do yall think in some runs, flowey and clover like really really bonded

like they made an inside joke or something. had an actual serious moment where clover spilled a bit about their life on the surface that hit too close to home enough that flowey actually listened?

maybe for the rest of that run until their death, flowey had some genuine care for clover, though stopped doing so remembering clover was likely going to die in it and every other run.

flowey is left with these memories and him only.

sometimes would he subconsciously says a joke from the past and realize disappointingly that clover doesn't remember.

all those good times just go to complete waste at their death. if clover dies, so does the memories of the run. flowey cannot hold on a single memory alone. after many many long runs he's going to forget eventually.

if he's going to forget, what's the point of remembering. whats the point of caring. the entire thing just proves flowey's point, there isn't much reason to care for others if it only lasts a run.

except, when the player becomes present, clover is remembering, indirectly. Clover themselves might not remember previous times at this point, but as the thing controlling them we do. we indirectly imbue previous runs into their mind, aware of it or not. better soul movements, different responses. at some point clover has to realize there's something different. it doesn't help that flowey after a neutral run skips his tutorial. wouldn't someone new like them need guidance? but no, clover is such a brave, clever person who doesn't need one.

to them, this is clover's first time there so that shouldn't be the case. there's something terribly wrong and it only takes 1 killed monster to find out what.
