#I do think there's something inherently center to Quiet that Contrarian is the one to go against the construct itself

[salty-an-disco]

If we consider stranger the true heart of shifting mound. Can that mean contrarian is the true heart of long quiet?

while I do think Stranger is the most thematically appropriate heart, the very idea that there's a true heart goes against the game's themes and Shifty's very nature as an ever-changing being with many possibilities.

And much like their counterpart, Contrarian is one of the possibilities for Quiet's heart. Not necessarily the true one.
