Hm... so human souls persist after death, most monster souls dissipate after death, and a fusion soul crumbles, but that residue stays intact after death. Interesting...

I'm not sure about Frisk's soul weakening due to imbibing Chara's residue, though- again, a fusion soul would logically be stronger than human and demon souls are individually, so a human soul (Frisk's) mixed with fusion residue would likewise logically turn out stronger. My headcanon is that Frisk's soul shattering during a Game Over is actually just the soul going back in time to the last SAVE point- it shatters as it moves back in time, then is pulled back together when it arrives at the point. This could even potentially be consistent with Gaster apparently shattering and being scattered across time and space- if he was doing some kind of SAVE/LOAD experiments, then he could have shattered for similar reasons, but being a monster and lacking a SAVE point to cling to, he couldn't reassemble himself.
