I was always curious to know why there is a bed of flowers in Waterfall (Frisk falls on them after being chased by Undyne). At that point, you learn more about Chara so I decided to give the flowers a background.
Chara and their friends were playing in Waterfall when Chara tripped, falling off the cliff and into the dump (on top of the sharp grates). Chara comes really close to dying (☝︎✌︎💧︎❄︎☜︎☼︎ saved them), and Asgore/Toriel had flowers planted there for safety of others.

"Tag, you're it!"
Sans laughed, running around the maze, trying to stay away from Chara. They were running on the path next to him; he stuck his tongue out at them.
Chara looked at him, playfully annoyed. The human slowed down just a little bit so they weren't parallel, then positioned themself to jump the gap over to him. They chased him to the large dead-end platform before running to tag him.
He dodged. At the same moment, Chara hit a bad step and slipped. They quickly went into a summersault, protecting their head and neck from the sharp grates. The child landed in a kneeling position; not realizing how close they were to the edge. Chara quickly tried to stand up. Once again slipping. they were too close to react as their head slammed into the grate.
They groaned and felt like they were slipping backward.
"CHARA!!" Sans shrieked, running toward them.
No, they /were/ slipping backward! Then falling. Not being able to reach the grates, they reached for Sans' outstretched hand. But he was just barely too far.
"CHARA!!"
Soon Papyrus, Asriel, and another kid they were playing with were there, . Chara watched their friends get smaller, became filled with determination, positioned themself to maybe protect their head and neck for when they hit the ground, "I don't want to die,"
They heard and felt the loud snap and echo of hitting grate. There was only a moment of complete white in Chara's vision, before nothing.
Sans panicked, "Chara, nononono,"
"Sans, calm down," Papyrus urged gently before hugging his older brother, "go get them and bring them to dad. We'll meet you there."
"Yeah, okay," he replied weakly before calming down enough to teleport to the dump. He picked his friend up; blood ran freely from their mouth and although there were no bones piercing through their skin, their mangled position said countless had broken. Not to mention the large cuts and gashes on many parts of their body, likely from the sharp grates cutting.

The lab was farther, and he had never teleported more than himself before. Still, he tried to clear his mind and focus. When he opened his eyes, Waterfall was gone, replaced with the lab he called home. He couldn't see anyone, so he just screamed,
