[If you don't have a soul, what happens when you...?
He'd found out, once Frisk fell. When they chose FIGHT over MERCY at the end of a long fight, and the smiling face had faded away from the flower.
He finds out again, because he never looked at Chara with anything but utter trust. Never thought he might be in danger. Never braced himself for anything like this. The Real Knife is already biting into him before he even begins to comprehend what's happened.
Asriel staggers back, tugging his body off the blade. It's like a horrible mix of monster and hollow vessel, the way his body reacts. There's a wound, only it's not a wound, not in the sense that it should be. There's a hole, a blank spot hacked into him, and though a thin trail of dust trickles around the seams, it just stays there. Like a rip in a costume. Like a torn seam in a plush toy, only without any stuffing inside of it.]
Chara... wh... why?
[Chara would never -
It hits him like a bolt of lightning, sends him staggering back further, clutching his middle uselessly. This isn't Chara. This was never Chara. It was the wrong one the entire time.]
