Redemtion Start It Over Again Fic
Sasha Fletcher physically drops in to the Damn Library. In the flesh. Christopher and Sasha are actually in the same room, chatting over cocktails.

Plus, Sasha brings along When We Cease to Sympathise the World by Benjamin Labatut, which elucidates the beauty and savagery of math and physics.

Ron Howard * Christopher: Have a bathroom, perhaps use a Ouai Chill Pill Sasha: Loving with an open heart * Christopher: For the folks that haven't read the book even so, first of all, get read it. But there's a video game that Sam plays. Sasha: Information technology's loosely based on the concept behind the pic Wings of Desire or Der Himmel uber Berlin—I'm saying that wrong, merely "the heavens over Berlin" was the loose translation of the Wenders pic with the horrible—I mean, bless Nic Cage for all life, but Metropolis of Angels is not the same movie. Anyway, the point of the game is that yous're an angel, and you lot are going around in the world. One of the buttons is for bringing down your flaming sword of judgment, God's divine wrath. One of the other buttons is for listening in on the thoughts and intentions—essentially tuning yourself to the soul of the people around you. And and so another button is to fly, and then some other button is to redeem their souls. And then I thought that information technology would be actually fun to imagine a game where y'all are an angel, you lot're going around, you're attempting to redeem souls. In social club to really make a conclusion on who needs redemption, who needs salvation, you lot have to exist aware of the fact that the time that you're taking, these are how many people are beingness condemned to hell. So at that place's a running ticker of how many people are beyond redemption because y'all're deliberating on your choices because you're trying to brand an informed choice. And so that'south going to constantly weigh on you. I, when playing Scarlet Dead Redemption ii, not infrequently confused the buttons for talk and shoot. So I would shoot at people that I just wanted to talk to, and now the herbalist won't always help me, and I'm screwed because I tin can never learn near herbs. I didn't even kill him, I just shot him in the shoulder, and he'll never speak to me again. I didn't hateful to. I confused the buttons because they're all in that location. I accept a thumb. So conveying that seemed important to me—that playing a video game is mostly just fucking up over and over over again. Christopher: Right. Just information technology it took on this actress valence because it's angels. Sasha: Aye, and not simply angles but you can find your own life. You can watch the earth around y'all. Sam finds Eleanor in the game and only kind of watches her. And as we read along, we realize what he's seeing is non exactly a one to one, but it is basically loosely what's going on. Like she'south in the office, the room is filling with dogs, and then the dogs are filling the room with audio and so at that place's nothing in the room but audio. And and then the only way to get a Game Over in this game, considering angels are eternal angelic beings whose geometry defies our judgment or optics—like there's a part in the Bible where you can't expect at God because looking at God would erase your brain. Well, that's Christopher: Well that'swhy they always said, "Do not be agape." Because who knows? Sasha: Yes. Well, that was the beauty, and I think the one thing that's nice almost the volume coming out now is nosotros got all the biblically accurate angel memes. It was beautiful. They started coming out as I sold the volume, so I tin can merely go on a picayune thing on my Instagram where yous can look at them. Christopher: Yes. People should go online and Google "biblically accurate angels," because that is the affections that I assumed you lot were playing in the video game. And I also experience if you ever did the tertiary person view, the video game would glitch or something. Sasha: It would break. You can't see it. Information technology would fracture. It's the same mode, in the game when you become and yous wait at war for likewise long, the world becomes also much for you to bear. Yous can't handle that level of horror. An affections, in theory, tin can't handle that level of horror considering angels are divine beings. In that location was the war, just I don't know what that was. We just have what Milton said it was, right? Peradventure I'm making that upwards. I'm not a scholar again. I take a BFA in ceramics. Just the just manner to get a Game Over is to—like Wings of Want—renounce your angelhood, take up bloodshed, and then you, the actor, alive out your own life until you die in the game, and so you can't play it again. There'south no mode to commencement over. Information technology's over. *
