Baba can move.
It can, but. It won't. BABA isn't meant to be itself. It isn't meant to be anything--it's a vessel. A vessel for YOU.
But YOU isn't there. It isn't defined--the game designates YOU as BABA when it opens, usually.
But the game isn't open. And YOU isn't there.
[You are here, of course, reading this story. But that's a passenger role. You can't help Baba.]
A few things are defined, that BABA can see.
BABA is AUTONOMOUS.
GAME has STORY.
STORY has ENDING.
ENDING is WIN.
It's not defined in the game. But make no mistake, BABA is FRIGHTENED and CONFUSED.
