Look, I’ve never coded a game before (unless you count those, “Hour of Code” games). I don’t really know much about code. It was just my best guess

Toby is the one who made the game. He’s at least involved in the reason why the slash is a slash. I assumed the reason it was a slash is from outside the game because I didn’t think it many any sense in the game’s context. We all think differently from each other. We have different perspectives on things. Also, not everything can be explained in the context of the game’s world. Try to explain how the Punch Card Glitch works in context

Though there IS an option I considered to explain what happened that can only be explained as, “Frisk was tired of Sans’s garbage and didn’t even care about using the weapon correctly”

Wait a second I just remembered: It’s a fluffing cutscene! It’s not an attack leading into a cutscene because like everything else! Same with what happened after!

Also, maybe Chara using the slash is because it’s the attack animation for the most weapons (at least last time I checked). It’s the simplest one. The classic. The default. The whatever other word I can think of that’s even tangentially related (or maybe not at all!)

Though I just gotta say, love the way you ended that comment XD

Toby would be proud
