How can I absorb Toriel's SOUL?
In my first playthrough of Undertale, after killing Toriel, instead of her SOUL cracking and shattering, it was merged with mine. It happened only on my first playthrough (neutral).
Here's what I know for sure:
- I got hit by flowey. I didn't evade his "friendliness pallets".
- I killed the dummy.
- I took all the candies I could from the jar (tipping it over)
- I bought one of the cheaper kind of spider products.
- I did not take the Toy Knife, I fought Toriel with my stick.
- I never fled from a battle.
- I "killed" Napstablook.
- I picked Cinnamon when asked.
- I never called Toriel back during my stay at the RUINs.
- I tried to talk to Toriel once, spare her once, then proceeded to attack her for the rest of the battle.
- I didn't reach 2HP (her attacks didn't evade me)
- I didn't die at any point in the RUINs.
What I don't remember for sure:
- Did I get the pie? I didn't go to sleep. But I don't remember if I had gotten it nevertheless.
- If I had gotten the pie, did I eat it during her battle?
- Exactly which monsters I've killed during my stay at the RUINS.
I don't have a savefile of the game, I only discovered that it was abnormal after I've done a genocide run and decided to wipe the game files for a true pacifist run.
I've made neutral, pacifist, genocide, pacifist runs, in that order. I obviously didn't see it in the pacifist, and I attributed her SOUL shattering in the genocide run to my cruelty (I hit her so hard, her SOUL couldn't recover).
Have anyone experienced this? Do you know what can possibly be done to attempt and reproduce this? I'll answer any clarification requests in the comments, this issue is driving me crazy!

This is quite unusual but yes, i have experienced it on my first play through. What happened was i (accidently..) killed Toriel... This might have been different for you because i think this is a glitch. For me, Toriel's heart "refused" and fused with mine. This must have been [spoiler alert] a glitch from:
Asriel's fight where the soul "refuses".
The merging part was a glitch from:
Omega Flowey's boss fight when he absorbs the soul.
Other stuff happened to me afterwards like:
- Gaster door opened
- Undyne fight: True heroine and neutral/pacifist Undyne fight music playing at the same time
- Gave me the pacifist after genocide ending and not Omega Flowey.(The one where you go pacifist but when you wake up you have a red glimmer in your eye.. and Chara's face...)
Mine had allot more issues than yours did... I reset but, instead of Toriel saying: You look like you have seen a ghost my child (something like that anyway), she went along like it was the first time. Even in judgement hall.. No one remembered the last reset.. So that went in deep but yeah it's happened to me..

Is there a way to let Toriel live?
At the end of the Ruins, Toriel tells the protagonist to prove that they are strong enough to survive and fights them in a test of strength. She can be killed or spared; if spared, Toriel allows them to leave, but advises them to never return and hugs them briefly.Can Frisk absorb human souls?
Despite being red,Frisk soul shatter,unlike a human soul which persist,but like a boss monster. Also,he don't absorb Toriel soul's. If a boss monster were to gain determination,like Asriel by absorbing Chara,its soul should be like the soul of Frisk.How can Asriel absorb monster souls?
Using his god-like powers, Asriel was able to transform his body into three different forms. Perhaps, upon absorbing the monsters, each monster was transformed into a persisting soul. This would explain why the monster souls do not immediately vanish upon leaving his body.Undertale - How to Spare Toriel
