Theories are presented, such as Retro believing that Calvin's first altercation with the Imaginator left his imprint on the universe, creating enemies for him to beat, but it's never definitely stated whether this is true. Hobbes' nature, meanwhile, is hinted to be connected to the Entity, as it greets him as "old friend" when they briefly encounter, but Hobbes himself doesn't seem sure, despite feeling a small degree of recognition upon seeing him. In any case, by the end of the story, he has a super-vague idea of what he is, but he's decided it's irrelevant. What's really important is being Calvin's best friend.]]
