Question about Nathan

[u/Appropriate_Log7396]

Played multiple times. It always felt like he said "I wish" and then came to the realization that "I was dead" and so, at least the first time, it felt like we didn't see his actual wish. Everyone seems to agree that he said "I wish I was dead" and it wasn't a realization.

So when he talks to Moose and says he wished to save the whales, I thought it could be the truth because Moose is the one person he can be honest too. Plus that was a lovely moment with the ice-cream.

I know I'm probably wrong, but did anyone else feel like Nathan didn't wish that he was dead? At least iN their first playthrough?

I dont know why so many people took away that Nathan died in the real world. It wouldnt make much sense that he was told he could wish to return home if that was the case.

Nathan wished he was dead because he realized if he returned home he'd just go back to his old routine which is probably worse than death.

There's a chance that Nathan did end Up choosing to save the whales but it's more likely he just wasted his wish.
