pathopen | Superhell: Lin Jingheng

[Well, that's about the same as him. At least he got exist with the ability to write. That's a good start.]

Would you help?

[ yeah, exactly. we're thinking in net positives.

he just takes a bite of his sandwich. he could easily toss this to lu bixing, but... he throws that idea right into the trash actually. nah. he'll do this. he adjusts himself in his uncomfortable dorm chair. ]

Sure.

Where should we start?

[It's uncomfortable, but not as uncomfortable as living in a cold water tank.]

... I guess we start with arriving in hell?

[Begin at the beginning. Or the end, if we consider they're all dead here.]

[ oh definitely not as uncomfortable as being in a tank or an ecopod. ]

From the beginning. That's right. Would make for an auspicious start.

Will you write it from your own perspective?

Is it common for novels to be in somebody's perspective?

If it wasn't my own... I don't know how I'd write it.

[ he nods ]

Usually from the perspective of the writer, or the character they choose to write about.

It makes the most sense to write it that way then.

[... Does he have to write about everybody? He hasn't spoken to everybody... What if he mischaracterized people? That's so rude.]

[ he nods ]

Writing about your personal experiences here would make for a good book.

Remains honest.

[ he tilts his head ]

What do you think?

I think everything I write is going to be honest, no matter what.

[Nobody has taught him to lie.]

[ that's so ominous i got chills wtf ]

... I know this place can be unpleasant.

But Eto enjoyed writing. [ a sort of hesitant beat. hm. ] So maybe there's part of being here that you'll like writing about.
