(SPOILERS, even though you basically came to this Wiki for them or you've already played through the game)



My head cannon about this is that once Frisk fell down into the Mountain, Chara's soul found its way to them after seeing potential in their abilities. You have the option to fight in the game because of Chara's influence on Frisk, but every time you spare an enemy Chara's influence weakens. Chara and you, the player, both have influence on Frisk. Your influence is supposed to guide them in the right direction, whilst Chara's is supposed to guide them into the wrong direction. Once you complete the neutral route and then go back to complete the pacifist route, Frisk can finally shake off Chara's influence completely by you choosing sparing Asriel. If you chose to lead Frisk down the wrong way, then at the end of the game when you choose to destroy the world, then you are feeding into what Chara wanted all along. Then, if you go to restart the game and wait ten minutes, you aren't selling your own soul to Chara, you're selling Frisk's soul to Chara. Frisk's soul alone is very weak for a human soul because Frisk is just a child who doesn't know what to do in the world. They haven't been influenced by anyone or anything yet and that means they would be very susceptible to anything that comes their way, such as the Player or Chara. Just some food for thought from me. Thank you for reading.
