"Child, why would anyone throw themself into the CORE? On purpose?" "It's....not a very happy reason."

Well, look at this. Chara, as a ghost, threw themself into the CORE, and got removed from existence and into the void. And Gaster foun d them, amazed at why anyone would throw themself here on purpose.
Gaster got here by accident.
Chara got here on purpose.
What reasons?

......................You.

After Chara showed up after Frisk finished Genocide, and erased the world from them, Frisk thought Chara was the source of their evil, not willing to believe that it was their own actions that had resulted in this outcome. Chara believed they were doing the right thing, taking away Frisk's happy endings, seeing they didn't deserve those because of Genocide.
Until voices started coming. Voices that called them evil. Monster. Demon.
Our voices.
We, the ones who are actually responsible for this. We don't admit that Genocide happened because of us. We don't admit that we killed everyone. We don't admit that we corrupted a little kid and a lost spirit of a kid, who only needed guidance in the right way to become a better person. They were confused. They needed someone to help them understand why they were back.
And we ruined it.
But do we admit it? NOPE! Just blame it on Chara! Yeah! Now I feel like a champion! I am so innocent, OH SO INNOCENT I COULD KILL EVERYONE AND BLAME A GHOST, WHO DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHY IT WAS HERE AND GOT THE WRONG MESSAGE BECAUSE OF ME, FOR IT! BECAUSE I MADE IT EVIL! NOW I CAN BLAME IT FOR GENOCIDE! AND GET AWAY WITH IT!
Well guess what? They heard everything. How you refuse to admit. How you won't stop. Genocide, Pacifist, Genocide, Pacifist, Genocide, Pacifist, Genocide, Pacifist.....it all went on, the Anomalies (the players) grew meaner....until Chara couldn't take it anymore, and threw themself into the CORE, seeing there was really no point left in staying if it was all trapped in an endless cycle of MERCY everyone, now FIGHT everyone, and keep listening to all our hate at them.

Well, nice going! You just made a ghost child do suicide by erasure from timeline.
I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.
