Sans talks about multiple Sanses in his fight dialog. As if each timeline we go down generates a completely different universe with different instances of the same characters.

Flowey talks about everyone getting ripped from the True Pacifist Ending timeline if we decide to reset. As if, if we decide to do the True Reset, it will erase any timelines that existed after this point.

And if we give our soul to Chara, nothing else changes about the game... we're still in control.. except that last scene at the end where Chara takes control of the story from that point onward. Which might indicate that we are Chara after all, yet once the Player no longer has a chance to make user imput, Chara decides the story from the on.

When we rewind time... we seem to rewind everyone's memories along with it. Except for Flowey, who remember things we did other runs. And, for a brief moment remembering a timeline where we used to be friends.. Undyne does.

During his fight sequence, Asriel says many interesting things:

"After I defeat you and gain total control over the timeline... I just want to reset everything." "All your progress... Everyone's memories. I'll bring them all back to zero!"

So...

-Asriel doesn't have full control over the timeline, until he defeats Frisk. He can't do a reset as long as Frisk stands. -When everything is reset, and we use The Very Power That Flowey Says We Fought Him To Prevent Him From Using, everyone will forget everything.

"Every time you die, your grip on this world slips away. Every time you die, your friends forget you a little more. Your life will end here, in a world wher eno one remembers you..."

"Still you're hanging on...? That's fine. In a few moments, you'l forget everything, too. That attitude will serve you well in your next life!"

-So whenever someone dies... people forget them a little more? Is this specifically because they died.. or is this something that innately happens whenever someone reloads their Save?

-And we lose some of our own memories, as well?

There are a lot of moving parts here.
