I think Flowey's coming back (ERAM is Asriel)
That's my theory everybody. I think if Flowey doesn't come back literally, we've seen so much Flowey symbolism that he's gonna be relevant somehow metaphorically-- Asriel is dead perhaps, or a revenant, or trying to come back somehow.
Specifically, I think that ERAM is Asriel in some form. I'd put money on that-- ERAM is "Mare" backwards, Flowey's theme was Your Best Nightmare, and ERAM's little sprite looks frankly a lot like a tiny squished version of Asriel in his battle form in Undertale. He taunts you a lot like Flowey does.
I was making a theory video with the whole thing laid out but for sure it's not gonna get made before the next game comes out, so I'm putting it out there that I think ERAM is Asriel and that's why we keep seeing golden flowers everywhere.
