk, at least after you hit level 20, that being the Demon Who Comes Whenever Their Name Is Called. In the Neutral route, Frisk and Chara are always in conflict, so it influences Flowey instead of messing with you too much, while in Pacifist route, Frisk and Chara are, by the end (when Fight and Mercy fall away and the only option is SAVE) in agreement, the Demon has nowhere to go or be.

It's an interesting theory, and I like it, but it might just be appealing to my "don't demonize Chara, shit's complicated" bias.
