My thoughts are similar to yours, but differ in one or two key ways. I don't think they are literal, I think that Theia/Selene is subconsciously weaving these stories into her mental narrative of Atropos. So in her mind, Selene becomes the astronaut that Theia could not be.ĮTA: I think the mythological references are also constructs of her mind in a way, since a lot of the books that appear in the game are about Greek mythology (in the ship, for example). Lastly, I think you can also interpret the secret ending with a pregnant Theia in a wheelchair literally: she was pregnant with Selene when she drove off the bridge, and Atropos is all in her mind, a creation of her regret and the crime she committed: killing her child and unborn child in service of her dream to explore the stars. I think there's a lot of references that back up this split personality theory: the fact the aliens are called Severed (ie, split from themselves/rest of their species), the binding imagery suggesting a straight jacket or other confinement, the fact the Nemesis boss fight occurs only in Selene's mind, Selene and Theia appear identical physically. Selene is the white shadow, that desire made human. Theia is paralysed/in a coma from the crash and Atropos and Selene are creations of her mind trying to escape what she did: drive off the bridge and kill her son, Helios, because of the "white shadow", her dream to be an astronaut. It seems clear to me that Selene and Theia are one and the same person. This is closer to how I interpret the story as well.
