sans is stuck, along with all the other characters.

Think...

When you start, you start at the beginning of the game, the story. When you finish, and play again, you start at the beginning. So the time line is stuck, nothing ever progresses past the point of the end of the game, and i think this is why. The human has the power to save and reset and load, but through doing this, they have torn apart the concept of space and time, and are now stuck in a doctor strange style time loop, where no one can escape, sans doesn’t remember anything that once happened, but he knows that this does happen, that’s why, beneath his smiley exterior, he is a ticking time bomb of sadness and depression.
