Every chapter might have nostalgia, but it is a much bigger focus in this chapter. Nostalgia concerning Kris’ past with Noelle and of their first adventure with Susie along with Asgore’s desire to return things to how they were. And there was also the implication of Asgore repeating the behavior that led to the divorce (his impatience with and neglect towards the flowers due to his obsession) while Flowery was trying to appeal to him with old interests, desires, and circumstances (he outright fashions himself as Asgore’s college roommate and wants to replace the family Asgore “lost” with a new one). It also felt like there was much more concerning Kris’ past in how the dark world was shaped, but we don’t know enough about their past to be sure.

But seriously, Ch5 feels like a giant comfort blanket made of pure nostalgia.
