All Chara's doing is reminding you that at the end of the day, you're still the same obsessive jerk that would do a Genocide Run. The goal is more that you get to get your jollies off pretending you're friends with everyone. It's not so much that Chara can't possess you at a moment's notice, he totally could. What do you think is the "happiest" ending you can achieve without a SOUL? What is the latest point in the game where you can die, having done the most good possible? Is it possible to die after saving Asriel?

Do you think Chara needs you to get to the surface before they can take control? If so, why? Therefore, if I make it most of the way back through a True Pacifist Route, then choose to kill myself and never open the game again ("let this world continue on without me"), would that prevent Chara from hurting everybody? My question is, why couldn't Chara do this sooner? Why not possess Frisk the moment they reset the world, and do a genocide run? This leads me to suspect that Chara might not be able to take control until you reach the surface, although why that might be I can't determine. We know (suspect) that if you make it to the surface without a SOUL, Chara will possess your body and murder your friends.

But what I'm wondering is, is there any way to save Frisk's monster friends now? Frisk killed the world, and that has consequences. No, I don't mean going back to the old, happy ending.
