Who Heals Frisk?

saveloadreset:

There’s something inexplicable that I happens in Undertale that as of yet has no explanation. Who exactly IS healing Frisk? In the beginning of the game, we are pinned down by Flowey. Attacked. And then, we are suddenly healed to full. And Flowey?

Is utterly speechless. His mouth is wide open and he’s staring, as if to say ‘what did you DO?!’ 

Now, it’s easy to assume that this is Toriel’s doing. After all, we see that she is capable of healing us later on, and blows Flowey away immediately after. But look at where he’s staring … At US. He sees Toriel later, and he looks to the right. So, if Toriel is to the right, and he’s looking at US when we suddenly jump to full health … (Forgive me for not getting that moment in screenshot; his sprite only changes for a fraction of a second and I can’t quite capture it. But, pay attention on your own runs and you will see it.)

Not only that  there’s a sound effect that plays when we are healed/Flowey’s missiles disappear that doesn’t play when Toriel heals us … But DOES play again. It plays a LOT. It plays every time we interact with a SAVE point.

And here also we are healed completely.

 It plays one more time. During Frisk’s hour of dire need, when they scream out into into the darkness and call for help …

And this time as well, the same sound effect plays, we get healed and Flowey has NO IDEA what just happened. He’s just as confused now as he was then.

So. Let me ask you a question. What healed Frisk? Who could have answered? 

Who was with us at every SAVE point? At the beginning of the game, when we fight Flowey, who was there? Who was the last person who had yet to give Frisk their aid in the battle against Omega Flowey? 

Who heals Frisk?

I think all these questions have the same answer: Chara.
