- The date the game takes place in.

 - The reason why the souls bear the colors they do.

 - How much Asgore knows about the battle system (I say the smashing of the mercy button was just symbolical), and how much of the meta stuff is actually "canon". I mean, Frisk didn't name Chara. We, the players did, so it can't be canon with the story.

 - Whether or not the items show that the humans died before reaching Asgore. - The future, why bother with a date it's not like they'll be much comparison to our own world and who knows maybe in the future they have weird sounding names for years including letters now.

- Originally I thought Toby was going for the whole 7 chakra colour thing but the colours are wrong sooo I guess it's as simple as 'the defining trait means a defining colour' or some special snowflake kind of logic for Human Souls.

- The game likes to break the 4th wall a lot but I guess you could also spin it in a non-meta light as more of an in-universe science thing.
