[[WMG:The Secretaries were waiting for the Guardians to be killed before moving in]]
The world map is very barren, so it's plausible the Secretaries were waiting somewhere outside the world map's zone locations. However, while powerful, the inhabitants might be capable of fending them off if they supported the local guardian during an invasion of Secretaries. Once The Batter killed off the guardian of each zone however, the inhabitants were defenseless and subsequently slaughtered.

Much like Sunny, Hugo created the world in his head to cope with some event in his life, such as a terminal illness. The Batter functions much like Omori- a sort-of alter ego who has some level of control over the world. Back in Sunny's Headspace, the various areas are the Zones of the world, and the {{Arc Villain}}s who serve as the main bosses are its Guardians. The Three Great Creatures are the original Guardians- Humphrey is the Guardian for the Underwater Highway/Deep Well, the Big Yellow Cat is one for the Vast Forest and Playground, and the last of the three, Abbi, guards the Abyss and Black Space after having been banished there. The other Guardians were created later- Captain Spaceboy for Otherworld and Snowglobe Mountain, Sweetheart for Pyrefly Forest and her castle, and the Unbread Twins for the Orange Oasis. The reason the Zones don't vanish upon defeating the Guardians is because Omori is not out to "purify" them, merely to defeat them in battle- with the exception of Abbi, but perhaps her Zone is soo corrupted that even purifying her does nothing to it. Black Space is, of course, the equivalent of The Room, where Hugo and Omori's darkest and most painful memories lie.\\

[[WMG:The Batter is the boy in the coma.]]
This theory states: the Batter was a teenage boy. His name (purely headcanon) was Michael Casey Battcher, he played baseball, and had some friends. His girlfriend, a woman known as the ‘Queen’ of the school (name: Vader Eloha) was, however, abusive towards him. One night, she drugged and raped him after he refused her too many times, and she conceived a child she claimed she would name Hugo if it were a boy. Soon after this, the Batter's few friends helped him get of the relationship, but the boy had been through a lot in his 17 years; it didn't help his depression or suicidal thoughts much.
Eventually, he tried to kill himself via overdose. Just before he passed out, however, he realized deep down that he didn't want to die just yet. He then fell into a coma.
Everyone we meet in the world of ''OFF'' is based on someone Batter knew. Pablo and Valerie were a pair of twins who ‘acted like cats’. Japhet was Valerie’s boyfriend, at least he was before he snapped and tried to kill the Batter, Valerie, and Pablo one night (nearly succeeding with the last). Zacharie was the boy who made the Batter realize he didn't quite want to die yet; you see, Batter was in love with him. He thought about him all the time, hence why Zacharie seems to be everywhere.
The Elsen are based off this boy he used to know who was very anxious and studious. Sugar was an odd, erratic girl. Hugo is depicted as nearly an infant because he hadn't been born yet when Batter fell comatose. The Queen was, of course, based off his abusive girlfriend and all her competences are things she's said to him (example, saying “He loves you not” to him after they've broken up and knowing the Batter wishes to persue a romantic relationship with Zacharie. The Batter's mission, however, can work one of two ways: First, it could symbolize him still wishing for death, his ending being him dying peacefully in his coma while in the Judge's he stays alive, but he doesn't wake. Second, his ending could be turning off the illusion of this world he'd created and waking up to the happy faces of Zacharie and his friends. This would make the Judge's ending symbolize Batter being too afraid or too depressed to face the outside world again, surrendering his form in the imaginary world in order to stay in his coma, as he feels everyone wishes he'd do.
