[Finally, he manages to collect himself.] Hah... Just call me Flowey. I'd say 'nice to meet you', but we're far past that. What's yours?
[He doesn't meet her stare-- at least, he avoids where he thinks her gaze is, since it's hard to tell.] Oh, and, uh... sorry. Or whatever. I don't actually want you to go killing yourself. There, I said it, okay? [It's almost as if he's trying to quiet some sort of conscience.]
... You remind me of them, you know? My friend from back then. Maybe a little less misanthropic, but not by much. Heh. [He manages a small sad grin at that.
... Maybe that's why he reacted so strongly to her accepting death so blithely.] They never talked about what happened to them to make them hate humanity so much. Now they're gone, and I let it happen.
So if you're gonna tell me to stay alive, then you have to, also. Or else I'll find some way to bring you back and kill you again.
[She said she wouldn't mind getting a snack, being around the people she wants to be with, playing... what he assumes is a video game? And while he can't feel love or empathy, or get back all the years he lost, or undo all of his crimes... that might be fine, too. To try something new for the first time in ages. To try helping people again- for real this time- instead of hurting them.
He spent so long thinking that what Chara would've wanted was for him to finish the job. Now that he can look back on it more clearly... maybe Shoka's interpretation is a little closer to how they actually may have felt. He'll never know... but he's still here, so he might as well keep going.]
