No-one here is actually explaining it like you’re five, so I’ll try.

Space is very big. There should be aliens everywhere. But we can’t see any. Is it because

-We’re the only ones here?

-We’re the only ones who lived long enough to get smart.

-We haven’t killed ourselves like everyone else yet but we will soon (scary)

-Something else is killing all the aliens and we’re next. (Scarier)
