Well, if you're going to not read spoiler tags until after, then I'll stick it in spoiler tags, then. Again, please do not read this until you finish the next part. You'll know the point when it's ok, trust me.

only point out things if everything related to them has been presented to the player already.

Also, going off by what you've typed and the quote above, it might have clicked if you read the red screens that popped up just after you talked with Alphys in the power room, but c'e la vie.

So, having gone through the True Lab, you know that Alphys went a bit mad scientist and did some experiments with the essence of Determination, trying to revive dead monsters( who turn to dust after they first die cause magic magic bullshit).

The Determination did lead to them reviving them...but, through probably bad interactions with magic and Determination or something, the revived monsters couldn't hold it and became the Amalgamates: Snowy, Lemon Bread, etc.

Now, calling back to Asriel's death, it was said that he died( with a combined human/monster soul, note) in the throne room, spreading his dust over the Golden Flower that he brought back from the surface( which is why the room is now full of them) . And since, well, parents would obviously jump on the chance to save their child, and the fact that, initially, the Determination experiments were going well... what is the only character in the game that is a flower?
