* AmbiguousSituation: Downplayed with Zalgo [[SympathyForTheHero shedding a tear of sympathy for Chara's initial struggle to solve the mysteries related to the author]]. As the narration and Chara's inner monologue point out, the tear he shed looked too fake and he might've faked his sympathy for her (see BreakThemByTalking below to see he's not really above abusing and toying with her emotions, even if he has a weird VillainousCrush on her). However, it's left open the question if it is exactly what it's implied, or it's simply a case of BizarreAlienBiology and [[PetTheDog he was really doing a creepy, but honest display of sympathy]].

* VillainousCrush: A hinted, [[NoYay creepy]] variation that Zalgo may have for Chara, as suggested in "Friendship Ever After: A Doll Musical". He talks softly and politely to her even if she just gives him her rage back, specifically calls her "My sweet [[ArcSymbol Buttercup Flower]]" and other TermsOfEndangerment, and teases her in a creepily sweet and playful way when not threatening and/or mocking her. ...buuut it's {{Subverted}} when Chara refuses his offer to join the Zodiac Demons. Notably, in "Terrorcalypse - Part 1", he chuckles at Chara's attempt to sound threatening enough to go par-on-par with the Demons because he finds it amusing and adorable, instead of mocking her.
