You end your conversation with River, regret pulling at you. You want…what do you want, exactly? To talk to her again, yes. But what else? You go upstairs in a daze, closing the door quick behind you, your forehead against the wood. For a moment, your heart gives a single nervous thump. Then you remember this is your water you’re thinking about.

And that she’s also in the bathroom next door.

Ever since I played the game for the first time, I've been wondering why all the objects seem so eager to become human. What about being human seems so appealing to them? What can they get from being human that they can't get as objects? Aside from interacting with living creatures, I suppose. They seem to be having a good time existing as they are, and many of them have friends and family that they'll never see again if they become human (I don't care whether or not what Skylar said about them having their own lives could be eluding to those lives not actually being real, because they still seem real to the objects).

And aside from that, they're giving up what would be more or less immortality for what might be a very short life. I know some of them could accept only living for 30-60 years or less for a life that might be better than what they already have, but I have a hard time believing all of them would be willing to let go of their immortality for a form that is in some cases a lot more fragile than what they already have.
