I have noticed somethng.

Sans and Papyrus appear out of nowhere. To my knowledge, although I could be wrong, we don't know specifically when. I had a thought/theory.

1: The Child of Perseverance

This child's traits are that they would survive through thick and thin. The Items associated with them are the Torn Notebook and the Cloudy Glasses. Sans has the Karmic Retribution attack, one of the combat mechanics associated with this soul. Sans also manages to persevere throughout the genocide fight, despite being the obviously weaker opponent, and is known to have a background in science, which the Notebook and the Glasses could be ( loosely ) related to. I believe that Sans is, possibly, rather than the soul of the child, the living conscience and the remaining body, imbued with magic from the child's undying will to live on, but not enough will to reach the full level of determination.

2. The Child of Kindness.

This child's traits are that they were kind, at least that is what we know. The Items associated with them are the Burnt Pan and the Stained Apron. One of the combat mechanics of this one is to heal the protagonist rather than hurt them. Papyrus has also shown great kindness throughout the game, trying to aid the protagonist in any way they can, and helping many others along the way. The items also correspond with him, with them being based around cooking, and him having his love for spaghetti. I believe that, somehow, Papyrus, like sans, is the  conscience of the child that somehow managed to live on, maybe because of Sans refusing to let him go, and his will somehow making Papyrus come into being.



It is a loose theory, but that is the point of theories. I put some research into this and had an idea. If anything, it could be an AU or something. Peace.
