      I'm gonna make an incredibly bold prediction that I have almost no evidence for whatsoever, but I can't help but think that with these unexplained disappearances in the Don't Starve universe seemingly becoming more and more apparent to the people on earth to the point where it's reaching headlines, (and here's my prediction) the Constant- whether it's Charlie's influence or simply some kind of instability between both worlds, is gradually leaking into and changing earth at an increasing rate. In fact, what if the "return of Them" is not _"Them"_ returning to the Constant, but to earth? After all, how did Maxwell (A.K.A William Carter) discover the Codex Umbra on earth if something magical like that could have only existed in the Constant? Perhaps it was "Them" who, at some point in the far flung past, was on earth and had to flee back into the Constant, leaving their ancient and forbidden knowledge behind, only for some poor sucker like Maxwell to find and fall down a rabbit hole I'm sure he never intended to...

      Yeah, I mean, when you think about it, the world of the constant is pretty much her stage at this point, because she never turns her acting off, and just kinda *becomes* her character.
      And she was in the headlines, whether she realizes it or not, though, perhaps not really for the reasons she wanted.

    Wow this one is INSANE. I love the change of genre the animation took in her fantasy while still holding all of the Klei charm that it's recognizable for. Really gives a much better insight about what type of performer Wigfrid was as well, it's great to see some classic performance in there! The lighting through the windows among the monochromatic shots?? Beautiful.
    Of course though, Maxwell takes the cake for me, THAT'S MY MAN. The unnerving text appearing on screen even though all of these shorts have no dialogue has such adds such an interesting layer of eeriness.
    Thank you Klei, the excitement is SO through the roof with this one! Knocked it out of the park.

      Wx-78 and Walter don't really care about the constant i think. The first is an automaton, The second, similar to Wigfrid, sees the whole world as a means of testing his Boy Scout skills, or maybe he is just too fearless to care enough.
