I don't like to repeat myself.

But (for the fourth time or so) you have still dodged my question. How can Flowey forget everything after a True Reset but not a normal one?

I offered a way out. An improbable one, but the most sensible one I had (yellow text for my own quotes). "I n between his talk at the flowerbed and his talk upon reloading, he suddenly, out of the blue, after years of resetting, [...] realized he still had a SOUL. And then let it go. And, despite trusting Frisk, didn't tell them about it. "

Here's an alternate hypothesis of mine for how a True Reset is special, one that does not state Asriel still has a SOUL: " Flowey has learned to control his DT level. At the end of True Pacifist, knowing he couldn't go through again remembering everything, he manually reduces his DT enough to forget. My argument further states that the rest of the characters' déjà vu is essentially lingering metadata carried by Flowey ." Watch, he's going to ignore it again. Do you have a more probable explanation for his selective amnesia, or do you not?
