When I was first writing this scene, I ran into a bit of a dilemma: if they'd been left to their own devices, Frisk's fear and desire not to upset Toriel would've kept them in that room until she returned, which would have brought the plot to a standstill and prevented some key scenes.
That being the case, I needed to give them a bit of a push, so... Flowey to the rescue!
(Seriously, Toriel, was it really worth leaving them alone?)
