Flower King's hidden door

So, Flower King; major POI, owned by the increasingly important Asgore, and home to an unseen basement I've seen barely anyone talk a lot about.

It was already weird in ch1 when the sploch on the ground wasn't interactable due to the truck, then in ch2 it was revealed to be a door blocked by flowers? Now we know there's a basement window beside it, and the basement has a corkboard and doc and stuff. But nothing else about the door. Not where it leads to, since there´s no back door inside the shop, and the narration mentions a basement window, not the door's window, nor why its always locked. Also, speaking of doors not present inside Flower King, There isn't a basement door either. Is the only access to the basement from the outside? That would seem very strange... Which is where my theory comes in:

There's an entrance to the basement behind the flower wall in the shop.

That's RIGHT this is some Grunkle Stan lab behind the vending machine situation. The back door may also lead to the basement, im not sure about that, but what i do know is that the entrance from the inside is right behind that vertical display between the stairs to the 2nd floor.

My evidence for this is very vibes based honestly, but its VERY door/entry shaped, and a very interesting asset in the room. Located right between two other thresholds to stairs.

 

I could even see a situation where, after sealing the Dark World, Asgore is nowhere to be seen, and the wall display has a whole through it, making the basement accessible, where we have to follow him, and finally get to know what his deal is. Or maybe he even gets taken there by the Knight? I'm just spitballing here honestly, just in case any of my thoughts happen to be right and i can shove it into y'alls faces lmao.

Secondly, I just wanted to say, 

THAT Flower King door is NOT the chapter 5 Dark World 

Or at least not all of it.

I am not fully convinced about it just NOT being the Dark World at all, some unassuming double doors are most certainly suspect. (Then again, I doubt Toby hadn't thought of the Cyber World before releasing ch1, and that door wasn't double, he had to retroactively make it double to have it look cool, so theres really no indication that a double door in ch1 meant "Dark World here", as the next Dark World didn't have a double door.) (dunno if that made a lot of sense whoops)

Like yeah, obviosly there's gonna be a Dark World in Flower King, but, why would it be limited to that weird closet on the top floor? specially when Asgore's room has a bunch of objects of interest that would be perfect for a Dark World (THE SOULS-AND-FLOWEY COLORED FLOWERS), on top of the bottom floor being a perfect setpiece for some really pretty visuals. Its pink and yellow color scheme matches perfectly with Gerson's description of a  "Field of Pink and Gold" (massive realization I JUST had btw).

Honestly I could even see the famous door being another case of the ch2 and ch4 closets where large people can easily fit inside.

But that's it for this entry, my kinda baseless theory and a major pet pieve of mine, are now out documented. Cant wait for ch5 to make me look like a total idiot.

Thanks for reading!
