POV: you are a random owlk, rudely interrupting
Welp, the hatchling's getting radicalized. Or romanced. Either way it's good for the universe :)

It's so satisfying seeing scientifically accurate creature designs in videogames and films.
Outer Wilds makes a fantastic job with its own world and Owlks are top tier design from a biological perspective. I just needed to prove it
(None of this has been approved as canon unless I specifically say so)

ive been thinking ab the themes of outer wilds again, and the line "the universe is, and we are." and i noticed, nothing in the game is malicious. the closest thing is the fish and theyre just hungry, or the owlks bc theyre scared, and even then they only kick you out of their simulation.
all of the ways you can die is just nature. the caves fill with sand no matter if youre there or not. the sun will explode no matter what anyone does to stop it or even to cause it. the interloper exploded bc the pressure was too much. none of it is out of malice. the universe is a dangerous place, but that doesnt mean its hostile.
you are going to die no matter what. take that life and do what makes you happy.
the universe is, and we are.

You ever think about the fact that throughout Outer Wilds, you find people by listening to them playing the main theme all together. And then when you get to the stranger, you pull out your signalscope to find - nothing. Silence. These people did everything in their power to hide, of course they're not going to broadcast themselves to you. But even so, once you reach the reservoir, River’s End starts playing. And embedded within this track, you once again hear the main theme - but while the song of the travelers is usually full of hope and curiosity, played in a major key, this time that melody is tragic, mournful, and very much final. And it’s played not by banjo or acoustic guitar, but by electric guitar, in this weird digitized approximation of the natural sound you know so well… a simulated version of the real thing, one might say. And while nobody is playing an instrument, there is still a person - the prisoner. And this song you hear, it’s almost as if he’s calling out to you In the only way the game has ever told you that someone is there. Desperately hoping to be found, but almost giving up hope.
