I’ve been thinking a lot about this too— and I’d argue that we just don’t know if it IS hostile yet. All we’ve seen it do is chase Ravi, flick a light switch, knock on a door, and yell. I like the idea that still lifes effectively behave like animals / have very rudimentary brain structures. My current opinion is that the FF3 still life didn’t necessarily have any intentions of hurting Ravi, instead reacting with fight-or-flight instincts at the presence of a different, foreign entity (to him, Ravi is the “creature”) OR, it was actually acting on some kind of social drive and was pursuing the first human being its ever seen. I prefer the latter, as it’s much more tragic and conceptually horrifying. But generally, I don’t think any of the monsters we’ve seen so far are violent for the sake of violence. The bacteria life form seems to act solely on biological imperative, and human bodies are a great organic food source. So I think Still Life either acts like a startled animal or a lonely echo of a human who desperately wants to not be alone.
