Not everything has to make sense. The game is intended to be a work of art, symbols and images of which are supposed to invoke feelings directly and not encode any deeper messages. In other words, everything happening in the game should be put forth, and thenceforth taken, at face value without any interpretation.

(nothing that happens in a dream is real except the feelings themselves)
