Are you more of a morning bunny, or a nightime bunny? When would you snuggle your bunny?

I was doing a few experiments with the stranger, and i found a few things you may or may not have noticed, so here it is:

If you disable the loop and then stay inside the stranger, it escapes the nova because of the solar sails, and you get a unique ending, the fade to black that reads:

"NOW BEYOND THE REACH OF THE SUPERNOVA, YOU FIND YOURSELF THE ONLY INHABITANT OF AN ABANDONED WORLD. SURELY SOMTHING HERE MUST BE EDIBLE?"

I then naturally wondered what would happen if i was inside the simulation, so i disabled it, then enterd it. I got the same ending as last time. So i tried killing myself on the fire to enter it as a dead consciousness, and that lead to another ending being

"HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED? THEY DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO HUNT YOU ANYMORE. TIME PASSES, AND PASSES, UNTIL YOUR LIFE BEFORE IS SOME HALF-REMEMBERED DREAM. IF ONLY YOU COULD WAKE UP."

This says two things: the hatchling might have survived for a while on...tree bark and dead leaves? Until he died lololol

As for the second ending, the stranger remains structurally intact for at least a few hundred years until anything breaks to put out the hatchlings fire, wich is pretty cool. I was extreamly suprised they made special endings for these two fairly niche interactions
