Okay wait, what I don't get are the following things:
1.
> monsters are made of very little mass, and it is magic that holds it together, until they die, the magic fails and they collapse into dust
> Asriel dies, his ashes serve as fertile ground for flowers
> flower emerges that, after DT injection, is convinced it is Asriel and has all his memories.
> unless a copy of the entirety of his memories is stored in each piece or 'molecule' of dust/ash, there must have been some sort of residue of his magic, or his soul, that simply osmosized into the flower
2.
> Flowey's attitude before true pacifist ending: Fuck it, kill everyone, Frisk, I don't feel anything seeing my parents die, might as well do it myself, it's meaningless either way, we can just reset in the worst case
> Flowey's attitude after pacifist ending: Player, please don't restart the game, I can't do this again (implying from an emotional standpoint) Flowey feels something and for some reason suddenly cares about monsters
> what happened during true pacifist ending: Flowey carried lots of souls in his body
Either when he restored the world, he restored his own soul and decided to become some sort of secret guardian of the monsters, or Flowey had some sort of miniscule fragment of Asriel's soul to begin with and it grew when he was surrounded by other souls.
Therefore why does he not:
> go on journey, relieving dying humans of their regrets and absorbing their souls for as long as he needs them in exchange
> keep traveling and doing this until his souls has regrown enough for Toriel and Asgore to start aging again
> send Frisk a letter, telling him that he's gonna have a little bro after all
> recreate his old body, set the human souls free and go back home as Asriel
> if the Dreemurrs aren't remarried by then, the catalyst for their divorce (Asriel's death) being undone will bring them back together again
The only other explanation I'd have as to why he doesn't do this, is that the knowledge of having killed his friends and family over and over and having brought as much suffering to them as he did, using his determination, would inflict such overwhelming emotional pain on him if he was capable of emotions, that he would rather feel nothing and remain a soulless flower for all eternity than to go through this again (as this is probably part of what happens in the end of his Delta Rune encounter).
If this is the case, then yes, the player did save him, but exactly that was the problem. He doesn't want to be saved. Getting saved means insufferable pain to him. He is truly pic related.
